This list of services originates in GMC p.234, and may be added to at staff discretion. If you have suggestions for additions, please send in a +request! We're happy to post them.
This is a guideline, not a black and white set of rules, but if you're wondering what, on average, a particular type of Contacts, Allies or what have you would be able to get you easily, this should give you some rough ideas. Bear in mind that you are in the wilds of Vermont, in an area known for its hiking and landscapes, and not so much for any kind of high crime rate. There likely aren't THAT many people in Fort Brunsett who specialize in advanced thievery, and one, if any, who do so in Tamarack Falls. It just isn't the type of area which would have enough income to attract them.
You do not need to have the merits suggested here in order to use the services below; it's just easier for people with the right contacts to find them, and in the case of criminal services, easier to acquire them without the police tracking you down...
