Summoning creatures is for later. I suggest smoke-based minions, once we get to the point of summoning them.
I do approve of the 'impersonate a priest' plan though.
Let's find out more about the departed priest, for now.
You expend a modicum of mental energy to sift through the minds of the villagers for more information on their former priest. You assemble a basic knowledge of his person from their minds- enough to perform a crude impersonation of him, should you desire to.
Jitpau was, by all accounts, a most unlikeable man. Arrogant, greedy, unhelpful, and downright cruel at times, he did his job with the minimum of effort and the maximum of grumbling. Many villagers were led to question the necessity of various religious rituals seeing his all but blatant disregard for fast days, tithes, and daily prayer. In addition, the priest was argumentative, particularly towards the village witch, who he would in his frequent drunken stupors refer to as a 'demon-worshipping man-hating foul-mouthed whore'.
It was this last aspect of his unfortunate personality that led ultimately to his death.
A week ago, a stranger rode into town, carrying a burden of coins on his body and guilt on his soul. Jitpau was more than willing to relieve the man of both burdens, and they soon became good friends, drinking together late into the night, singing songs of a most inappropriate nature. In one of these drunken encounters, Jitpau must've impressed his hatred of the witch upon the stranger- perhaps jokingly wished for her death?
The witch died that night.
The next day, as villagers searched the village for the missing witch, Jitpau and the stranger argued. The man wanted his coin back, in exchange for services rendered. The priest insisted he had never asked for such services, cursing him in the names of the twelve gods. Their argument grew louder, until all the village could hear them yelling at each other. He merely said that the bitch
deserved to die, not to actually kill her, the priest screamed. Do you think I care what you meant, just give me my fucking money, the stranger screamed back.
The distraught villagers surrounded the priest's house, planning to arrest both, when there was a particularly loud scream from the priest, this one of pain, soon dying down to a gurgle, followed by silence. For a minute nothing happened, then the stranger leapt out of an upper window and sprinted away across the moor, the villagers quickly forming a mob and chasing after him.
You obviously know the rest of this story.
You leave the inn and search for the mayor's house. As you stand before his door, you decide to
-Disguise yourself as a handsome stranger and try to convince the mayor to make you the new priest
-Don't disguise yourself, just break the mayor's mind and force him to make you the new priest
-Forget about this replacing the priest business, just eat the mayor
-Do something else
