1)A paladin working for his church (temple) is asked to lead forces into crusade against a rival religion. Defeated on the battlefield, the leader is rescued by a ennemy (of the opposite sex or race) and healed. He find that the "ennemy" is in fact a peaceful country and they tryed to defend themself. He must now choose between follow the instructions of his superior or deny them.

2)A CG Rogue is asked for help to find a girl. The father propose good sum of money for his rescue. When they find the girl, a Evil Cleric propose them more money to lie on the father about his daughter's death.

3)A Lord is preparing a great festival and the players are invited to protect him during the festivity. The lord is attacked by a assassin. After a chase, the group discover that the assassin is a little girl. The lord order them to kill her.

Yeah I like moral choices in my campaign.

Er...I don't see the dilemma in this, as the good character really shouldn't be letting the evil cleric keep the girl...Kidnapping is sorta against the good code here.

The issue as I see it is that the rogue will either get the money and kill the BBEG relatively soon, or refuse and stab the cleric. The idea of the enemy trying to bribe the party is good, but perhaps have two neutral parties and the bribery come from the disadvantaged one, say, a noble and a peasant both want item to help their church. The person holding it will give to the noble, as the noble controls the city. The poorer person wants it and thinks that they will put it to better use, as they wish to help the less wealthy population rather then the wealthy one. However, the party, in order to help the poorer guy will have to steal the item.
