IMO a lot of low level heroquests work on a similar principle. The myth involves enconters with Trickster, Zorak Zoran and a Chaos Monster so the clan kidnap a drunk, a trollkin and a Teelo Nori initiate. The returns are lower than on a full-on HQ things are less likely to go wrong. The Yelmalians in Cults of Prax do this to Biturian Varosh. - -------------
