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.
