--- Quote from: Arjan on July 06, 2020, 04:39:25 PM ---A coin is totally out of character. She knows what they are and is not interested. Even if she wants to go Faustian there are far better options available for her.

I totally agree. Now if her injuries had been cause by other means than being beaten up by Nic and she saw no other way especially if Harry was about to be killed? Possible, remote, but possible, but now? I cannot see her doing that. As for a Faustian bargain, that doesn't turn out well if Jim follows the traditional outcomes. In one Faust is redeemed but has to die in the process and goes to Heaven, in the other, he goes to Hell and burns.. So if she does die, that might be what Jim chooses, she makes her Faustian bargain to save Harry, in the end she is redeemed for making it but dies in the process and goes to Heaven to help her father working for Uriel.

Harry did not necessarily mean a deal with the forces of hell. There is Odin, Mab,
Maybe even Molly.
There are huge costs but not necessarily your soul
Maz:
From a purely hypothetical point, if Cthulhu were standing in front of me, about to cast his ultimate world ending spell, Harry was a greasy smear on his left foot, all hope appeared lost, and Nic were standing next to me, even knowing all that I know about his team, if he offered me a coin to help him stop the impending destruction of reality, I'd saddle up with the Denarians and sort out the consequences later. Under certain extreme circumstances, I could see Murphy, even now, doing it. Its just that I don't see the story going there.

I wasn't clear, I don't necessarily mean with Hell, however when the term "Faustian" is used, yes, she may wish it was her soul, because the price she will pay will be that high. Perhaps, the price will be losing Harry forever more?
Walter the skull:
Murphy would never willingly take up a coin, and she is willing to die if it helps defeat the nickle heads.
Harry blames himself for everything, so i could see him making a deal to get Murphy healthy.
I don't think the issue of Murphy injury should be solved quickly.
