Or approach the stepbrother/bridegroom taunting "I know a secret!" Or
privately tell the chieftain, forcing the chieftain to consider the issue and
it's consequences.
But only after:
- privately approaching HER promising that he'll keep quiet if SHE will
give him a tryst in the woods (while doing his best to Seduce HER)
- privately approaching HIM promising he'll keep quiet if HE will do
something for him -- give food, give gold, give beer, beat up someone, give
him a tryst in the woods -- (while doing his best to Fast Talk or Blackmail
HIM)
