Evil Fun with Demand

[NeoTiamat]

The Background: I'm the GM of an increasingly high-level campaign, where one of the main bad guys is a Cleric of Calistria with the Charm (Lust) Domain. As she's levelling up in rough parallel to the PCs, she's recently gotten access to the Demand Spell. She is familiar with the PCs and does not like them much (owing to being repeatedly stabbed on previous encounters).

The Question: What is the cruelest/most amusing thing that a Calistrian cleric can do with a super-high DC suggestion she can cast from across the world?

[Xenocrat]

Suggest that one slip away alone at night for an assignation. Ambush or curse as appropriate.

Set up party romances that are doomed to fail epicly as soon as the spell wears off.

Make sure it involves high end clergy of Cheliax! Her(Cleric of Calistria) great escape from the party(from an encounter that goes less than expected with party) comes from a distraction of Hell Knights bent on bringing certain party members to justice!

If the Party does manage to capture her and bring her to trial, she get's found not guilty due to blackmail and well placed favors...

Identify a loyal minion of the PCs, presumably one who knows a lot about them.

Demand of that minion that he go somewhere nice and private. Be there. Kidnap said minion. Interrogate said minion about the PCs' habits and weaknesses. Magically compel said minion to do whatever your nefarious heart desires, probably starting with continuing to feed you information about the PCs.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Make yours well-planned and comprehensive.

I don't think a priestess of Calistria would find it sufficiently cruel to have enemies hit themselves in the face...

ummm "Hit yourself in the face... with a wasp nest."? Okay, probably more fitting, but not likely to sound like a reasonable suggestion.

"Take 10% of the party's treasure and tithe it to the Church of Calistria."

"Punch the next wasp nest you see with your fist to prove you aren't scared of Calistria." (This is more likely to sound reasonable to a PC that doesn't like Calistria or the evil cleric, though debateable whether this is considered an obviously harmful act, since you can suggest people help each other in fights and punching the hive isn't necessarily harmful directly.)

If there is a bard in the party and they hate someone else in the group, have them compose a song insulting that person's mother and questioning their heritage.

I always wondered how to best use Demand. These are some great ideas here.

This is a thing of beauty. Probably more involved than I can strictly manage, but definitely intriguing.

Riffing off that... she knows the PCs well enough to have a sense of their personalities, so encouraging the PCs' worst (or most inconvenient) habits at the worst time. The Paladin who tends to be far too honest for her own good, the rogue who seduces everything that moves, the wizard who has the common sense of a gerbil...

This has potential.

[Kalindlara]

Use her other magic/resources to conjure a succubus, send the demon after the rogue, and use the demand to make sure the rogue gets caught in the honey trap.
