The tone of the campaign would be dark, and several "examples" would be made of low level NPCs to show the harshness of the setting. The PCs would meet a seemingly low level, innocuous NPC who needs their help and can provide valuable assistance/patronage. This NPC is a disguised imp or other devil who constantly sends the PCs on morally grey missions and provides subtly tainted rewards. The NPC would always provide good information and valuable items while other informants might provide incomplete or misleading information. As the PCs come to trust and rely on the devil they will rise in level, and eventually reach a point where, with a few clues, they could be brought to successfully investigate their patron and see how close they came to falling into the Hells. Or, more probably, they'll either attack the patron from the beginning or fail completely to realize its nature and waltz merrily into the claws of Asmodeus.BTW, I heard Screwtape was going to be made into a movie soon. I was horribly frustrated with Beowulf and Golden Compass, but, as the saying goes, "we live in hope."</blockquote>
