it has always bothered me whenever caught breaking the law you get the following message.
A voice whispers in your ear, "The officials in Crossing have charged you with thievery. We've kept things quiet, but thought you'd like to know."
To me, it's sound like my good standing with the guild is going to protect me by paying off some greedy guard to accidentally lose documentation my crime. That's not the case at all.
I think we should have contact ability called [contact bribe]
It will send henchman off to town officials or constable to lose evidence of our crime and take us from wanted to unwanted for a fee of course.
The fee could be determined by the severity of the crime and guild reputation.
If you're wanted for mass murder and the guild is a step away from making you disappear have the contacts ignore you.
If you just killed a man in broad daylight with seven witnesses and you're in average standing make it cost you a bit.
If you get caught snagging a necklace but earn the guild many coins and usually keep quiet not making too much noise then maybe do it for free?
If you're caught breaking the law at your pinnacle not being a nuisance this will happen automatically without contact and next time this message,
Will mean what it says.
A voice whispers in your ear, "The officials in Crossing have charged you with thievery. We've kept things quiet, but thought you'd like to know."
