What is the Hivemind?

[devilish]

It's small and soft, I use it like a stuffed animal.

*shudders*

So, what kinds of deals could you make with a devil? Could I wish for thigns counter productive to Hell? Like, that X many people can't be accepted into the pit, or that Y demon is destroyed? Or would those be worth more than one soul?

The Economics of Hell... Sounds like a book waiting to happen.

- Kemrain the Innocent... Ish.. Its Relative...

Deals that can be made are any that support the current existential-architecture
of wherever the victi...I mean, applicant resides. In the earthly reality, you
could ask for fame, riches, etc. but not flames to come out of your eyes.
In the D&D reality, flaming eyes can be quite handy.

You could ask for counter-hellish things, keeping in mind that in most cases, the
economics would be against your favor --- you may save 100 people that deserve
the pit, only to find that your actions may cause 1000 people who don't deserve
it to end up in the pit. Likewise, demons/devils are expendable : removing a
demon would only cause another to take its place. These are 1 soul items.
Rare are the multi-soul items -- they do involve some major things that I can't
comprehend --- the closing of the gates for 7 years, for instance, but a devil
would only take that bargain knowing that there would be greater gains at
the end of the 7 years because of its actions.

As usual a question turns into a HM thread...the irony is thick.

Yes but oddly enough with all this disscussion of RP topics, it is verging on the edge of topic rather than OT muchless hivemind. Is there any thread that has ever escaped HM ?
thisone only split off a GD thread.

You caanot escape the Hivemind. Resistance is pointless. All will be assimilated.

without names, how do you tell them apart?

 

[Steve Jung]

Numbers? Can't tell apart without a lineup card.

I love Dretch
names, personalities, goals, and motivations.
All of them amazingly stupid.

I ran a fight with six dretch all of them having their own goals. Things like - not getting killed, finding out what was in PCs backpacks or containers (It turned out the PCs were carrying a large urn full of fish.) To get revenge on the paladin for a earlier defeat (even though there was no paladin in the party.) One dretch was the soul of a former PC (a secret worshiper of the demon lord Ebon Maw) He tried to convince a PC to let him eat the other characters, always calling her by an former characters name.

You have a name but I am not entirely sure you are really you and not some other random ooze that never leaves and is full of the wisdoms and the what not. How about you let me burn a symbol on you so I can make sure I know who you really are, and that way I get to play with the fire and the pain. Yay!

Sorry, immune to fire so nothing will actually burn into me. And that's Epic Ooze!!
