Mortal Choice - Revision history

IcyLeoDragon: /* Choices */ Added an alternate name for the event. Should this be moved to Death Choice or something like that? Mortal choice is specifically the event that allows a hero to avoid death. Encounter_Death_Choice is the name in the code, and Death Choice is used to describe one or the other of these events that resulted in the first death of Cvawn in the backstory of All the Bones of Summer. There may be a better name for a hero reaching 0 health, but Mortal Choice is not the same thing.
