You managed both deals without slaughter, colour me impressed.
Though at present time it seems your deals are heavy weighted to favour both the devil and the queen.
I will be interested to see how you uphold/manipulate these deals.
Our party ended up refusing both deals. A few of the players refused to let the devil taste their blood - meaning no completion of his orders so no deal. And the queen.. well, one too many failed diplomacy rolls. Players would not hand over the north, and with terrible diplomacy, no chance at a lesser deal.


I actually laughed out loud when i read - "Unfortunately, he had overlooked a simple matter. Thorn did not simply have a powerful trap and patrolling guards defending the entrance to his residence – he had also locked the front door. "


Again, well done. Very entertaining to read.
