You determine that the five gods are figureheads with no real power at all, merely superstitions and folk tales passed around the hearth on cold winter days when the locals have nothing better to do than tell stories. You determine hat your prophet is
Poor and
Unconscious and also getting pretty cold. Further investigations bog down as you get hypnotized by a child's nursery rhyme game. It seems like such a cheerful song, too.

Well, let my prophetess have a bit of a break to do whatever it is she does on these occasions. After she's done, though, remind her to return to a pleasantly aromatic state.
(3)you excuse your prophetess with a muttered
"-grumble- Just don't forget to wash." (6) Which she does. She washes the baby, she washes the mother. In a fit of hygeine, she gets in everyone's way by washing the walls and floor of the bedroom in which the baby was born. It smells overpoweringly of lilacs, driving the mother to sleep by the hearth with her infant, and the father to sleep in the barn. Your prophetess eyes the barn a tad reproachfully, hands reaching almost unconsciously for the bucket of lilac water.

Find out information about these converted drunks. Have my prophet continue to convert.
You discover that these three drunks are old, poor sots, peasants who have outlived their usefulness and await death in their cups. On the bright side, the town is charitable toward them, leaving a spot for them to sleep near the fire pits in the great-hall, and allowing them to eat the scraps after communal meals, even occasionally directly giving the ends of bread loaves to them.
(1) your prophet gets into a fight with his followers, and one leaves the fold, bleary eyed and surly. you now have two drunken followers.

Now have my prophet keep her ears out for gossip and what's being talked about in the town while I myself listen for these snippets of information throughout the rest of the village.
Your prophetess hears strange rumors about colored lights and changing fruits. You hear that these miracles are being attributed to Olm, patriarchal god of the village, in a display of reconciliation with Bah, matriarchal goddess of the village.
