having a normal mortal life,
gaining power to help others
gaining power to destroy enemies
power for its own sake/power over others...
giving the player a chance to roleplay what their char's ambitions are....

-----------------
Sola1: My friend, I have thought some more about our conversation about Bodhi, and I would like to hear your perspective.
PC:
1. If it's an opinion you want, I'm always happy to oblige.
2. Certainly, Solaufein.
Sola2: It seems that many of the shadows clouding my soul involve ambition. It was the driving force in my life for many years--I had no real goal but to rise in the drow hierarchy.
Sola3: Even Phaere's initial appeal for me was grounded in her position as a daughter of a powerful House. I did come to care for her for other reasons, but when she first took me as her lover, the political attraction was at least as strong a lure as the physical one.
Sola4: It was not until Eilistraee first touched my heart that I realized ambition could be turned to ends greater than personal advancement or petty squabbles between Houses.
Sola5: Tell me, CharName, how do you think ambition has shaped your life?
PC:
1. I think I've tamed it. I know that it's not the final destination, just the path that will get me there. (goto Sola6)
2. Ambition is the measure of your drive to reach your goals, and I have more than enough to get me to where I want to go. (goto Sola7)
3. I feel like it hasn't been ambition so much as necessity that has driven me, these last several months. (goto Sola8)
Sola6: Ah, yet again you remind me of why I love and admire you. I did not gain such wisdom for many years. (goto Sola9)
Sola7: True enough, my friend. No one who knows you could doubt that you will achieve all you dream of. (goto Sola9)
Sola8: I think you underestimate yourself, my love. From what I know of your past, you have not meekly allowed external events to sweep you along; you have exerted your will to achieve your goals, and I cannot think of a better description of ambition at work. (goto Sola9)
Sola9: But come, let us now turn our thoughts to completing the task at hand. The sooner we finish your quest, the sooner we can focus our ambitions on building a future together.
