Lead Me Not (A 40XP Green Quest)

There's something you want, and you definitely can't have it.

Maybe it's that your friends and neighbors would definitely not approve; maybe it's just beyond your skills or means and the only way available to you is underhanded; maybe what stands in your way are respected people and institutions. Maybe it's even just a little bit wicked, what you want, but you can't stop longing for it.

And because of this, you'll be tempted. It might be your own thoughts or imagination presenting you a way to have what you think you shouldn't. It might also be a criminal, an authority figure, or the Devil. You'll have to decide if you trust what's being offered, and if you trust yourself.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Truthfully explain, in response to an offer, why you should not have what you desire.
[ ] Fail at upholding one of your important standards for yourself.
[ ] Experience a vision, dream, nightmare or imagine spot of how your life might transform, if you stopped resisting your desires.
[ ] Declare what price you're willing to pay for your desires.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.
