Cool. Do I get to make up an Aldryami version which doesn´t help in
the slightest?

It's the Frodo effect. If you are the protagonist and have a Sam
helping out, you get to do almost anything.

Yeah. I don't see much elfy or hunting stuff. But fair dos. Could
maybe bring the Lady of the Wild in somewhere, perhaps as some of the
secret wolfy stuff. I´ve always liked her.

Perhaps we get to find out who Gbaji really was!? My bet is that he
looks like Christopher Biggins, to keep the Meatloaf theme going. (I
found it very suspicious that he (Biggins) was at Frankenfurter´s
castle.)

What I like about heroquests is throwing headless scorpion-trollkin
zombies at the players.

Guess you had to be there.
