[QUOTE="Orius, post: 1313296, member: 8863"] Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. He sold his soul, now wants it back and is going around murdering people and knowingly contributing to a plot to help the forces of Hell gain power on the Material Plane? I'd say he's already knowingly and willingly made the transition. He should at this point be considered evil. I know I'm repeating what others have said, but just because a person is killing is evil at the moment he kills them and they end up in Hell isn't a mitigating circumstance for the PC. If they weren't murdered, in your cosmology, would they still have a chance for redemption? If so, the PC is depriving them of that for a chance to save his own ass. And that is evil. Here's another idea for you: you mentioned these sould were destined for another devil's "inbox". If this PC commences on his unholy quest and send these souls to the erinyes, whatever devil or devils were destined to get those souls is/are not going to be happy. For example, the first guy owes his soul to a pit fiend. The PC kills this guy, and the erinyes gets his soul, that pit fiend is not going to be happy. He'll be thinking something like, "I spend decades corrupting that sob, and now this bitch thinks she can steal his soul from me?" If he starts using this dagger, there should be plenty of irate devils pissed at the PC, which will make for some very nice plot complications. None of these people he kills should be souls she's already going to get, after all, since she won't profit from that in the long run. Uh-oh. St Cuthbert would definitly approve of retribution against this guy. There's definitely some party fights coming up here! [/QUOTE]
