So Is a Pit Fiend more powerful or less powerful than the aspect of Mammon we fought.
More powerful, probably. We only fought Mammon's Aspect. The reigning duke here is definitely stronger than CR 21 to have held his grip over this place. That said, actual Mammon is almost certainly stronger than to duke.
 
Its a Pit Fiend left by Asmodeous to protect the Biggest Shiny.

Expect for it to be pretty fucking OP, maybe even capable of taking down that Mammon Aspect without numeric superiority.

The Wet Noodle himself is only CR 25. I seriously doubt that this Pit Fiend is over 22.
 
The biggest issue is that we have a very small party right now and there is an army of Devils here. We are not starting any shit in this place, and if someone starts it for us, we might just need to run.
 
I'm not trying for complex false personas or anything, but merely hiding our identities and appearances. That's just common sense when you've pissed off as many powerful Devils as we have.

We are actually telling them the complete truth about our intentions, which is the best part. Can't get caught in a lie if you aren't lying. Cloak of Khyber will keep them from literally seeing through our glamours. We really must hide the Artifact Cloak made from the skinned Archduke of Hell Avatar.

Thanks for reminding me I need to include in the vote that Viserys gives false names for the party, too. Wouldn't want to risk any of those "That bastard Viserys!" memes coming true.
:V

I know I am not going to convince you.

I just wanted to harp.

This place is far more akin to Amon Kelisk than the Baazar of beggars.

We're going to needlessly limit ourselves to preserve a secret that we will not be able to leverage into anything useful. As is traditional :rolleyes:.

And your trying to out paranoia Azel when he's playing devil's.

Basically the only chance your plan has of actually working is if they don't care enough to actually find out who we are.

Which is... Unlikely. As our mindblank might as well be firing a flare into the sky that screams and curses and shouts "hey look over here *********!"

But I don't care! It's liberating. Well We'll probably embarrass ourselves, but until we actually do something stupid I am free from concern! And it is a good feeling!

I don't understand your issue, dude. We're literally doing exactly what we are going to tell the Devils about. All we're not doing is stupidly revealing our identities.

We have substantial gains to make by being an open player here is what I'm saying :V.

We routinely pass up valuable opportunities for the sake of maintaining a "disguise" which we never use.

On top of that the attempt at a disguise is funny?

I would recommend looking into what it takes to create fake identity IRL. @Azel knows it, and intentionally or not has been hammering the gaps we leave when we cheat with magic.

What would you think would happen if Viserys Targaryen, the dragon which slew an Archdevil, were to show up in Heaven's Last Bastion where devils reign? Are you expecting everything to go rosy? "Oh come right in, it isn't a problem at all. Sure you killed someone higher on he totem pole but that's fine". No we get an army in our asses and we have to retreat. I don't understand what it is you are even trying to do anymore.

Mmmm.

Do they care?

As far as I can tell they are here to do a job, not defend Mammons honor. :rolleyes:

But I digress.

I've ventured fully into rudeness territory, and you guys are stubborn about security that isn't actually all that secure to a degree that beggars belief.

Like that Cerulean sign doo-dad.

That's pretty much my concern. DP and Azel confirmed that Viserys is important enough that Asmodeus himself would respond if we called him to chat. If we saunter around openly as ourselves then we're going to end up in front of Asmodeus' Pit Fiend up here. I would at least like to look around first and maybe buy a few things before that happens.

I'd also like the chance to try to get a few subordinates for the Imperium. There are a lot of useful Celestials up here even if their numbers are greatly diminished. For one thing, Therapy Archons.

Great we can have slave angels. Literally every evil gods wet dream. Yeah sure we can buy more celestials. Do we have the currency for it? Or better yet should we get their true names and summon said angels to us. Or is that a strictly devil thing?

Don't be salty (I assume you are salty by "slave angels"-comment)

We can summon any outsider and then (try to) diplomance it into serving us.
Next month's summoning list is about 50% that right now.

We are busying ourselves with True Names because... Well, it gets us to precisely pick out assholes that are danger to out plans or plane, instead of summoning them (assholes, I.e. devils, demons, daemons) all over the Creation.

I am not salty. You have seen me salty. As you guys already know I could not care about the whole "good" "evil" stitch. I am just irritated and tired. Mostly the latter. But I am looking forward to the meat grinder that you have made. So many sacrifices. The Old Gods will dine tonight.

It's not literally buying slaves so much as it is manumitting them, which is something we've done before. We need subordinates with their skills, they presumably need help in something or they wouldn't be selling themselves off (and in the case of being in the possession of devils it's probably best that we be the ones to buy their freedom).

I'm kind of hoping we can find a Monadic Deva we can convince to work for us. It's a longshot and will require a lot of luck, but my god that would be useful. It's immune to so many things.

I am all for buying angel freedom but what are we spending? Do we have money that would accept? Like would they accept Glass Scepters and Silk Notes? I doubt they would accept Imperial Marks...would they accept Imperial Marks? @Azel
 
Asked Azel over PM. Apparently we have some Great Brass Seals for spending money.

Alright that is good. Let's buy some slaves (to free). Also I had a peculiar idea a couple days ago and it is now coming to me with the whole dreams and stuff.

This has nothing to do with heaven but with the dreamlands idea.

For now we don't know what happens(we can ask when we have the time) but I was thinking that in the dreamlands there are all manner of creature who live there. Like I think there are a couple beings trapped here.

If we could convince, say a couple of them, to continue growing trees, sacrificing to our gods in exchange for maybe getting out or some other thing then we can have a group of people constantly growing the Old Gods power in the dreamlands.

Or we could have dreamland vassals who want to own tracts of lands there and the trees are protected by them and they are, in turn., protected by us.

Thoughts?

I really do want to start conquering the Dreamlands as well. The problem is we have yet to meet suitable vassals down there. I'm all for looking around for some, though.
