But the neat thing about heroquesting is that both can be true. Suppose Waha killed Basmol, then Tada completed the long-form 'Waha killing Basmol' heroquest. Now both of them killed Basmol, but the key fact is that Basmol got slotted.

Someone could heroquest to bring Basmol back from the dead, but the fact is he still died and no amount of heroquesting will change that.
