I hope some of it is spill-over from KoDP! (I know a fair number of the Finnish KoDP fans are new to Glorantha.)

That does sound good. (How many King of Dragon Pass?)

Wouldn't that be giving away the game? (The illo is from KoDP.)
In King of Dragon Pass, she's been aggrieved by your clan, so in theory, anyone in the clan is fair game:
"I was taken from you, and you did nothing but leave me for dead! Everything has been taken from me. Now I take from you!" She has already wounded one warrior, and is about to do the same to another.
In most circumstances, I think Babeester Gor vengeance is a bit more focused, but KoDP is played at the clan level, so Robin Laws created this situation to have a clan level impact.
