Characters may add their Honor to this roll as if they were resisting Temptation. Characters with Lechery roll against TN 30 instead. Character with Failure of Bushido: Honor cannot add their Honor to this roll. Notably this roll also triggers Balance and Irreproachable Advantages.
What about the other potential bonus to resist Temptation, like Paragon of Honor and the Ikoma Bard rank 2 technique?
Should character succeed with this roll, they may roll again, success and each two successful Raises called granting the character's faction an additional Information point.
Max one time, or do we keep rolling until we fail?

Paragon of Honor triggers RAW so it triggers. Same with Ikoma R2.

Only once! As implied by 'Any Free Raises gained from 'Coat of Many Colors' do not apply to this second roll.'

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, the Fortunes still watch and judge us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the alleys of yesteryear. But it was never the alleys that were evil.

I suppose this is actually a general rules question, but its proximate subject is the combat event, so I’ll ask here—
Sap the Inner Fires has Range: Touch. Is it even possible to cast on an ‘unwilling’ target? And if so, how would that work?
Extremely good question! I think I am going to rule that you need to maintain the touch far longer than is convenient in combat - that is, it can only be used on immobilized and/or willing targets.

Does Benten's Blessing apply to Careless Whisper? It doesn't explicitly say it doesn't like previous events. Thank you!
Nope!
