Involuntary Heroquesting?

[Ochoa]

Could, for example, an Eurmal trickster fool a party into a heroquest for his own absurd purposes, without them realizing it until it's too late?

That sounds like a fun/risky adventure, so yes. 😀

You're basically describing a Trickster's daily life.

Seriousl,y, becoming a Eurmali is a never-ending divine challenge, and you are more or less obliged to drag your surroundings into your antics.

And even when things go wrong without your involvement, you are still going to be the one to take the blame.

 

From the side of the people who have to put up with a Trickster, one major reason to keep him (or her) around is to ease the transition to the Hero Plane. The price you pay for that is the easy transition to the Hero Plane.

I really like this idea, I think there are a lot of possibilities, especially if someone strays into the hero plane accidentally.

This also seems like just the kind of thing where you could be pulled in as ritual opposition in another team's heroquest.

That was not an accident, that was me! (casts Lie spell)

You are all awful enablers. Thank you.

Could someone Heroquest under the effects of a Hallucination spell?

I'd be more inclined to say spirit travel than heroquesting, but sure.

You are very welcome, it was the least we could do...

The old writeup from Greg's campaign about the Crown Test of Leika Ballista is an excellent example of this. She goes questing into Snakepipe Hollow, but instead of finding foul chaos to fight she ends up at the Feast of the Duke of Disorder.

Yes, absolutely.

Still playing around with this idea. I'm trying to piece together enough lore from the materials I have to see if the Eurmali could actually make the party enter the heroquest without them realizing they ARE in a quest.
