Verified entry into this step
Earlier task to complete: Campaign of Thrones · Go to the Village Tavern for the election. Who will win — Jeffry or Heffry?
Complete the linked readiness reply and let the election scene return control. In that tavern scene, finish both separate conversations with the characters below, in either order. Let the second conversation finish and return control, then use the prepared tavern exit interaction. It starts this task while the exit conversation may still continue; let the remaining scene finish before following the new objective.
Conversation choices for this entry:
- Ready for the Election.
Characters to speak to for this entry:
Other tasks started at the same point:
- A Cure for Wellness · Speak with Linda about Albert's health. She's always at her Dockside Club.
- Notorious Nun · I should find out more from Agatha about the precarious state of her reputation. She lives at the Crossroads.
- Goddess in the Swamp · Bring Faith to Jully, so he can perform the ritual for the Goddess in the Swamp. He's at the Village Tavern.
Complete the current objective and retain its own conditions. These are the verified follow-up actions and results; earlier access, other control restrictions and later story triggers still apply. This does not certify the full activation chain or unusual-save recovery.
