I too have been thinking about Andrew Larson's Thedquest. If I, your average Orlanthi Geezer, was approached by a Broo claiming to have been raped, demanding vengence/justice, and I twigged it was on a heroquest of Thed, I'd off the broo - no hesitation.

I'm not going to run the risk of helping it out, and why should some Uraini suffer for something he didn't do - that's hardly Orlanthi justice, is it? I didn't start the quest, but was incorporated into it, so it is hardly as though I planned to get any benefits - and Orlanth screwed up in the original myth, anyway, so what benefits could I hope for? Any benefits I might get from subverting the myth subtly are probably not worth the risk of the broo winning out. So just kill the broo.

Am I thinking right about this, or instead of being an Average Orlanthi Geezer am I playing an Uroxi, or even a 21st century earthling? Is the difference in reaction possibly a distinction between an Average Orlanthi Geezer, and an Orlanthi Hero In The Making?

cheers, guy (who has never really got the hang of the whole heroquest thang)
