Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Amazing Dingo" data-source="post: 1781605" data-attributes="member: 23353">I was working out my campaign a little more, filling in the details before the game gets going, and decided to go with a handful of demons that had allied themselves with...well, anyway, one demon has been trapped beneath a noble manor house now for over 500 years but has managed to weaken his cage enough to communicate with the inhabitants.  (Yoinked from PirateCat's SH)To throw my own twist in here, he has managed to enlist the services of several other minor demons (quasits and some succubi) to act as spies and, for his future plans, thieves. By the way, I like to give themes to my demons and decided to make him a demon of hunger and starvation.So, here he is pretending to be an angel of a god and giving the noble information his spies have been culling in order to gain the noble's trust and also to give him something to do (500+ years is not long for a demon, but evil he has to want to do something after a while).  This noble, from that help, has managed to wiggle himself and his proxies into position of power into this mercantile/capitalism based city that is LN as a whole.  Now, here is where the thieves come in.  The demon has them begin to sneak into the vaults and banks of merchants and individuals and exchanging their money.  Instead of simply taking the money, the thieves are exchanging the money with tarnished gold pieces with the face of a jester (a tilt of my hat to Cauldron and Batman's Joker for this theme).  The problem begins in that the mayor (the noble who is unaware of his "angle's" true nature or plans) issues an edict that none of these false coins are to be used to buy anything.  The rich won't suffer as much, but those poor people will.  And with a society based on a mercantilistic/Darwinian philosophy will be loathe to be "kind" enough to give away the food that the poor people are unable to purchase.There might be a few kinks in the plan (and if you notice any, please feel free to speak them out) but the main question about all this is this:Is a demon "lawful" enough to work out this plan and be patient enough to let it take effect?  Most of the upper level demons have at least a Wisdom of 14 (if one assumes that Wisdom has something to do with patience, which I do).  I think this would at least give a demon enough sense to know he has to set up plans but demons are inherintly chaotic and I think that takes importance over the Wisdom.  It is their very essence and what they are comprised of...I'm just wondering if they would have it in them to really set up a formulate an indepth plan (this one isn't too indepth of conniving...very straight forward, which might well be within a demon's scope).Anyway, you can see my internal problems here...anyone able to help?</blockquote>
