Ok first some background, and a warning to my group to stay out.
I'm running a way of the wicked campaign. One of my players is running a diabolist character and wanted to make a deal with a devil to acquire the 'devil bound' template.
I'm fine with that and made up some stuff for an interresting sidequest and such.
But this has started the ball running and two more players are into this, one of them even wants to make a deal with a pitfiend.
Now I'm a bit stumped to find some cool things for the characters to do for these creatures.
Especially for the pitfiend. It says that pitfiends are masters in making contracts, and they will ask for some outrageous things in a deal, perfectly knowing that some items will be dropped during negotiations.
I've got some neat ideas, but I would like some more. I really want to hit that player with a boatload of stuff.
For reference, the true name he's tracking down at the moment is Alastor, the executioner of hell.
The tasks I have so far are:
* once a year to sacrifice a good aligned creature of sufficient power (minimum cr15)
* within 365 days of signing the contract destruction of a good aligned powerful magical item of artifact quality
* burning of a good temple within 365 days of signing of the contract
* revoking all monetary wealth
* a vow of silence
These are just some ideas.
Now if any of you would be so kind as to give me some more so I have a nice selection to choose from, and then hit the player with that it would be nice.
We're about halfway book 2. Pc's have cleared the Horn of Abadon and are now prepairing to start the ritual. They're level 8 mechanically.
But in this case
Other things to ask for:
The grace of an angel
The essence of children's tears
a dozen souls in a corrupted iron flask
the confession of an innocent man to a capitol crime he didn't commit
9 of the chaste must be...corrupted by temptation
convince a mother to destroy her own child
unleash a plague of undeath in the heart of a major city
turn a goodly monarch or noble against his people
And my all-time favorite trope...
round up 99 souls who escaped from hell
The above list is of course not exhaustive, but it gives you an idea of how to start.
Some nice ones Mark; thanks.
And a cool idea Melvin, but we're talking about an evil party so if I'm to guess I'd say the party would rather let the devil have him then give up a finger for his benefit. :p
Hmm, he's probably going to do that summoning in private.
That would be an awesome time to ask a finger of every partymember. :p
I'm curious how he's going to talk himself out of that.
Malag, it fits with the theme of way of the wicked. And it's not that much different from aowing them to get the vampire or lich template. (which is already possible in this ap)
They're going to need to invest time (which they don't have a lot of) and precious recources to actually pull it of; and then there's the tasks that make it even harder.
And their soul, that's already owed to another. Without going into detail to not spoil anything.
