[HQ Ignorance] Scene 60: The Angel of Mourning. Thinking time

[Sam Elliot]

Stop right there! (in the words of Meatloaf)

I have to say at this point that one of the things I most like about
heroquests is having to find out what the story is in the first place
(after playing KoDP, you see). I wouldn't mind a bit of that,
personally. Given we are talking Arkati juju here, and given our
characters seem to be at the toppling kingdoms level (somehow), can we
not go dangerous and rewrite the story? Get a version from Azhur (or
better yet, from the banner) and a version from Wilkairtha, one from
Knarl.

Why did they get cursed, by the way? Can't remember.

Sam.
