[QUOTE="Belzbet, post: 6162907, member: 6678902"] The first thing any devil would do is try to gain dominance over any force more powerful than it (if they themselves cannot gain dominance then maybe they would abandon this project since dominance is king to a devil, no mortal will control a devil, if it has something to say about it, only other devils have that kind of control over other devils; BUT that doesnt mean the devil WONT ACT like others have control over it)... It could act weak and wait for the moment to strike.. Or it could take the creature out by force... Or whatever... After the devil is the strongest creature in its sphere of influence it would try to establish order (this could seem GOOD at first but really it is a device to gain power and control)... More laws would be created, more police would be appointed, the devil would not allow anyone unloyal to it to make decisions (this is why the PC's may pose a problem)... Also the devil COULD seem very nice and good REMEMBER THIS... also devils are most concerned with control or what have you NOT chaos... They WILL and CAN act like the benevolent dictator... Roleplay it that the new king/queen/ruler (really a devil in disguise) has actually HELPED the city/town/area/etc (devils will try to act nice to gain the upper hand)... mind flayers mean nothing to devils aside from the souls they can harvest from them; the devils will try to manipulate and take control of the mind flayers....
