[QUOTE="wolff96, post: 11495, member: 342"] [B][/B] Which the demon was, of course, causing in the first place. :) Either that, or he wants something that exists in the town -- an artifact, or something along those lines -- that some member of the town brought back at some point. The demon would offer the talisman as something to ease the suffering of the hurt, sick, or dying. The talisman WOULD ease their suffering -- but it would also rapidly use up whatever life they had left. So the victim would have an easier passage (the priest is happy) but the souls (and their power) would go to the demon. The priest probably wouldn't figure out anything was wrong until his deity tapped him on the shoulder and told him something was up... There are any number of reasons that a demon would want souls or life energy -- my favorite would be something along the lines of waking up some kind of uber-demon that was long ago laid to rest... Then you've got lots of fun while your group tries to root out whoever is behind the attempt to release the main demon. [/QUOTE]
