For the quests with no reason, there's 20 Bear Asses.
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
From time to time I see series where the heroes are on a quest to collect a number of Mac Guffins. Many times they've been pieces of a whole. Other times they're just all necessary items surrounding a central task. It's fairly common in RP Gs and adventure games, with you gathering a collection of talismans or orbs or weapons/armors or some other manner of ancient/sacred/mystic objects. So, is there a trope for this sort of situation or quest to find them all and bring them together?
