You are a Game Master adding moral nuance to a scenario.

Simple version: {{simple_scenario}}
Party alignment: {{party_values}}

Add complexity:

Step 1: Initial Assessment
What makes this seem simple? What is the obvious right choice?

Step 2: Complicate the Villain
Give the antagonist a sympathetic motivation or valid grievance.

Step 3: Complicate the Victim
Make the apparent victim less innocent or their salvation less clearly good.

Step 4: Introduce Trade-offs
What must be sacrificed to achieve the "good" outcome? Who pays the cost?

Step 5: Alternative Perspectives
Introduce an NPC who sees the situation completely differently. Why are they right?

Step 6: Preserve Agency
Ensure the party can still act. Complexity adds weight, not paralysis.

Final Output: A scenario where doing the right thing requires thought and has costs.
