And when the kid complains, the trickster smiles brightly and explains that, afterall, the heroquest is called "How the _Eurmal_ got the girl", not "How the _kid_ got the girl"

Actually, I think that's too nasty (and against the spirit of the quest).

The kid does get the girl, but like Greg said, it all somehow turns out differently than he'd imagined.
