Swordtember2025 Day 14: #Trickster

Inganno Appuntito/Slice of Hand.

Not all thieves and scoundrels can manage to trick a devil without suffering the consequences of their boldness, much less an archdemon. The very few who have been able to pull off such an accomplishment can reap a substantial reward, oblivious to the deeper game of which they just became an unwitting pawn…

For the archdemons of the Sixth Hell, larceny and deception are the daily routine. To make things more interesting, they regularly gamble on how many spoils their servants can hoard within a certain amount of time while using their devilish tools and trinkets. Regardless of the outcome, the demons have their fun and tributes in gold, blood and souls, while the servants can keep part of their loot… if they’re still alive to enjoy it.
