Message: <blockquote data-quote="MerakSpielman" data-source="post: 1312558" data-attributes="member: 7464">This is how I would do it:  He was under duress. He did not, in fact, sell his soul to the Erinyes. She just convinced him that he did, and struck a deal with him to "get it back."  You have to understand, when dealing with devils, you can't trust a single thing they say. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> He currently does not register as either good or evil, since he is at the crux of a moral dillema that will ultimately nudge him one way or the other. The dagger is the temptation. By killing with the dagger, knowing that he's sending a soul to damnation, he actually turns evil and places his soul in jepardy. In this case, when he dies his soul will go to the same place he voluntarily sent the others. After all, killing people for the sole, selfish reason to regain your own soul is evil, no matter how you cut it. Those BoVD "extras" are just icing on the web of lies. He's evil if he uses the dagger, no matter how he goes about it. If, on the other hand, he refrains from using the dagger, making the decision that he would rather lose his own soul than consign even a single evil person to damnation, then the onus is lifted and he becomes good again. If he was really thinking about it, he'd know he still has his soul, since he's a) still alive - not dead or undead, and b) still capable of making conscious decisions about things like morality. I'm assuming that he has no indication that his soul is gone other than the word of an Erinyes.</blockquote>
