(I’m assuming this game has some amount of bluffing involved?
(Or is it pure chance?)
((I think it’s something like poker. Part luck for your given cards / hands, part skill for reading your opponents’ facial and body expressions.))

“Wonder what they did see, if it wasn’t a big scary dragon. Heh*

“I suppose I am offering direct aid with your mission.” He scratches his chin. “I am skilled in social matters in addition to being a Cleric of Pulura.”
“Oh, right. Most people care about payment. I don’t?”
[It’s mixed bluff + chance. Not literally exactly poker, but the same general genre.]
[I am assuming you guys don’t want to play out literally an entire game of Fake Poker, so my inclination is to resolve who wins by rolling a combined bluff/sense motive check (this isn’t, like, exactly a thing that exists RAW, but basically what I’m imagining is, roll a single d20, add your Bluff modifier, add your Sense Motive modifier), unless someone has an Alternative Suggestion]

“Hey, we’ll let anyone play,” says the guy who’s been winning the most. “More people, more fun, right? That’s how I see it.”

He shrugs. “Probably a giant snake or something.” He bounces on the balls of his feet. “Are you ready to take down my letter?”

He does the equivalent to a spit take.
“No! No no no.”
He sighs and recomposes himself.
“Pulura is an Empyreal Lord. …It would be best to use a comparison point, so consider her as similar to Desna in most respects.”

He relaxes slightly. “Oh good. Maybe tomorrow you can tell him that Pulura sent you a dream and told you to help him, and just not mention me at all?”
(Given your experience with theological matters, you’re pretty sure that, like many people, he is vastly overestimating the frequency of that sort of very obvious divine intervention.)

Drakor (pronounced Drack-or, not Drake-or) folded his hands. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
He stared intently at the players and the cards.

“I’m pretty sure I can just convince him that it’s the best course of action. A bit of a digression, but divine intervention doesn’t happen with particular frequency. I’ve only seen two direct visions in my life and they were (pause) particularly difficult to decipher.”
He shrugs.
“Think about it from his perspective. Someone he doesn’t know walks up to him saying that ‘I got a dream to work alongside you on your mission.’ It’d be kind of suspect.”
