Redeeming A Villain Or Monster

45 XP quest

You've found yourself with some measure of control over a villain or monster, and have chosen to use this to bring them over to the side of right (if a villain) or tame them (if a monster) - not by force, but by teaching them a better way. You're going to show them that they don't have to be a jerk.

For the purposes of this quest, they are referred to as your Ward.

(Note: This works best with more optimistic takes on whatever setting you're playing in.)
