This is a little bit sad... my first experience in Yulash after surfacing was seeing Puszek make veiled threats at Upir, and the Banite who shaved with a ruler was such a permanent fixture of the town. I particularly appreciated the way he brought into fashion giving little jobs to newbies for sums that helped a lot while being pocket money for high-level characters - it both helped estabilish the Banites as an actual power in Yulash and was a fun interaction generator.
As for the unfortunate end to your attempt... I think it was a mostly doomed effort from the start because the mayor sees the temple of Bane as an extended hand of Zhentil keep, which is a direct threat to his power. So, don't beat yourself up, there are very, very few talented diplomats who would have gotten anything more out of him in your situation.
Finally, I'm sad to hear about the way your personal life has turned and very much hope it turns for the better!
Here's hoping things blow over and you'll come back to us when you feel ready!
