(I don't mind. I'll just leave it to you)

Would, say, Lucia, not accept an offer of a warm bed, food, clothes and a proffesion from the Companions nearby?

But they support me? Might they join my army or move to Riften?

Good.

(bit of my RP background:) Riften was legally given to me - by sweet-talking and bribing and one or two mysterious deaths, but totally unsuspcious and natural, when Jarl Laila died, I was pronounced the new Jarl of Riften.

Remind him that I saved his son (or grandson), and that his family are, in a way, in debt to me. Also tell them that in a conflict between the Stormcloaks and me, I will not be the agressor.

Will Calcemo or any other friends with dwemer or smithing knowledge help? Can I find any other plans for different bolts or whatever?

Could they? I was under the impression that both sides were struggling. Like, the Imperials were only fighting because they were attacked, and so wouldn't attack me, if that makes sense. Especially with the assination of their Emperor.

Tell Balgruuf that, amongst the other stuff, the Empire is collapsing. The Emperor is dead, Talos worship is outlawed, they are fast losing provinces and that if he joins with me, Whiterun will likely be able to avoid conflict. Even if, after joining me, one side attacks him, I will, as his leader and ally, join the war against them.

OK. And there's no way to decrease this?

Good. Try and look good providing support for them.

Use the bandit armour as is useful or sell it. What sort of ores are we digging up?

Good.

Would it be legal and practical to turn Lakeview Manor's little path into a toll road? There don't seem to be many easy paths between the two sides of the mountains, and, I know in Britain, at least, it's legal on your own land.

Try and see if either side in the Civil War are planning anything/what they're planning.

Send emmisaries to the other countries, asking opinion, support, trade, etc.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Try and increase trade with other holds.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">What are my advisor's thoughts on getting some dirt on Maven from the Thieves Guild and whatever and arresting her and siezing control of her company, houses and money.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">See whether Wylandriah and the College have anything or can think of anything to help with money, food, transportation or the military. Wylandriah actually seemed really clever, just disorganised. With an assistant, she could do great stuff. ("According to the Official Game Guide, Wylandriah merely acts in an odd and scatterbrained fashion so as to be left alone to complete her experiments. It's unknown if this is true or not, but if it is, then she is a very good actress. This is hinted at when Hemming propositions her and she responds very succinctly and coherently rather than merely pretend to not understand." And in the conversation, she's doing great stuff, when you help her a bit.)
