Tovo Ledgerhand wants the party entered without creating a record that shows his supervisor failed to issue the transit sheet.

The party's clean travel papers, useful information about their port of origin, or proof that the boat will leave Maesta soon.

• Offer a precise departure date.
• Let the clerk copy a useful detail from the party's papers.
• Ask to file a sworn statement instead of the missing sheet.
• Point out that holding the boat creates more work for the office.
• Find a witness among the waiting captains.

• Present the papers in a clear order.
• Ask which rule blocks entry and quote it back accurately.
• Separate the clerk's personal risk from his supervisor's mistake.
• Offer to carry the corrected file to the next desk.
• Threaten a formal complaint only after identifying the proper office.

• A calm, well-indexed explanation earns a quiet nod and one extra chance.
• A bribe makes Tovo suspicious unless it is framed as a lawful processing fee.
• Insults make him stamp the file CLOSED and call for harbor guards.
• Mentioning the missing sheet was never issued makes him lower his voice.
• Offering to solve part of the paperwork makes Tovo briefly helpful.
