Vote in my Campaign's Election

I can't help but think there's a way to have your cake and eat it too, with Moore and Elias.

Elias doesn't seem to need or want to be in charge in order to bring his skills and experience to the situation.

To me the best possible scenario is Moore as "head of state", with Elias as 2nd in command with a pretty free hand over the areas of his responsibility. Both supporting the other when it comes to each other's responsibility.

Elias might see a need for a bit of military organisation, but the town and it's people are not a military organisation and soldiers. He'll need Moore's skillset with the towns people.

Moore, might want to maintain normalcy, but the situation isn't normal. He needs Elias' skill set for marshalling the town for dealing with it.


This would not only seem to be best for the town in terms of best people for the job but also satisfies the motivations of both Moore and Elias

(if Moore has a background of maintaining power against political challenges and divvying up responsibility between friends and allies, I would imagine the above would have occurred to him, but if he hasn't maybe the PCs could suggest it and/or help broker it?)


Bonus positive is these two together likely dissuade Smith from causing trouble.
