Does "more likely" mean "absolutely all under all circumstances"? Your statement in no way invalidates my own. After all, didn't Monrogh quest the "wrong" way?

How does that mean that heroquesters MUST adhere to the myths as they are taught? I'm no arguing that most heroquesters ought to break the rules--just that it can be done and the results might (stress the subjunctive heavily) end up better in the long run. The weakness of the gods is that they are enslaved to being who they are.
