[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8190085, member: 42856"] He is claiming that his voice is i.m.p.e.r.c.e.p.t.i.b.l.e. The demons can't know the orders since they don't perceive them. Planar Binding adresses that "If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends." Since no orders were given (as [USER=7019463]@Hohige[/USER] insists that he stays i.m.p.e.r.c.e.p.t.i.b.l.e including when giving order so the target doesn't know about the order given) they just stand around. They can't report anything since they don't know who bound them. Which leads to this scene (with special thanks to Earth2Carnifex) Hektula: "My Lady, our effort to free you have revealed a new thread of the Prophecy..." Sul Khatesh: "Speak!" Hektula: "The draconic prophecy states that you could be freed from the Couatls' chains by embracing voluntary servitude in the hand of the vilest creature ever, a lowly sorcerer". Sul Khatesh: "I trust that you have immediately stopped investigating such a ludicrous chain of events, or should I appoint a new servant as my trusted prakhutu?" Hektula [I]quickly signing out a death insurance[/I]: "actually there is some merit to it. You've been imprisoned for millenia... Serving a creature for a few month will be quick. Sul Khatesh: "Have you identifed whom I am supposed to serve?" Hektula: "Actually, yes. He's enroute to this place because we conspired to give him two itineraries leading him to your palace." Sul Khatesh: "Two?" Hektula: "The first lacked pictures. He threw it away as saying it's booooring". Sul Khatesh: "You're not making a strong case for serving him, you know?" Hektula: "We couldn't find a decent Sorcerer... According to Alfred, whose knowledge was consulted through Contact Other Plane, 83% of sorcerers die by their own doing." Sul Khatesh: "And this one show promise?" Hektula: "Yes, I commanded all our servants to ignore him and feign that their truesight doesn't work. He thinks nobody can see or hear him, because he was quiet and stealthy for a few minutes after his last long rest, three days ago." Sul Khatesh: "I'll be his slave for 180 days you say? If that works I'll flay you slowly over 180 days." Hektula: "Please, My Lady, it may be your quickest hope... He seems to be affected by incoherent hatred toward Wizard, he might ask you to kill them all. So you could just destroy the world as you wish to do, claiming wizards as collateral damage." Sul Khatesh: "OK... Do we know why he's behaving like that? Hektula: "No one knows. I tried to question the knowledge of the Abyss...
