Defelent and 'Nymiiria'

And I need to arrange what's going to go in the sermon, arrange strategic bribes in the local law enforcement so the bosses of Riverside don't discover where our Temple is- those bosses include vampires, another religion and a group whom we once prevented from raiding a cemetery- I don't know much about them. We have potential enemies in each, and they all have better resources than I do." The head priest has a lot of work to do. Most things are his responsibility; he can delegate, but Defelent only has two sub-priests to delegate to, and it's the job of the clerics to find new converts- something they can't do if they're stuck doing paperwork.

"Well, perhaps what you need are some trusted subordinates, so that you can delegate those duties? It seems that you simply have too much to do for any one person to handle on his own, capable though they are," the half-drowess observes.

"Tomorrow afternoon?" Dani suggests, with a grin and a giggle.
