The Search for the Bear Charm

"Our sworn swords are ready to take on a search of our holdings, my [lord/lady]. We have given Ser Ryel lodging at Bess' inn for the meantime."

Maester Lucas

Characters

Options

"How would you recommend we handle this search, Eleanor?"

Septa Eleanor

"My [lord/lady], this knight will soon be gone, but your smallfolk will always be here. Tread lightly upon them if you wish to keep their loyalty."

New Ways

"We will perform this search in a manner respectful of our smallfolk."

"Whether the lucky charm is found or not, how might we discourage thievery in the future."

Maester Lucas

"Without leads or suspects, the best we might do in that regard is to have such an onerous search that the smallfolk will police themselves."

Realm

"Let this search put the fear into our smallfolk, that they know the risks of thievery."

"I would rather catch thieves than disturb smallfolk. Groat, any ideas?"

Simon Groat

"While we do the search, I can put out some bait and round up a few of the known thieves on our lands. The sworn sword can then work them over."

Cunning

"We'll search the entirety of our holdings, but we'll use trickery to finesse the thieves."
