In the plot description, I said pick three cults or power groups in your
campaing to use this on. The StormBull, Orlanthi, and Trickster were just
examples for the plot demonstartion. If you don't like my choices for the
sample, don't discard a good idea. Modify it.
This plot actually developed in a science fiction RPG and the three *cults*
were actually mega-corporations. I then adapted it to a scenario for RQ. I
thought it might provide some seed creativity to get people rolling.

Exactly! I cna hear my characters now. "Another vendetta? Didn't we just
do that for the last three months? Okay guys, let's go kill all his family
and not think our way out of this one."
New plot twist are great especially if the characters have to figure, not
fight their way out.
