How do you get a very successful seduction as anywhere near rape?
I would expect being too sucessful would involve the seduced determined
to create a long term relationship irrespective of the seducers intent.
In fact the questor might return from the heroplane to find themselves
legally married.
Yelmalio's Hill of Gold HQ is a bit different in that the questor must
be defeated to follow the quest correctly. Succeeding at a station
where you should fail means the carry forward is a penalty for success.
ISTR there was an example in the original Hero Wars book but I can't
find one in HQ.
