So one of my players gave me a neat idea a few weeks ago, and it's coming together in an interesting way that I feel like writing about. :)
Background Event #1:
Background Event #2:
So I wanted to redeem my screwed-up RP-ing of the devil, and wanted to come up with something neat for the cleric. The solution, in two parts:
The cleric has made one sally so far, saying that it's not a real victory to kill a sin mage with sin magic, but the others weren't persuaded. I assume he'll start to turn up the volume as the decisive moment gets closer.
(It struck me as nicely devilish that the fiend is repaying his debt, endangering a hated enemy, and nudging heroic mortals towards corruption all at once.)
