For what it is worth, I came up with several variations of the myth
(as known by the LM sage):
The oldest was attributed to Orlanthcarl which had no trolls and no
Baskelos (but did have the hounds).
One was attributed to Korol Vingkotsson (or maybe Ulanin), which had
plenty of trolls, but no Baskelos.
Another was attributed to Gorangi Vak, which had Gorangi avoid
ambush by trolls through negotitation. It had Baskelos however.
The most recent was attributed to Derik Furman. It had no trolls,
but an ambush by Gagarthi. It had Baskelos as well.
My own notes had certain stations "fixed" - regardless of how the heroquesters sought to "cast" the heroquest. Others had a lot of potential variation. I knew there would be an effort by Lunar heroquesters to ambush the Orlanthi, hence the Red Hunting Woman (as well as she may become the players' heroquesting adversary).
Does that help?
