How did I forget Absalom O.o. For bow he can be manipulated by any character.  As far as Ross you have several options. It is possible of letting him pop up somewhere near the mansion or he can run into Dee. Or anywhere in the town for that matter. The garden. The woods. The bistro. He could fall upon the Red Jigs land and be at His mercy. They sit on the type of person your character is; where would they be drawn to?
