In which case, it might have been wiser to describe what you were looking for rather than dream up a contrived scenario.

Becoming tainted could be as easy as taking a wrong turning in snakepipe hollow.

Becoming a chaotic however is much more difficult because the compromise is so strong. Chiefly it requires _intent_.

There are circumstances in which a hero could tragically choose to become chaotic to avoid an even worse fate. But the concept that a hero might become chaotic without conscious intent is about as remote as the chances of him becoming a dragon without conscious intent.
