Alu-demons on the Prime

Greetings,

I'd like to throw a topic out for ideas. What do folks see as the likely impact of an alu-demon (or even a full succubus or erinyes, for that matter) getting loose on a prime world? In other worlds, what kind of trouble do you reasonably see them causing/falling in to?

This could be either from such a creature as a PC or an NPC?

thanx,

Succubi...seducing powerful leaders, and assuming control of the foresaid leaders' organisation. Being labeled a devil/demon/random evil thing and being hanged/burned/drowned/covered in molten metal
Erinyes...passing themselves off as an angel to some holy order devoted to good, and ultimately making that order/sect/church, do evil/work for her...

I just had a nasty thought

what if a succubi worked as some sort of prostitute? It would have no trouble getting bussines, and it could steal , on a bad day in a small town, 5 or 6 souls a night, at least!
Cause you know, the blood war needs those souls. :twisted:

I don't think that would work. Since the people would have to be evil to go to the lower planes...getting killed by a fiend isn't enough(as I understand it)
And even if she pulled in a hundred souls a night, it wouldn't make the slightest difference...not even a speck...

It would seem I was wrong in several things. My apologies, Fidrikon.

no need to apologize, cutter. I didn't know half the stuff on that page. Could make for a rather intresting quest. But how to involve the characters without revealing her true nature?

Don't worry, afaik the essay is fanfic iteslf, so you are not necessarily wrong according to "canon". Not that anyone here is interested all too much in what's canon Eye-wink

I'd use a different interpretation of Erinyes IMC, but thats just a matter of preference.
