Amelia seems to have been waiting the whole night to speak with you. You expect it is merely to thank you for helping her win the bet against Lord Royce, but the moment you are alone, she bursts into tears. It seems her father and the father of Lord Royce have already made an agreement that supercedes the wishes of their children. Marriage preparations are already underway and, for the moment, Amelia is formally engaged. Neither bride nor groom will be allowed to see each other, in the interim. An old, but seldom followed, custom which here is observed for the sake of cooling tempers.
Amelia has endured much for the sake of her father, has worked painstakingly to acquire those virtues and talents which his ambitions demanded of her, but this final sacrifice she cannot make. She foresees the misery of living with Lord Royce, which all the comforts of his good name and fortune will not allay, and she wishes to escape it by any means. And in this, she would ask your help.
She has an aunt on her mother's side with whom she has maintained a long correspondence. Her aunt, sympathetic to her predicament, has entreated her to leave her father and come live with her. The only problem is that she lives not in these lands but the foreign continent to the south, across the southern channel. She knows you cannot ferry her through the open sea, all she asks is for you to take her as far as the southern port, four days journey by water. From there she can gain passage on a boat to the continent. For this favor you would earn her eternal gratitude, but her gold she cannot spare, for she will need it for the journey ahead. Instead, she unclasps the necklace she always wears, a keepsake from her mother worth twice its weight in gold (for the rarity of the gemstone and the skill with which it was carved) and perhaps more to her for its memory. By this, she wishes to impress on you the seriousness of her resolve.
You decide to:
>Dissuade her from this mad plan, she's likely to get herself killed or enslaved traveling alone
>Help her with all your power, though it will permanently sour your relationship with the reeve.
>Refuse to help her and tell the reeve immediately about these plans to prevent them happening otherwise
