Bargaining with demons

(1/3) > >>

nadia.skylark:
What kind of things would a demon want in exchange for information, besides part of your name, that you don't have to hurt innocents to get?

narphoenix:
All sorts of things.

The fundamental thing that I’d do is have them negotiate for things that are seemingly innocuous. Remember, the fundamental agenda of demons to spread evil. Maybe have the demon negotiate for something that turns out to be a simple solution to a problem later, but without which a PC needs to delve into a lot of complication and murky waters. Basically, take away something whose absence will cause a compel, later.

Mr. Death:
Probably the same sorts of things Fae would -- information and power.

Sanctaphrax:
There's a lot of evil vs evil in the Dresdenverse; a demon might ask for your help against a greater, or lesser, evil.

whitelaughter:
is the demon trying to corrupt the wizard, or gain power?

Because if the goal is power, the simplest option is to ask for potions.

For corruption, the demon is going to be comparing the wizard to hundreds of generations of suckers, and going for the appropriate weak points - which in Dresdenverse is going to be compels.
