Loads I would think - but those would be for you to explore. If nothing else, how close your clan is to the upland marsh, snakepipe hollow, prax, etc. will have some bearing on the types of enemy you will encounter regularly.
>What's the Thing with Many Bodies?
As far as I know, all the info on this to date is in the Orlanth is Dead scenario.
> Disease spirits? Gorp?
>Miscellaneous Chaos monsters?
See Anaxial's Roster for more on these. Basically, in Glorantha all diseases have magical causes - normally a spirit that possesses you and causes the symptoms. Gorp are giant, chaotic amoeba with acid.

Not seen the heroquest rules, so I'll pass.

Divide the ability by 10, rounding normally.

I went with the normal 13/17/2W/5W myself. I can't see any particular reason for doing otherwise - these figures would seem to me normal for 18-20 year olds.
Hope this helps.
