While I don't recall the reference, I definitely think that just about any quest can have multiple results, depending on how you approach it. I've written about this before.
In Jeff Richard's campaign, we had begun the Orlanth and Aroka quest, in order to kill a dragon. (We had no problems with drought, but there was this annoying Black Wyrm.) Then Erland Malansson showed up and basically preempted the dragon killing. We hastily adapted our focus to Orlanth Finds a New Friend (i.e. Heler), which more or less worked -- nobody could say the Varmandi clan were friends with the Malani tribe, but while Erland was king, our relations were much better than before or after.
