Greensleeves
Okay Marivhon, you do what you have to do. Zelba appreciates your consecration. Gregolas is pretty weirded out though. You get the sense that he's not 100% on board with this whole Zelba thing.
"Uh, no offense dude, but weren't you a monk of my god? Grisbane, 'member him? I mean, who's this Zelba babe anyway? Sounds like a knock-off of 'Zelda'... you know that Nintendo game? That was the shit, like you had this little bow and arrow, and hearts for life, you'd meet a fairy and she'd all like 'you're awesome here's a heart'. I played this Zelda game where you drive this little ship around, like this little boat in the water. Fuck I'd get so baked and just enjoy driving my boat around in the sea, not like going anywhere, just me and the waves. My little guy, the elf dude, what was his name anyway? At first I thought that bro's name was Zelda, and I was like 'that's kinda lame'. He'd just chill on the prow looking at the horizon, while I drove that shit all around."
"Uh sure, alright, I'll give you a Bless or two, between pals, we go back a ways dude. But I'm not 100% on board with this whole Zelba thing. Giant testicles and killing Steve... look, cuz we're bros, cuz we're tight, lemme cold tell you what I'm feeling. I'm feeling that you're pretty weirded out from being dead and shit. Which is totally understandable, I mean I totally get that, but it don't mean you gotta become all Silence of the Lambs and shit. Look, let's just crack a cold one, watch some 'Cops', it's Vegas Cops so you know there's gonna be some crazy shit. Let's just have a beer, smoke a fatty, chill the f out."
You can decide whether or not you chill the f out with Gregolas.
In any case, 'Scary fricking dude' is a fine NWP, Marivhon. As is 'Luting', Moth. Don't forget to roll those hp. There's not a lot of demand for lutes these days, so you can get one for 4 gp. The party used to have a magical +1 Lute, but somehow Stanislaus the Illusionist got ahold of it and stocked it in his dungeon. And although there's no more blacksmith, there's a pawn shoppe (where you get the lute) that'll sell daggers at cost (2 gp, unless you want a fancy silver one with an onyx handle for 35 gp).
As for the temple, it'll be an even 20,000 gp to get it restored. Between Brogg, Dave FoO, Marivhon, and Renwick, that's 5,000 gp each. Stanislaus's guys (his gnome and bugbear construction teams) will help you out. If anyone can make a CHA check, he'll drink some scotch, play some video trivia, and take 10% off your share for being a great guy.
...
As for Vrill, you hear about him through rumors. Grito has become a ghost town, practically. There are a couple stores still in town, kept in business by amateur adventurers, the Griffon's Claw is still open for example. But Vrill himself, you never see. On a CHA check, you'd hear the rumor that Vrill seems to come and go almost magically! On an IQ check, you'd hear the rumor that Vrill is working on a new spell, something to break down a magical barrier... the word is that there are still some people trapped in Greyhelm!
And cheers, Moth, for the 'blacksmith, mayoral race' reference. Ah, those were the days...
