This conversation is getting too godlearnerish. In attempting a quest, even weirdoes like PCs know and respect the power of Myth. Noone, except the accursed godlearners (may Hyena gnaw their bones) would attempt to use Lodril's Fire Sypon in an "Issaries the Conciliator" re-enactment ! The Uroxi / Storm Bull would have to physically beat sakkar out of its senses (not killing it), then romance (read "mate with") the praxian clan queen - to which her husband might object.

An orlanthi standing in for Storm Bull : no problem. A humakti : still possible, but the Power of Death might jam a peaceful quest A lodrili : not possible, and no righteous lodrili would go for such a quest - except maybe a praxian agimori who has a stake in stopping the feud ?

Hi all,

I'm on the look for bad things that could happen in a "This World" heroquest. Let's say this is an Issaries heroquest, and the PCs (none of them Issaries initiates) have been recruited by the Issaries priest/merchant to accompany him in the quest and act as his guard.

What if the Issaries priest NPC dies during the quest? Would the quest automatically fail and end at that point or would the PCs still be able to go on to try and finish the quest without him?

What if one of the PCs is an initiate of the Solar pantheon, for example, could he be able to use his solar magic normally during the Issaries quest or would that be more difficult for him as it is not appropriate for the quest?

If the heroquest ends well and the Issaries priest achieves his goal, would his "guard" get another (smaller) benefit?
