That's it! "Propitiating the Dark Hag" in Enclosure 1 page 9. I knew I have read it somewhere :).

Yes, that's the saga outline I'm using. I have used adventures from other sources (even adventures in the "Pagan Shore" Pendragon supplement), but Korol Saga and King of Dragon Pass are my main source of inspiration.

Indeed, I have played the first part of the adventure, with the Hag acting rudely in the stead, a reading of omens and the players meeting a Dark Troll in Old Top. The players are enjoying the adventure :).

I also like the suggestions from Roderick and Sam Elliot, and now I must decide what the Mountain Goddess will require from the PC's. The idea of all the women wed with some clan for a number of years is very interesting :).

Thank you everybody! Great suggestions
