Of course it is... Assuming that you can always maintain line of sight, are more or less concentrating what it is up to that very instant. It too can communicate with you, your party members, and the opposition, sowing the greatest amount of anarchy and destruction. Making snide comments as to the prowess of the fighter, revealing that certain party members did vile deeds with the opposition's mother (causing them to concentrate their attacks on a certain party member), Talking about what your sister was doing with whom, while you were digging gold from the dragon's lair...Of course that method of communicating will be severly limited in a silence... Giving ample opportunity for "misinterpretation" of original commands...Truth can be such a subjective, elusive and expansive area, that the "whole truth" would leave the demon babbling for twenty minutes trying to explain ALL the details, to a far greater degree than you desired, with the effect that you learn nothing of what you desired to know, and much that is harmful for your sanity.If 20 people witness an accident, their will be 20 different versions of what exactly happened, each convinced that it ws the truth. Which one is? Are you going to rely on what the Demon regards as the truth in this matter?20 people examine a painting. ½ of them think the painting is tripe, ½ think it is a masterpiece. Is the artist a great artist or a disgrace to the artistic world?So many of our words are value-loaded that it becomes almost impossible to talk about truth.It is also possible for the Demon to blather and distract you from your true line of questioning. Giving answers that lead the questions away from what you really seek. Giving the truth, just slightly bent... Demons are really not worth dealing with, IMC, You can guarantee they are trying to get you to to trip, trying to set you up, in a myriad of ways. From stroking your ego, to deflating your friends, undermining your alliances, all the while giving you exactly what you asked for...</blockquote>
