It seems like the priest's extensive practice has bested your sheer force of will. The crowd around you dies down (Although one man does stick around after. He looks vaguely familiar).
"So this Satan guy. Where'd you hear about him from? I mean, he sounds like quite the God. (he pulls out a notepad) Could you describe his appearance to me? Just for.. research?"
Odon makes his way over to Kairon. Her small amount of ale left disappears. "Kairon," he begins, but through her drunkenness and the loud crowd Kairon does not hear. "Kairon!" Odon yells. She turns around. "Let's go tell the bartender how the meal was." Kairon nods, and they cut through the crowd toward the bar table.
Yi intensely studies the man's facial features, body shape, and mannerisms. "I learned this from where I lived, they had a great church there, though on the more rough side. Satan has two horns on his forehead with a buff body. his skin color is dark red, just like how you would imagine hell. hell ain't bad, it's quite a paradise for those who like to create chaos. he has many powers like giving the ladiest of the luckiest to those who follow him. by the by, you seem familiar, do I know you?"
"Really? Well that's great. I might actually be able to get a good job now! Well, thanks for trying my food. Who knows, maybe I'll have my own tavern in a few months."
He scribbles something on a paper and then runs out of the Thunder Lizard's door.
Yi:

The man seems to perk up a bit at your description.
"Great. Uh.. Yeah, I might have heard of him before. Did he happen to have anyone with him? Big sword, long hair, you know? Actually, you know what, I think I need to leave. Good Luck."
You recognize this man as the fish guy you talked to earlier.
"You know what's weird Yi, I sound a lot like this Satan fellow. Tell me more about them. I'm concerned that you are describing me. Which would be insane, of course." Kairon does her best to display discomfort on her face. As discretely as she possibly can, she casts Thaumaturgy, causing all of the fire in the candles to shine a deep red, bathing the tavern in a color reminiscent of blood.
Yi eyes lighten up and start to get excited at the drunken figure. "You mean... all of this time... you're the one. The only Satan? Why have thou not blessed me with this information my lord." In his excitement, he starts to calm down and studies intensely on whether kairon is really the Satan she claims to be

Why are we here just to suffer when we could be here and not suffer :)
After the initial skepticism, Yi realizes that Kairon, really is the Satan he's been preaching about for many years. "Oh praise the hells! You really are Satan." Yi starts yelling out to the whole tavern that Kairon really is satan. "Behold your very eyes... Satan! Now gather around again for I have found Satan!"

The inn goers who had previously disregarded Yi's preaching gather around as "Satan" is revealed to their very eyes. Although some appear skeptical, the crowd you had lost seems to have come back around. Several of them bow down or kneel on the ground before your "holiness". One man in particular seems the most enthusiastic.
Yi, pointing towards kairon. "Right here we have Satan! She will tell you the truth and from the actual source!" Yi almost seems like he's going to burst with excitement as he passionately waits for kairon.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kairon, in a minor state of shock from what she just pulled off, thinks carefully ahead, watching her wording, "I am the being you know as Satan, reigning from a powerful demonic descent. Even if I had any reason to, attempting to explain to you what happens in Hell would be futile, as no mortal being can comprehend something that they have no reference point for. I am throughly disappointed with the actions I have seen from all of you. I truly do believe in the creation and perpetuation of chaos, but I have seen many people who claim to be my subjects directly harming people that have done no wrong. This disgusts me down to my very core. As I stand before you today, proving that I am truly real, I ask of you to change this abhorrent behavior. Punish those who deserve to be punished. Fool those who deserve to be fooled. But never, never prey on innocent people or there will be dire consequences for you."
Yi, shows a little confusion, then becomes snarky under his breath, murmuring, "Cheh, I thought satan would be more part of the freedom and chaos." His criticism fades as he realizes these are the teachings of the actual Satan. "You hear that? Tha's the actual Satan preaching! Follow his teachings!" However, in the back of his mind, he thinks to himself. Who is this person to take away my chaotic freedom? Just go with the schtick and I'll be fine.

Rajag finally makes his way over to the bar, pockets overflowing with the flesh of delicious creatures, and hands out 20 pounds to each member but only 10 to Yi.
The crowd seems to respond well to your speech. The few people in the tavern who weren't interested have since turned their attention to you, and those who are paying attention seem enamored by your holy words. As your speech comes to a close, you even see the tortle bartender (who must have come inside to see what the crowd was about) nodding in agreement with your words. However, Rajag's meat delivery does break the facade a little. Most of the crowd disperses by the time the last lizard tail is handed over.
Yi, unfazed by the delivery of meat, "Thank you very much Rajag. But now we need A SACRIFICE." His speech crescendos gradually. "We will need a fresh lamb!" Slowly, his speech is calmer and more deliberate. "Now then, we need a freshly killed lamb to satisfy thou Satan." How would we find a fresh lamb? We need a hunter... The cleric thinks. Then, he remembers there was a hunter along with the party. Yi whispers to Rajag, "Call upon Char, the ranger, and bring him upon Satan and me. We need his hunting skills." Then, out loud, "Tomorrow, we will get our ranger and have him find a lamb for us to sacrifice!"

Char walks out of the room and greets Rajag. “Sorry I took so long. I just figured I could get some sleep now so that I could keep watch tonight. Or, I could hunt for a lamb tonight instead, as Yi so loudly suggested from down in the tavern.”

Kairon follows Odon to the bartender, feeling slightly dazed. "Thank you for the dinner. It is some of the best food I have ever had."
The tortle seems surprised by Kairon.
"Really? Well that's great. I might actually be able to get a good job now! Well, thanks for trying my food. Who knows, maybe I'll have my own tavern in a few months."

Rajag, not even knowing where to find their sixth member rushes to their rooms to search for the famed Char.

Aleinia enters the tavern searching for someone with info on her colleague's death.
