Ye Olde Inn

Actually, on closer inspection there are several more similarities in some quests:
1) Q5 Castle of Dread bears a resemblance to Q12 Barak Tor.
2) Q8 Malediction of Darkness has the four stone chaos warriors in the same location as in Q7 The Lost Wizard.
3) Q12 Mystery of Star Lake is very similar to Q10 Castle of Mystery, but not identical.
4) Q13 Temple of Ice is very similar to Q11 Bastion of Chaos.
5) Q14 The Final Battle shares similarities with Q14 Return to Barak Tor

Yeah, it is a bizarre quest. The Barbarian faces more monsters in his quest than the entire team do in some quests. I really just want confirmation that this is too tall an order at such an early stage of the new Heroes careers. I am thinking that it should be the last quest of the 14 to give the Heroes the best chance to be as strong as possible. A sort of final Trial before setting off on their lives of adventure.

Have a great holiday. I shall of course be playing HQ with my brother over Christmas.

My crew rarely has time to get together anymore now that my girlfriend's daughter has a job, so we haven't been able to go much further then Keller's Keep.

My girlfriend and her other daughter are unwilling to continue playing unless the whole crew are together. However they still like the game. However, my girlfriend is still willing to play unrelated solo quests. She ran through the Barbarian and Elf solo quests with me, working out the bugs.

Scanning through the Japanese Quests, it does seem way too easy for a group of 4 heroes, so I've been making adjustments to turn all 14 into solo quests, adding an artifact here or there.
I've playtested the first 3 quests on my own to find each is doable with a starting Barbarian with just an Armband of Healing. The Barbarian can buy more equipment along the way (so I've also had to adjust the amount of gold gained in each quest) and probably max out by Quest 7.

Of course, the 3 weapons prophecy falls apart at this point, but I can make further adjustments and have her need to find the Spirit Blade.

That sounds interesting. Let us know how it goes, cause writing solo quests is waaaaaay harder that writing group quests.
There might be solo quest gems in there.
