It seems like many Chalana Arroy adventures and heroquests might
include incidents that pose moral dilemmas rather than conventional
conflicts. For example:
- Triage problems: "Which of these two severely wounded soliders
should I heal first?"
- "First law of robotics problems": "Should I violently restrain this
mentally ill patient, doing harm, so I can heal him and do him good in
the long run?"
- Community versus individual problems: "Should I heal this
Chaos-infected person, even though he will be a threat to the
community once healed?"
- Thinly-disguised problems in modern medicine: "Should I try to heal
this member of a litigious bloodline when failing will surely start a
lawsuit?"
etc. I'm not sure you could build an entire myth out of these kinds of
incidents, but you could use them to elaborate existing myths.
