Cute, but I already have something else in mind. And Frank is not an acronym.
On an unrelated but still important note, I am introducing a system of "oddballs" into this quest. Like the quest that I am borrowing the concept from, the "oddballs" are quirky, extremely talented and exceptional persons (some of them might not be from your old or new world) that will be rewarded on extremely high results or after major events that you have done. See if you can find them all.

Interlude: Troubling Information
Troubling Information
=====
Gathering information about Bloody Bethany Bunny was easy enough in that you did not find the information, the information found you.
To be more specific, while you are going about trying to gathering information about Bethany, a stranger bumped into you within the village and managed to slip a note into your pockets before leaving. You only managed to notice the note an hour later and it instructed you to go into a specific room in the village's tavern. The password was "Shadows sent me here," whatever that was…
...
It took fifteen minutes of you walking, but you manage to make it to this supposed secret meeting. After you said the password, you were invited into a small, dark room, illuminated by a few candles. The only other living soul in this room was wearing dark-colored robe and a wooden mask that covers any features the person might have.
"Welcome, Lady Frank. I am pleased that you decided to accept our invitation after all," the figure spoke.
"Who are you?" you asked.
"Me? Well, while I will not give out my real name, you may call me Green. That is Green for Greenhill. I am the local information broker for the area, a part of a much greater network of such talented individuals all over the known world and maybe beyond for a very long period of time.
And I suspect you want to know why you are here, yes?"
"You invited me here because I am looking for information about Bloody Bethany Bunny, and you have such information to sell to me."
"Information to sell? No. Information to give to you free of charge? Yes really. And it is a small fortune's worth too."
He then reaches underneath the table a pulled out a large box. "These are all of the notes, threads, and scraps of information we have gathered on Bethany, including a few very juicy tibbits that you might find very enlightening. And it's all yours for free. Don't worry, we have not booby trapped them of anything, in case you are wondering."
You stared at the figure in front of you. "What's the catch?"
The figure shook his head. "No catches here. You see, Bethany has made a hated enemy out of us by the fact she has managed to subvert and turn much of our network in foreign lands to her little pet cause. As a result, we had a price on her head, but no takers so far. We also learned that Bethany has managed to wrong the Summoned Hero by tricking her and holding some of her employees hostage. We hope that the Summoned Hero will have much more luck in teaching her a lesson she will not foget for the rest of her now-shortened life and to help move things along, we are giving this information to you, free of charge…"
The meeting only lasted for a few minutes longer before you thank Green for the information and exited the room. Looking back into the room, you saw that he is no longer there.
Spooky...
Upon returning to your office with the box in your arms, you quickly sorted and took in the information. JIt was quite substantial, especially that you have learned a lot.
Including information with troubling implications…

That is some serious stat our enemy has... Alright. I'm opt for burying her in a hail of artillery strike, followed by a firestorm and a flood, just to be sure.
That will allow us to neutralise her properly, rescue our men and make a name for ourselves
Sounds like a good- *Remembers Porter Gage* Eh....No...
Porter Gage?
The Overboss' Second in Command and Possible Companion in Fallout 4: Nuka World. He offers you the Position of Overboss of three Raider Gangs in the DLC. I gladly Rejected His offer; By turning him into Swiss Cheese.
Ah, the good old Starscream that wants to betray his mater to be the new master...
They can always be trusted to backstab you at the worst possible time...
Anything's possible, but somethings are improbable.
If you work hard enough and in the right directions, then maybe you can recruit Bethany and make sure she does not do anything to betray you...
Of course blasting her away with explosions is also possible too, if you can manage to redevelop modern/future-tech artillery and point them at her position...
- Location
- Netherlands
To be fair, WW1-era machine guns and mortars are more than sufficient to deal with her already. Granted, full scale artillery sounds better (and more spectacle), but those 2 weapons are more effective for current situation
Not exactly. He Betrayed the last Overboss by helping those who are more worthy of being Overboss, and will betray you if you don't follow their rules and find a new Overboss.
Well I have a Better Idea than being ruler of Three Raider Gangs: Kill them All, that made Nuka World a Better Place.
Point is: You say "Bandit", I say "Target Practice".
Turn 3
Turn 3:
The second month went a lot better than the first month. You have a small army to do your bidding, your finances are more stable than before, you found out a ton of facts about that bunny bandit that humiliated you two months ago, and, all things considered, most of the critical objectives are accomplished without too much troubles. However, you can't afford to relax just yet; your situation is still precarious and you still have not fully recovered from your disastrous first month. Another wave of bad luck or disasters can jeopardize all you have accomplished so far and could possibly be your undoing...
Wealth: 18+35-20=33
There are a total of SEVEN categories for you to vote on: Martial, Diplomacy, Stewardship, Intrigue, Learning, Piety, and Personal. Please make your vote in Plan format to ease my workload. Also, you can assign Joan Frank to one action (excluding personal actions) to add her stats to the action...
Martial: Things were much better right now than last month. You now have a small but dedicated army that will do your bidding that requires a bit of fighting muscle. And do you have a long list of things needed to be done…
Pick 1:
[] More Help Wanted, Quantity over Quality: You need fighting men and women (and maybe monsters) and you need more of them still.

Cost: 15. Reward: Random amount of fighting hirelings and/or creatures of variable quality, and maybe an advisor (Dice roll to determine what you get).
-[] Increase the amount of Wealth spent on this task for better results (input amount).

Chance of Success: 60% Cost: 30. Reward: A Martial Advisor.
[] Bash that Bunny Bandit!: "Bloody" Bethany Bunny has kidnapped your staff, humiliated you, and caused you no small amounts of headache. It is about time you get some payback for all of the trouble she has caused you. With the forces you have right now, you will go to the mine that Bloody Bethany and her bandits are holed up in, beat up the bandits dead, and rescue your staff. Hopefully they are still alive…
Chance of Success: 60%. Cost: 8. Required: 1 combat group. Reward: Your captured Science/Engineering Team rescued, random loot.
-[] Increase the amount of resources, wealth, and personnel assigned to this task for better results (input the additional assets).

Chance of Success: 90%. Required: 1 combat group. Reward: Random one-time amount of Wealth, random loot.
-[] Increase the amount of personnel assigned to this task for better results (input the additional personnel).

Chance of Success: 50%. Required: 1 Veteran combat group and up to two basic combat groups of choice. Reward: the basic combat group improves.
[] Leofarinian Army Request - Patrol and Garrison Supplementing: The Leofarinian Army's spread out thinly due to the lack of man-power and it may cause some problems down the road. Captain Raymond requested that you help him and his forces out sometime by sending in some of your groups to help out with garrison and patrol duties when you have the chance. You will be compensated, of course, but it might not be much in terms of wealth since most of your payment is in gratitude…
Chance of Success: 90%. Required: 1 combat group and up to two basic combat groups of choice. Reward: the basic combat group improves. Reward: Random one-time small amount of Wealth, random loot, Leofarinian Army's Greenhill Garrison's gratitude.

However, there are still much to do in this field, from building relations to petitioning for additional aid in your endeavors...
Pick 1:
[] Further contact with the Temple of the Divine Word: You owe a great debt to Annabelle and The Temple of the Divine Word for the large amount of support throughout the past months since your arrival, but you probably would want to know them even better. Who are they, what are they like? Maybe you could ask them to do you bigger favors down the road if you need one.
Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Better contact with the Temple of the Divine Word.
[] (Somewhat) Divine Rescue: Since you and Annabelle are on first name basis, maybe you can ask them to do you a favor by rescuing your captured staff. While they might ask something of you later, their help right now on this matter would be highly appreciated…
Chance of Success: 50%. Cost:20. Reward: Your captured Science/Engineering Team rescued by the Temple of the Divine Word and returned to you.
[] Further contact with the Village of Greenhill: The local village knows you now at least and they regard you with a neutral tone, but they are probably not willing to do you any significant favors for now. Maybe you should better the relations between your company and the village?
Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Better contact with the surrounding Village of Greenhill
[] Further contact with the Leofarinian Army: The local army garrison knows you now at least and they regard you with a curious tone, but relations between you and them could be improved. Maybe you should better the relations between your company and the garrison?
Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Better contact with the Leofarinian Army's Greenhill Garrison.
[] Asking For a Little Bit More Help: While you hate begging, it is not exactly a sin to do so when you are in dire straits and, to be honest, you are not asking for that much, yet. You will go to a faction of choice and petition for them to give you aid, in whatever way they can spare…
Chance of Success: 55% Reward: Random (what you get may differ depending on which faction was chosen.)
-[] Specify which faction to beg from.

If you want to pull off something big, you need more income and more money in your accounts...

Chance of Success: 80%. Cost: 0. Reward: Random one-time amount of Wealth, other things.
[] More Foraging for Food and Cash: The herbalist herself did do a good job in gathering useable plant-life for research and selling for profit. Why not invest in her efforts so she could expand her capacities and her profit margins?
Chance of Success: 60%. Reward: Income +5, random stuffs.
[] More Rooms available for rent, cheap!: The headquarters still have plenty of spare rooms not in use for now. Why not rent some more of them out to people to earn a bit of extra money? Of course, standard precautions apply.
Chance of Success: 60%. Reward: Tenant Rent Income +5.
[] Commercial space available for rent, cheap!: The headquarters does have some space available suitable for commercial activities like markets, workshops, and taverns.

Chance of Success: 70%. Reward: Sell all of the Dead bodies for a one-time +??? Wealth, ?????.

Cost: 19. Reward: Your captured Science/Engineering Team returned to you.
Intrigue: Your abilities in all things related to spying, sabotage, and intelligence work is still weak, but at least your efforts proved to be very fruitful this past month since you have gotten that very detailed report on Bethany...
Pick 1:
[] Help Wanted, A Personal Agent of the Shadows +1!: You would definitely need someone more experienced in this matter, since the consequences of failure for anything intrigue would be embarrassing at best, deadly at worst. Why not you go look around for a spy or private agent?
Chance of Success: 50% Cost: 30. Reward: An Intrigue Advisor.
[] Into the Inn Again for More Inn-formation: You know now that the village inn might is a good place for information, judging from the results in the past. Why not you go down there to see what kind of rumors and tidbits you can find again?
Chance of Success: 75%. Cost: 5. Reward: Random Pieces of Information.

Chance of Success: 65%. Reward: Random Pieces of Information.
[] Make a Profile, Annabelle: The local head priestess, Annabelle Hope, sure does have a lot of titles and power behind her, but you really do not know too much about her other than that. You should go around and get some background info about her, just to know her better...
Chance of Success: 50%. Reward: Basic Profile of Annabelle Hope made.
[] Make a Profile, Raymond: Captain Raymond is the local commander of the Leofarinian Army's Garrison at Greenhill and your point of contact for Leofarinian Army. He seems normal enough, but one could never be so sure. You should do some background checking on him, just in case...
Chance of Success: 50%. Reward: Basic Profile of Captain Raymond made.
[] Keeping Tabs, Bethany: Bethany is dangerous in more than one way. She is cunning. She is ambitious. She is an accomplished warrior with resources and contacts. She has made a fool out of you.

Chance of Success: 25%. Cost: 7 Reward: Location and actions of Bloody Bethany Bunny tracked.
Learning: Research progress is slow, no thanks to tight finances and lack of the hyper-modern infrastructure you are used to, but you are making progress. Also, those files you have recovered from your computer could prove useful…
(Note: Options marked with an * requires a military escort assigned to the task, please specify which unit type and amount)
Pick 2:
[] Help Wanted, a Personal Assistant (Hunchback Not Required.): While you are sure that your researching capabilities are fine enough at this point, having more capacity will not hurt. And who knows?

Okay just caught up and I think our current priority should be rescuing those Bethany took hostage. If she's supposed to get information about us, then she can get it from the captives. I doubt that torture would be off limits considering things seem to be all fantasy medieval up in here.
In that reguard, does doing: -[] Increase the amount of resources, wealth, and personnel assigned to this task for better results (input the additional assets).
, Raise the chance of success or does it just mean that we get better stuff if we succeed?

We don't have the money for that!
Question for dnzrx: we need the dead body only for Autopsy Or we need them for other reserch? And can we sell them and do the last Autopsy in the same turn?
I'm on a phone now give me two hours and i will post my plan.
And i'm thinking to try Keeping Tabs, Bethany and using our personal here since a lot of guys like her or at least try to get her alive.
1.) There are other things you might need dead bodies for, but they are currently out of your reach right now. So, Autopsy and selling for now.
2.) You could, I guess. I just need to figure out how to write things out.
Both.

Ah okay, so with the success chance at 60%, theoretically how high can we raise the success rate too? 100%? Or is there a limit to how much we can invest in an action?
Also it occurred to me that Bethany is bound to have at least some notoriety somewhere and you know what that means? I'd be surprised if there WASN'T a bounty on her head somewhere from someone.
Anyway, what else besides (maybe) beating up Bethany should we do this turn? Finishing up the autopsies would be great and exploring the mine would be good to start on. Out of the diplomacy options we should probably start with Greenhill aka the town we're in, since the local populace is likely who we'll be hiring and training workers from down the line. Adding onto that we should Scout Out The Village and learn more about Greenhill for similar reasons to diplomacy. As for stewardship maybe either more foraging for herbs or either renting out space. As for piety? We do the indepth faith study (duh) since we have -10 to cost for that due to last turn. As for personal stuff.... hm... might as well finish up organizing the computer since there's still an section left.
Opinions?
There is no limit to how high you can raise the success chance, nor is there a limit to how much you can invest. Getting to and above 100% would be quite cost prohibitive; you do not have enough assets at your disposal to do that, yet. And there is a point of diminishing returns where adding more things to an action would not be as efficient.
Although if you want to crit the rolls all day long, who am I to stop you?
