Operation text
"Inquisitor,

Forgive me not addressing this in person, but I'm sure you will understand soon enough. I am, of course, not who I claim to be. I say 'of course' because from the company you keep, it seems quite the fashion on the day. That said, my name serves the role I have taken and is of little worth outside of it. I masquerade so I can serve. Be certain of that.

Now that I have reminded you of how ever so clever your servants are, I must say that I was quite foolish to think I could participate in so direct a manner while still maintaining secrecy. In short, I am under threat, and as a loyal servant of the inquisition, I should hope you could make said threat disappear. Presumptuous, perhaps, but I only ask so I can remain focused on your needs, not this foolishness of mine.

Bonny Sims

A ransom note follows, with a time and location for a drop-off:

We both know your type. Appearances matter, and all that. So pay up, and no one will know. You can keep playing whatever game you are planning for that Inquisitor."

Advisor suggestions
Josephine - 03:00:00 "A ransom large enough to seem serious, but not enough to require capital. Nobility pay such things all the time. For simplicity, I recommend the same."

Leliana - 02:45:00 "Of her three nieces, one was traveling to Val Chevin. A single blade in the local caves will have her back."

Cullen - 03:00:00 "They were confident she would not tell you. They'll expect her to pay, and panic if they see a large force. A small group will take them quickly."

Results
Josephine "A simple exchange. A pittance for a life. For our coin, we freed a young girl related to nobility in Val Chevin. They have expressed gratitude, but wish to make no public alliances for fear of 'familial obligations that might restrict the actions of your merchant.'

The girl wished us to thank 'her aunt,' although she laughed when asked if that was 'Bonny Sims.' Apparently, that was the name of her first horse.

Josephine"

Leliana "I am told that a dedicated blade entered the caves near Val Chevin, and the next morning a young woman woke to find her captors simply gone. It appears that a certain noble family in Val Chevin sent thanks to our own Bonny Sims, assuming it was her action that freed the girl. 'Bonny Sims' has relayed their gratitude to us on their behalf. I consider the matter well closed.

Leliana"

Cullen "Our soldiers recovered a young girl related to nobility in Val Cevin. They have expressed gratitude, but wish to make no public alliances for fear of 'familial obligations that might restrict the actions of your merchant.'
