  Not becoming jaded by any chance, are we?
   
  Personally, I get the same feeling every time I play an "Initiation Quest" scenario at Continuum/Convulsions/Conjunction as THEY ARE ALL THE BLOODY SAME!!!!

  Make them suffer for a bit - don't give them the leg back straight away, but give them an INT roll or something to let them "remember" about someone from a neighbouring clan/town who had a similar problem and got it cured. That way, they can go and do a scenario or series of scenarios to get the leg back.

  If someone throws a tantrum just because they lost a leg, then give them hell. My second RQ character had his tongue cut out by a fellow PC and spent the rest of the campaign as a mute. It didn't stop him much, as he bought Mindspeech and was just as annoying :-) (Yeah, I know, you have to subvocalise, but we played it as telepathy)
