I was playing Masterwork earlier today, and after getting frustrated trying to embark on a necromancer tower I decided to try being an adventurer. I chose to be an uruk ronin swordsorc and starting doing quests. Eventually I was trying to find some bandit leader in some catacombs and after killing five other bandit leaders and getting lost multiple times I decided to make sure my quest was what I thought it was. However when I asked about a quest I was instead directed to go somewhere and talk to someone who would give me a quest that sounded really important. I got to the castle and while unlikely to be important, there was only one person in the keep who of course was the guy (his position was lord) I needed to talk to.
Now I was really excited when I went through the dialogue so I sent it all in a message to a friend of mine, here's what the guy said "You have done a great many wondrous deeds." "The quest I will now give you will see your name forever in the stars or lost in the dust as the ages roll." "I am speaking for The Mellow Nation." "An evil lurks within." "Sleevedfortunes is a day's travel to the north." "Seek this place and confront Pufe Brewglide the Windy Crown of Razors the giantess." "None of us are brave enough to level an accusation against the beast, but since you would help us that is what I ask of you." "It would honor me greatly if you would bring some of my soldiers along with you.". So I have all the soldiers in that castle join me and I travel to the other castle and when i get there I recruit even more people getting 17 people following me which was quite surprising as I've never had more than 4 before this adventurer. I attempt to get everybody into the very inconvenient room that the giantess queen is in, but I only managed to get 11 into the room since it was a very bad location. Then I start talking to the giant and try every dialogue option except for accuse of being a night creature since I expected that would be the choice that starts the fight. Strangely when I chose service she told me to go talk to the guy who told me to kill her in the same way that the random guard did earlier. Anyway I try the accuse of being a night creature option, and she denies it the same way anybody does. So now I'm quite confused. I had expected this possibility, but was quite scared of the idea of just attacking her so I saved the game and made a copy of the save. I load the game again and attack the giant. I am immediately given 12 death threats and find that my attack was deflected by the giant's clothes, and am then attacked a lot. At that point I knew that even if I did kill the giant there would be no point to it so I give in to starvation.
Now the point of this story is to ask if anybody else has ever seen this and if they have, if they were able to successfully challenge the false deity. If nobody has been able to challenge it then this can hopefully remind Toady to fix this quest. It might be a Masterwork thing, but I know quite a lot about modding DF and I am quite sure that this is far beyond the scope of modding.
