I ran a game with two MUs and no cleric, using the excellent weird magic system. I don't care if it's unbalancing or whatever. It was the most fun I've ever had with magic in a RPG!

Definitely went different when I ran it. I had Sebastian the Halfling (who was adopted by humans and believes himself one), Randi the Elf and Gustav the Dwarf (mercenaries who pass for human) and Luther the Cleric meet up in a cave. They were all seeking shelter from a storm, and Luther was fleeing a mob who wanted to burn him as a heretic.
One person seeking Luther found the cave, but was struck dead by Gustav's Warhammer. While trying to dispose of the body in the river, the party randomly encountered Jacob the Shyster. He was on his way to Karlstadt, and hired them for protection.
They couldn't get into Karlstadt the first time they tried. They were stuck in the refugee camp for a while. Finally they got in. After seeing The Provider feed everyone, Randi struck off in search of new spells to learn. Jacob, Sebastian and Gustav rolled very well, and were able to rob The Watcher. The game ended with the party heading towards the bandit's farmhouse.
