the three ghosts seem to converse among each other for a minute.
"gengar. Gengar gengar." It says with a nod.
"It says they will not harm the people who come here as long as the townspeople know not to come aiming to harm them or damage the property." Holo said.

"It sounds fair to me. You guys have the right to defend yourself and your home, so if people act in an hostile manner against either, they deserve what's coming to them. If you do agree to leave simple passerbys unharmed, then I think this is more than acceptable. We will be sure to let the townsfolks know", she said, smiling.

"Bye!♫" the elf said, waving back, as the group left the spirits' home.
"...Well, I'd say this mission is as completed as it can be without causing harm to innocents. Those ghosts are friendly and harmless if those interacting with them are not themselves hostile and aggressive, and as such, I have no reason whatsoever to harm them. Let's report back to the village and get our money", Lauren suggested to her companions.

The people are less than impressed.
"So they're still there... Fine, but you only get paid half." He said giving you only half the promised reward.

The elf paused. "...What? But... those weren't the terms we agreed upon. You said you'd pay the whole amount if something was done to keep them from messing with people passing in the area. We did exactly that. There was no requirement to destroy or drive them off completely for full payment, you can't just decide to alter the reward when the job is done", she argued. 6 in Social Skills to point out that they're being cheap and unfair.

The elf nodded, glad that the man was open to reason as opposed to merely letting most humans' usual intolerance of elves cloud his judgment.
"...Thank you kindly, sir. Also, we took care of the giant wolf people had reported to be roaming in the apple orchards. It will not bother you anymore", she added.

"Okay... Do you have proof of that?"
"The only proof you need is right here." Holo said revealing her wolf features.
"Well I'll be damned... Okay I'll pay you for that job too." He said handing over the cash.

"Thank you very much", the elf said, nodding as she took the money. "...We should probably stay here for the night, and head out for the ship tomorrow, yeah? What do you guys think?" she asked her companions.

Lauren paid for a room for them for the room with either a large bed for all of them, or two beds, whichever her companions were most comfortable with. She then led the way there, closing the door behind them once they were in.
"Thanks for the help convincing the innkeeper, Holo. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do it on my own", she admitted, smiling. "...Let's split our rewards", she said, splitting the 10,000 between the three of them.

"If you insist." Holo said taking her cut as she kicked off her shoes and sat down on the bed.
"Thanks." Tristan said sitting on the floor with Chester, and feeding him some greens.

"We're an adventuring party.♥ What adventuring party doesn't split the spoils?" the elf said, beaming. "You guys deserve it as much as I do."
As there was still a single gold coin left after splitting it three ways, Lauren gave it to Tristan. "Here, for a bit more of Chester's food."
