Agaros Xamaroth - Dealing with Devils

The first rule of dealing with Devils is simple – don’t.

The second rule of dealing with Devils - unfortunately, you may be forced to do so.

Sentient Outsiders to the Prime Material Prime frequently negotiate contracts between the parties involved. Baatezuu, commonly known as Devils, are undeniably the greatest negotiators in the multiverse. The Nine Hells are by far the most brutal, ruthless meritocracy one can ever encounter.

The equivalent of low hanging fruit for Devils are the ambitious and power-hungry mortals. The most common traits among this segment is one – the parties involved are typically morally bankrupt to begin with. Two, they called out to the darkness, for the darkness will always answer. Three, all too frequently, the low hanging fruit thinks him or herself smarter than a creature who is the physical embodiment of twisting the law to its own benefit.

The more desirable candidates are the poor unfortunate souls who have fallen on hard times. A plague that cannot be cured. An impending battle that is assured to fail. Even the wish for the return of a loved one. Innocent souls are the delicacies of Hell.

Devils scheme, plot, and scheme again. They are patient beyond our comprehension. On the rare occasion, an ancestor makes an infernal pact, damning the bloodline into servitude. The Devil may call in this agreement several generations removed from the original party. Thus, an innocent completely ignorant of this agreement may be forced into slavery.

Remember dear reader, you may be smart. But, you are not smarter than eternal evil.
