Unconventional assistance:

1: You know a guy who knows a guy
2: The unexpected thorn
3: An atypical ally
4: A familiar coreligionist
5: A former comrade-in-arms
6: A greatly-missed acquaintance

For once please don't roll a 6, I have no idea how I'd actually write that.
Alas, poor Omegahugger doesn't get a reunion... yet.

Ranald has smiled upon you this day! Or... wait... was it actually Ranald?

Who blessed BoneyM with luck?

1. Tzeentch, JUST AS PLANNED!
2. Stupid Sexy Lahmians
3. To Everyone's Surprise, Mork
4. RANAAAAAAALD
5. Clan Eshin, yes-yes!
6. The Slann, somehow

Edit: So for once, it was Ranald!

Ah darn it, we could have gottten the return of Abelhelm if Ranald Slaanesh had favoured Mathilde with the Holy 6.

Could be anyone and anything.

4: A familiar coreligionist

Oswald or Heideck?

5: A former comrade-in-arms

Cordin, that one dwarf ranger guy who's name I forgot (Ulthar??), Kasimir, Gustav?

6: A greatly-missed acquaintance

... Abel?
 
To stop speculation going too nuts, here's a minor spoiler for the coming chapter:

Mathilde rolled a crit on Branarhune and needs a sneaky-type trainer so she doesn't have to reinvent the art of going from zero to murder as innocently as possible.

1: Francesco knows some Tulio and Miguel types
2: Soizic knows a thing or two from her pre-Knight days - Bretonnian women have cultivated the art of 'accidentally' stabbing someone with a sharpened fan if need be, preserving both their person and their demure reputation
3: A Witch-Hunter
4: Heideck
5: Wait and see
6: Eshin-friend
 
@BoneyM, how many sheep do I need to sacrifice in your name to convince you to change that 5 into 6?
 
Alas, the dice serve the purpose of keeping me in check. Really off-the-wall things are fun to write but can't be thrown in constantly or disbelief stops being quite so suspended.

I don't think maintaining suspension of disbelief is something you have to worry about anymore. I think we'll accept anything at this point.

Although, that said, the dice does help to make it more "authentic".

Aww...

What about if I offered cows instead? Goats? Horses? Chickens?

...orphans?

I'm with Boney on this. Keeping the gas pedal floored is exciting only for a little while. Knowing that when we get an insane curveball thrown at us it's the result of something other than author whimsy keeps things engaging and furthers a sense of us all being along for the ride together.

Besides, if bribery/pleading works once, then for every important (and a lot that aren't) roll, you'll have some contigent of the thread bothering Boney with bribery/pleading. Which is just going to be really annoying, especically since a small part of DL is still larger than the total audience of a lot of other quests.
