Involvement

Willoughby hosts the contest Laff Riot at the Elfsong Tavern, and is watched by his son  Belford Willoughby.

Laff Riot

The contest can be won with these choices:

1. Willoughby the comedian, folks! Were his jokes good, or did he just smell funny?
2. I tried sleeping with a dragonborn the other night, but it didn’t work out – he had a reptile dysfunction.
3. Our cleric tried to cast Healing Word on a ham, but it was already cured.

It is possible to try to intimidate the audience into applauding ( DC 20 Intimidation Check, then  DC 25 Intimidation Check), but even if succeeding the player character loses the contest.

Death

If killed, Harvard Willoughby's death is one of three conditions that must be met for the summoning of  Harvard Willoughby (Nature's Vengeance).
