[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1363423, member: 4910"] Two points: 1) Don't let them know they're performing the service. Have them be given an item that needs to be placed in the care of Important NPC X or given as a gift/offering/oblation to Worldly Infulential NPC Y. The person who gives them the item to transport seems completely above-board and in no way connected to Nerull. 2) Have the service be innocent now, but disasterous later. Say the item in the above example is in fact inhabited by a demon in Nerull's service that has some levels in Fiend of Possession. Said fiend is possessing the object and has a good hide check so it can slip by things like detect evil and such without notice. Once the item has been delivered to it's recipient, the fiend waits for a while (to give the penalty to save vs possession later to the target), then possesses the person. Again the fiend bides its time, only attempting to take control when the person is asleep, and just hanging out in observer mode when the person is conscious. If you want to be really evil (and ... it's Nerull, so you be) also give the baddie levels in Master of Shrouds. Night falls, the possessed person stalks about the castle, demon at the helm, summoning shadows, wraiths, spectres and the like and turning the hapless residents into like kinds of undead while they slumber. I mean honestly, how many attacks would it take to turn a cook or a chamber maid into a specter once you've got the drop on her? These events, of course, only happen once the PCs are well and far away. Completely unaware of their going on. Nerull says thanks. (edit: fixed some spelling type errors) [/QUOTE]
