But Orlanth didn't just dump the corpse in front of the doorway. Orlanth then took severe steps to make amends. If one were to approach the temple in question with sufficiently obvious contrition, PERHAPS, depending upon the deity in question, a HeroQuest of contrition might be available. Alternatively, an Orlanth Windlord always has the option of a Lightbringer's Quest (the all-purpose contrition Heroquest).

Of course, I'm being more trite than how one should game it--to simplify presenting the point. If the slain is of fairly low rank, some measure of weregild might be enough.
