Not only that, this demon isn't being tricky about it.  His terms are horrible.  Now if it seemed like a perfect deal w/no strings; you'd be suspicious, but you might think about it.  But this contract is obviously bogus.What Mortimer should do is wait for the plague to pass, take the healing potions, and when the clerics and builders get there, kill them all.  Then attack the other city immediately.  That way his alignment would switch to chaotic good instead of neutral. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> (also, you should try to work in a violin showdown)</blockquote>
