And I wholeheartedly agree that villians should be played intelligent, especially when you have one that is probably on a Genius level of intelligence.What I would do is prioritize the goals for your demon prince. The way I see it, he wants to a) get the final piece for his ascendancy, b) stop the PCs who pose a threat to his rule, c) squash this Arch-Devil who dares to oppose him, and d) maybe subjugate the rest of the land.Were I an evil Demon Prince (muhahahah), I would spend some time raising armies of lesser beings. They could ransack the land and also search about for this final piece. Yes, it's a bit Tolkienesque, but it makes sense and can be very oppressive. Your PCs sound high level, so this could be interesting. I recommend checking out Sepulchrave's 'Rape of Morne' story hour for some excellent accounts of high-level characters taking on armies.The Prince could try to goad the heroes into a trap by threatening something they hold dear, like a town of innocents they have saved before.</blockquote>
