Open rape and murder and all those good, juicy non-Eric's Grandma safe things. Make sure your players know This Is Not A Good Place (TM).Secondly, keep in mind the demons would probably see the PCs at dirt, or less. True, they might get accidentally stepped on, eaten, digested, etc., the demons also aren't going to pay any particular attention to them.What I did, was I made the PCs envoys to a powerful Succubus-Matron. One PC had his spine broken, and wore something called Illustria's Brace. Basically, a wrought iron spinal brace with a glass bubble on the back, showing two chambers - one full of blood, one full of incredibly dangerous spiders. The PC also walked hunched over, and was in incredible fear of breaking the brace.But, in any case, they worked for her. And she had a weakness that she was making them save.So give them the protection of a Big Bad, but give the Big Bad a weakness they can keep it in check with.</blockquote>
