To start this thread i am using a post (or at least part of a post) from Set. The Idea of this thread is to submit your own story hook ideas and or expound on others already submitted.
Remembering as well that we are all individuals, so lets keep it civil.
The origional post is as follows;
It would be interesting to see a scary, scary group of ascetic fanatics who are dedicated to the eradication of fiends (maybe daemons in particular), by gathering up volunteers who are willing to dedicate their lives to containing the evil outsiders. Not 'containing their threat,' but actually, physically *containing* them. The volunteers bodies are tattooed and enscribed with binding sigils and glyphs and they are assigned to special cells, within summoning circles. The leaders of the sect call up daemons (devils, demons, whatever) and bind them to possess the volunteers. Once inside, the fiend finds that the magical sigils prevent it from escaping, and the volunteers body is restrained in such a way that the demon can't just 'suicide' it's way to freedom (and, even then, the sigils remain potent, and the demon would just be trapped in the corpse!).
For the lifetime of each mortal volunteer kept within the cells, ranting and shrieking with the rage of a trapped fiend, one immortal unkillable creature of irredeemable evil is removed from the universe, unable to work it's wickedness. The Damned...
Or what if the cult evil and thought they were doing good? What if they KIDNAPPED others to be these vessels?
