[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7265262, member: 996"] You could have the devil polymorphed to look like the angel, or both of them polymorphed to look like something ambiguous. They then each tell you that they are an angel that was summoned into a room containing a fiend. The summoner left before setting either of them a task, and the fiend imitated the angel's form, trying to convince anyone who came by that it was the one that should be released. It's been doing that for so long, including keeping the guise up while alone with the real angel, that it many not even realize it's really the fiend anymore, or, at least, can't be sure (and the angel may have come to doubt itself, as well). Rather than hearkening back to the logic puzzle in Laybrinth, this could be resolved like Garth v Kirk in ST:TOS. After much discussion, the real angel, acting on it's half-forgotten benevolent nature, warns the party to just leave them both as there's no way to be sure which of them is the devil, while the devil sticks to the story of being the angel (or maybe asks the party to release them both in a final act of desperation).
