Random Event

Happens when Chaos/Undead left unchecked

Lords of the undead, vampires find slim pickings out in the wilderness.  The coming of the Orlanthi must seem like a god-send...

Event Dialogue[]

<X>, the young child of carls, <Y> and <Z>, disappears from their stead.  A search finds his unconscious body out in the bush.  He has two puncture wounds on his neck, and has lost a great deal of blood.  The people are afraid that a vampire is loose in the area.
  1. Conduct a ritual to protect <X> from vampire magic.
  2. Do nothing.
  3. Sacrifice to Humakt for protection from undead.
  4. Sacrifice to Urox for protection from chaos.
  5. Send warriors to hunt the vampire.

Consequences[]

  • Your clan will naturally be concerned about any vampire magic, so you may wish to conduct a ritual to negate it.  What effects vampire control may have is currently unknown.
  • Doing nothing is not a good option.  For one, the vampire attacks will continue, and this doesn't include the fact your people will grow angry that nothing is done with the vampire around.
  • A successful sacrifice to Humakt will strengthen your clan against the undead.  A failure may draw more attention.
  • Some undead, like zombies, are also Chaos-touched, so sacrificing to Urox may also work. It is a toss-up between the two deities, but having a devotee of that god on the ring can make the god-specific choice more effective.
  • If you find the vampire, you may well kill it.  You need to send enough warriors, but not too many for if slain, the vampire expels a gas that sickens those who attacked it.

Note:  If you don't take care of the vampire, then it opens the possibility of other undead or chaos monster attacks.
