If you took nothing the chance is Resolve: {1?10%|2-3?20%|4?50% (and the tax collector wants to arrest you anyway)}.
If you took +1 supply the chance is Resolve: {1?20%|2-3?40%|4?60% (and the tax collector will want to arrest you or get you to give evidence against the smuggler in court}
If you took +2 supply the chance is Resolve: {1?30%|2-3?50%|4?70% (and the tax collector will want to arrest you or get you to give evidence against the smuggler in court and the smuggler will hire an assassin to shut you up}
