Hmm. That makes sense but S:KoH p186 sez re. This World HeroQuests
"The magic of the heroquest draws appropriate encounters and opponents that usually match the known or expected inhabitants of the site in the Gods War. Thus strangers travelling nearby can be drawn into This World Heroquests, most commonly as opponents, though possibly as helpers. The power of the myth may prompt them to play their part or they may be one of the surprises outside the normal myth."
which is where I get stuck....

You could also have them try to escape after defeat to avoid being eaten, via Jumping, Flight, Teleport, whatever. Or, best of all, you can have the "Try to get laid with Deldorella" story... Not for the faint of heart.

Ok, I like this... :).
