Impossible Quest

Overview
The promise of the completion of a task is fundament to most forms of commerce and is common, really, to nearly all interactions as a whole. Given the unfortunate addition of “or die trying” to the lexicon, an unscrupulous changeling can easily bind a careless speaker to what may have been simple exaggeration.
