Content Poll 0.5.6.0

As announced in my last report, here now the next content poll.
With the addition of Julia's vote option, the entire list of options from the last pre vote round is now complete.

Julia's option is not only a step to further complete the storyline in which the MC might take over as Mayor/Baron of Arenfield (depending on choices) I also want to use this update to finally add smaller task quests which can be optained from the bulletin board infront of the inn. This is something I wanted to add a long time ago, but never had the time to do. In this case it will also serve as an option to gain Giron's trust in case you decided to deny him his other requests. The other idea behind this is to add a way to gain xp (smoothing up the leveling curve) and add other rewards like additional talent points.

I'm curious who is going to win this poll. Melissa got a headstart and I think it would be nice to finally get some content in for her. Would also be fitting to have her update right after that of Mira. On the other hand the rework option got a lot of votes the last time and could this time get over the finish line. After the recent marriage update, I'd like to have some more time to work on the dialogues and add missing context if the MC got married.

All votes matter! Your votes carry over into the next content poll and   are summed up with prior votes, indicated by the +x values. This means   even if your choice doesn't win this time it will at some point   eventually win. The results of previous polls and explanation to how  the  poll works can as always be found in the result sheet

Options of this poll:

Melissa (+294): She has come up with a   plan to search for a long lost expedition. Who knows what relics   might  be recovered or should they best be forgotten? She will also  visit  her friend Mira, a lot has happened since they have seen each other the last time.

Penny(+175): Now that the   farm  is  running  again it's time to consider reclaiming her lost   farmland.  But  will the  Coldstone family be willing to give it back? It's time  to  negotiate and to visit their estate to the SE of Arenfield.

Arianna (+129): her state is  getting worse! It's time to act and infiltrate the cult. You will join their ranks and find out more about their motivations. There has to be  a cure for Arianna and you will find it.

Bianca & Gavina (+151): Now that you are aware of the threat in the mine you have to do something about it. The dark elves rely on their goblin servants, it is time to rob them of this source of  labor!

Rework & Balance (+238): It's been a while since the last rework update. There are still some  animations that really could use a makeover. I will also use this time  to make balance changes and add additional content at places where I  had to cut it before. (I won't break saves with this update) + adding  some easter eggs.

Kate & Claire (+110):  Everything  is packed and you are ready to go. But there are dangers on  the road to  Kirlic. Claire mentioned an inn where you can rest. This  will be your  first destination.  

Sophie (+54): Depending on your  previous decision, Sophie will face corresponding problems. Will you sell her out to the orcs to help win the war for her  father? Have you made sure she is with Hekima and his men or did you warn her so that she ran off alone? It is for you to decide how her story continues.

Kirlic (+130): A new village to which  you can travel. I will add new npcs and first interaction with them.  Alongside that I will add new scenes for some of the current characters  and also content for one of the new characters.

Julia: The marriage, after gaining Giron's trust you can finally marry Julia and let her move into your house. (Double marriage should Liandra be together with Dave) + new content for Yasmine when she visits her stepdaughter at your house. Another goal for this update is to add smaller repeatable task quests through which the MC can gain Giron's trust (In case you didn't get it already) and to make leveling up easier.
