We go to the Stone-Hill-Inn, walking towards the Phandalin-Town-Centre, the bodies have been draped with a tarp and are cordoned off. It feels quiet. The commoners regard us with caution. Everything else seems chill.
Tehazysh and Sootstep enter the Stone-Hill-Inn. It's quiet, barkeep with his child, as we walk in, his face goes momentarily slack, he grabs the child, and runs up to us 'Did you do it? Are they gone'. Sootstep - "Yeah, they're gone", covers childs ears, "holy shit you did it". Sootstep then leaves after telling him, "Keep an eye on Tehazysh". He offers help, Tehazysh requests a healer. They discuss a healer, it'd take 3 days, he offers herbal tea, she takes it and heads to bed.
Yucca heads to the Phandalin-Miners-Exchange. It's quieter out there. The exchange it closed but the lights are on, Halia is inside doing admin. She opens the door, and Halia has pulled a knife and is ready to throw
L: "How's it going?"
G: Considering what you've done so far, it's gone really well
G: "Lady Tamora, goddess of luck, halflings, not your folk but cousins"
L: Starts tossing 15g, one at a time, like it's nothing
G: Shocked (like eating a takeaway in front of a homeless person)
L: Goes to chuck coin at her (nat 1), looks like you intend to hit her on the forehead, it misses her by .5", bounces and smacks Lork-Faithstone in the head for 2dmg
G: Gasps and comes to help, "that's just your luck"
L: Guess I'm do a win. What happens to the gold
G: The monastery collects some, pays for us to live, I'm going to take some to fund a party to find friend (Reidoth)
L: Do you have elections coming up? I want to run for Mayor
G: We don't have electoral processes, you should take it to the Mayor (Harbin-Wester)
L: Would you endorse me?
G: Gives a kind smile because they're being silly "I mean, maybe"
L: "When I become Mayor I'm going to tax the shit out of this Shrine" (successful intimidation)
G: Says nothing for a minute, stands up, quietly says "I'm going to need you to leave now"
L: "I have bought your vote, vote for me"
G: "You will not initiate me on holy ground"
L: "I'm going to talk to the mayor, I don't need my donation back, I'm rich"
Lork-Faithstone decides to go over to the Townmasters-Hall again. The receptionist looks at her, then the clock. "I know it's too early, but I'm here to talk to the mayor".
Cartwright throws her hands up in the air, "If you're going to be that insistent, you may as well have just gone in"
Lork-Faithstone walks in, the mayor has his back turned, slim slimy figure, split second before turning into the mayor.
Lork-Faithstone aggressively accuses Harbin-Wester of being a skin-changer. Mayor changes voice and says "what if I am"
Lork-Faithstone threatens them with fight now and make a mess, or tell everyone their a fake
Harbin-Westers skin melts and turns into a frog like slimy blob
Daran runs towards Harbin-Wester goes "What the fuck is that", swipes at him, does 3dmg
Yucca moves up and sneak attacks her sword into his back, does 9dmg, uses her offhand, to stab him again, does 4dmg
Lork-Faithstone swings (nat 20), does 21dmg, adds divine smite, does 6 more dmg. Cleaves the monster in two, divine light fizzles from the cut. As it dissolves Lork-Faithstone sees herself being cut in two as it dies
Lork-Faithstone drags half the head towards the Shrine-of-Luck and leaves it outside "Fear not, you are free of this being who was pretending to be your mayor. We come to you with a offer to be your mayor till you can sort yourself out". The townfolk are terrified but motivated and clap.
