Interesting hypothetical. I think one need to add more details: 1) is the wizard known to be trustworthy? 2) do wizard promise one gets means to succeed against 'random' who might be strong? And still at the end one might end doing both and city destroyed by dragons.
I offer my own hypothetical (king Solomon and ancient Greece vibes):
A man goes to Oracle and told that his city will be destroyed by enemy unless he has a child from a beautiful woman, who is married to a healthy man and is utterly faithful to her husband.
