Harvester Devil

Devil of Guile and Temptation

With a name that hints at their skill at gathering souls for the Nine Hells, harvester devils are smooth-talking creatures that resemble tieflings. Also known as falxugons among the ranks of the Nine Hells, harvester devils have short horns and expressive tails. Most harvester devils dress in flattering finery. They promise wealth or influence to corruptible mortals, often securing a deal with a contract they produce in a flash of brimstone. This contract binds the mortal signatory's soul to the Nine Hells.

Harvester devils' contracts are lengthy and convoluted, but these devils are quick to make deals and might leave loopholes that can save a signatory's soul. Roll on or choose a result from the Contract Loopholes table to inspire a loophole an astute reader might discover.

Unfortunately, finding these dandyish devils' contractual loopholes is not nearly as much fun as I had hoped.
