 You have chosen to be the Spiritual Advisor (NOTE: remember that you are on the side of GOOD). You are an expert on mythology and Dr. Moony thinks this will help him on his journey. However, your smile dissipates as you discover he is eager to find Nergal's tomb. "Dr. Moony, I am glad to meet you, though I wonder if you are aware of the hazards in seeking out Nergal?" you speak softly, not wanting to sound as if he is making a mistake, though you wonder. "Ah, yes - Nergal. He was what, a god of the Netherworld?", Dr. Moony replies as he rocks back and forth on his feet, anxious to get started. You laugh under your breath. "Yes, he was, ruling with his consort Ereshkigal. Ahh, he was evil, you do know that?" "But of course!! What is there to worry about anyway? It is all just mythology!" Dr. Moony stares at you as if you were off your rocker. Well, maybe you are but you do understand that seeking Nergal is dangerous business. The guy was the god of pestilence, for heaven's, er, sake! You begin thinking about Nergal's decent to the netherworld. How he was told not to eat, drink, or touch anything offered to him. How Ereshkigal would try to seduce him, and that he HAD to refuse. Of course he couldn't resist, and so when he later escaped from the netherworld, Ereshkigal threatened that the dead would eat the living if he didn't return... You shake your head, coming out of your reverie. Yes, this is going to be quite an adventure!  Continue to help Dr. Moony, even with your reservations (Turn to page
