Influence an NPC (gain info, bribe/blackmail, gain assistance) Make an Object Participate in a large scale battle or war Plant something and help it grow Prison break Put out a fire Rally a crowd or group or mob Research Ride a mine car Running a gauntlet (traps or obstacles) Save someone from (illness, danger, burning building, etc.) Start a mutiny or smeer campaign Survive in the wilderness Survive the Earthquake, flood, wildfire, tornado, monsoon Take sides in an argument Trap (Analyze and Disarm) Travel safely (sea, land, sky, etc) Which ingredient should be added?

Establish an ironclad alibi. Summon your patron into the world. Kidnapping/Inconspicuous disappearances. (Need for patron summoning.) Fight off a powerful entity's influence.
