[QUOTE="nameless, post: 489581, member: 1543"] If he's in the abyss, and isn't a sage when it comes to Knowledge (Planes), he's probably mincemeat. Demons aren't too willing to talk, they'd rather stick you and play twister with your vitals. You might want to take a look at the old Planescape module "The Deva Spark." As a brief overview, the PCs accidentally end up in a demonic tavern on the Abyss. After getting to see the finer points of demon entertainment, a newly dead mortal soul comes running into the bar, looking panicked. He's folloed by a hungry bebelith, which promptly eats him. Here's where it gets interesting. There was a celestial who gave his angelic essence to a mortal of supreme goodness in order to masquerade as a demon, to spy for his god. The problem was, the mortal of supreme goodness was Chaotic Evil, and just happened to be on a good upswing at the time the deva saw him. He promptly died, carrying the essence to the abyss, just in time for an unlikely reunion between the deva (who is polymorphed in the bar) and his spark. When the bebelith kills the petitioner, it gets a hold of the spark too. The deva doesn't want that, but can't beat a bebelith in combat. He gets messed up trying to recover his spark, and needs the PCs (the paladin in this case) to help him. Of course, the bebelith won't make it easy, because the spark of pure goodness inside of it kind of warps its evil mind towards good. It's one of the few modules I ever ran for my players in 3E, and it's a great one. The only forseeable problem with it is that Planescape is much different in feel from all the other ways of mapping the planes. If you can, get a hold of the module though. It might be worth it just for a rough plot that you can trace. -nameless [/QUOTE]
