Bootlegger rules

If a Poppygrower is in play, the Widow chooses a character to poison. When the Poppygrower dies, the Widow sees the grim, and if no player was chosen, the Widow chooses again.
If the Vigormortis attacks itself & a Scarlet Woman becomes the new Vigormortis, one of the original Vigormortis Townsfolk neighbors is poisoned.
If the Knight has their ability, the players they have seen cannot become the Demon.
As long as Vigormortis is in play, Vigormortis killed minions retain their abilities.
