Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It is busy tonight in the d'Adder household. Morty's wife Angel is leaving her husband to mind their six boys, while she attends a charity event. It is to be held at Catacomb Court and Angel is very excited. This is her very first fundraiser - her very first what?

Answer: death benefit

A death benefit is usually an insurance payment made after someone's death.

Angel is oblivious to this more common usage of the term. Tonight she and the other members of the committee are raising money for a scholarship program for the Sepulchre School - a very fine academy of learning indeed.
2. Morty has begged off attending the gala occasion. He really hates such social engagements, and is hoping to slip away to toss a few bones with his friends and watch the soccer. Angel has other ideas. He is not gambling, he is staying home with the boys. He needs to be responsible and realise that this is his parental what?

Answer: death duty

A death duty is normally a tax levied on property after someone has died.

To Morty it is a tax of a different sort. He must stay at home and miss a rowdy evening of dice throwing and soccer watching. He has a very fine reputation for tossing snake eyes, but now he will have to watch the game on his own.
3. The children are still slithering around and as usual, making enough noise to wake the dead. Morty hates getting them ready for sleep. Angel reminds him that their curfew is 8pm. By then fangs should be brushed and each little d'Adder should be tucked up in their very own what?

Answer: death bed

A death bed is usually a place where someone dies.

For Morty - actually getting his children to stay in theirs - is always total chaos. Not one of his sons has any intention of going to sleep without a battle, and the baby hisses for hours if he is not rocked constantly. Even if they do get to sleep, they simply wriggle too much and their blankets won't stay on. Morty is always covering them up again. He is petrified they'll catch their death.
4. Angel is ready at last. She slips quietly into the room and Morty gasps. She is beautiful. She has on a sort of red slinky outfit from the House of Charnel and she is stunning. She is also wearing something that completely covers her face. Morty has forgotten the guests are to go in disguise. She is wearing a beautifully feathered what?

Answer: death mask

A death mask is a cast taken of a person's face after they have died.

Angel's mask is a totally different story. It is made of black raven feathers and looks quite splendid. Angel is very excited because her favourite band the Banshee Wailers will be playing tonight. It's time to go.
5. Morty has three rounds with the children before they even look like settling. He has read them two chapters of "Ghouls, Goblins and Ghosts" and rocked the baby incessantly. It is now quiet as he slithers to the parlour and hopes he hasn't missed the kick-off. His team the Valley Vipers is playing the Styx Serpents. He wonders how late it is and looks down at his what?

Answer: death watch

A death watch is the time spent with a person as they are dying or perhaps even the name of a beetle.

Morty's watch is wonderful. It is a glow-in-the-dark skull with cross-bone hands and it informs him there are three minutes to kick off. He hurries himself into the parlour that Angel has tastefully decorated in funereal tones, and settles down to watch the soccer.
6. Just as he sits down and tunes into the game he realises there is something missing - his good luck charm - his talisman. He can't possibly watch the game without that on his head. He hurries out again to find his what?

Answer: death cap

A death cap is actually a poisonous mushroom.

Morty's cap is black and brown and features a very angry looking snake representing Morty's team - the Valley Vipers. Tonight the Vipers play the Styx Serpents at Potter's Field. Morty finds his cap just before the whistle blows and settles down to watch his team.
7. The baby is awake. Morty is torn as his team has the ball and is heading downfield towards the goal. The baby raises the noise level and Morty slips down and heads to the nursery. It's obvious baby Mephi has no intention of sleeping, so Morty fetches him from his cot. If he wants to play, they can do that while watching the game. Morty looks around for Mephi's favourite toy. He is trying to find a what?

Answer: death rattle

A death rattle is the sound that may be heard when a person is dying.

Baby Mephi's rattle proves difficult to locate and precious game time is ticking away. Morty searches the nursery and wonders if his team has scored. He finally finds the toy, and they both return to the parlour. His team is up by one goal and Morty is furious. He has missed it. He begins to wonder if there is any truth in the rumour that some snakes in North America are actually born with their own rattles. It sure would save a lot of missed game time.
8. Morty settles the baby who is delighted to be playing and not sleeping and Morty's team is fouled. The ref doesn't call it and Morty begins to yell instructions at the officials. Finally the Serpents' midfielder deliberately trips one of Morty's Vipers and his team is awarded a what?

Answer: death penalty

The death penalty is punishment by death.

Morty's team scores again and goes into half time at 2 - 0 up. Morty decides it's time for some refreshment, and heads into the kitchen for some Hemlock Ale and toadstool dip. When he returns the baby has nodded off and the second half is about to start.
9. Morty thoroughly enjoys the rest of the game. His Vipers are on fire and nothing the Serpents can do makes any difference. As his children would say "Potter's Field is going off!" They win by 13 - 0 and everyone is amazed. The commentators are speculating that this is some sort of what?

Answer: death record

A death record includes details of a person's death, and is kept at a registry that records all births, deaths and marriages.

Morty is amazed at the score and keeps singing his team's theme song "Valley Viper's Victory Verse". He should put Mephi to bed. He scoops up the sleeping baby, who is gently hissing as he sleeps, and tucks him in again. He adjusts the nightshade as he leaves the room.
10. The game is over and it is nearly midnight. Angel will be home soon, so Morty does a quick bed and blanket check and amazingly all is well. He steps out into his back garden and looks up into the starry sky. He is really a lucky guy - beautiful wife, great kids. If only it would stay like this forever. He looks at a particularly bright star and makes a what?

Answer: death wish

A death wish is the desire for the death of another person or oneself.

Morty's wish is more positive. He wants his life to be happy. He also wishes that at least one of the children might go on to be a mortician. That would make their grandmother Luci so happy.

A hearse pulls up at the front door. Angel is home. Morty shivers a little as he slides back into the house.
