:This sort of thing makes for nicely atmospheric quests, which are

:the right place, but someone beat you to the prize.
True enough. That suggests that it would be proper to start propagating
rumours, etc. of the completion of the quest, both to give fame to whoever
did it, and to warn off other attempters as soon as possible. To me, it
would be kind of kewl to arrive just after the quest had been done, and
see the afteraffects of it. Frustrating, yes, but then you just have to
try harder on the next one!
