The dark PRINCE OF NIGHTMARES looms menacingly before you. Sworddog flees the premises, but you, being a brave Captain, stand fast and approach. Glaring into the demon’s soulless eyes, you draw your pre-written and ordered list of questions.

You take a step toward the monster and glare at her. “I didn’t call you here to serve your will, demon. I am a man of virtue and justice who has paid good money to summon you for answers. Answers you will provide me.”

“Then you’ve insolently wasted both our time,” she growls. “It is my day of summoning and I have deeds I need done, and countless loyal servants who would die for the chance to bask in my glory and spread my horrors across Mundus.
