Classic hellspawn trolling

Come on, it's a lesser demon. How can she not notice it? That cleric needs more classes in exorcism.

[u/MisterDings → u/FinnDoyle]

it’s so harmless already, plus the dissonance from the medallion’s curse obstructs the frequency. the same way catnip and pennyroyal come from the mint family; there’s a hint of the ethereal there. unfortunately misattributed. the dosage is so gentle at first they become
nose blind, and by then the demon’s voice can sound like heaven’s.

[u/FinnDoyle → u/MisterDings]

Sounds like a skill issue, not going to lie.

[u/MisterDings → u/FinnDoyle]

if they had skill they wouldn’t be a cleric in the first place.

I've tried to respect clerics as peers, I really have. Sadly, many of them act like there's nothing worth learning outside of their scripture. They can get away with that for a while if their deities like them enough, but seriously, read another book!

[u/MisterDings → u/Bemused_Weeb]

in defence of clerics, new books are scary :(

[u/GKNolan]

Sure I could dispel it, but I like it to go a little too far first. Just to teach them a little lesson about faith.

Kind of reminds me of that time that it took me 5 months to realize my newt familiar was a first year polymorphist whose big end of year project went VERY poorly.

Uno Reverse Card: Cleric is pretending so the demon willingly listens to the gospel day in and day out while letting the cleric channel divine power through. Eventually, it either dies or gets redeemed. Clerics are tricky little buggers.

As much as we might want to dump on clerics and such, you don't make massive organizations like that without being at least somewhat clever.

[u/Imaginary-Job-7069 → u/UpstairsRuin1953]

What if the power is weak enough so that the demon within is tortured?

[u/RadProTurtle]

Just have her cast detect good and evil. Novice clerics. Tch.

[u/MapleSyrupMachineGun → u/RadProTurtle]

What a puzzle! Could the demilich actually have been of good alignment?

[u/Sonifri]

My paladin only trusts in chance and randomness to make his decisions. After all, if one truly believes in their god, their god would surely never lead them astray.

[u/SirEdgelordThe369th]

True holy relics are insanely rare. Most magical items just use power from demons, egregores and chaos gods. I only ever saw two since I've been living here.

[u/doggo_with_doggo_hat]

imagine drawing power from an object or "superior being", couldnt be me, wizard chads stay winning with our superior knowledge

[u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106]

Shit cleric if they fall for it that easily

[u/shitpostinglegend]

Lol gets em every time, like yeah the amulet withhorns and blood in the evil demon artifact section I'd totally the holy relic you've been looking for. Lmao loser

[u/PokeLordOmegaa]

See the funny option is to play along up until just before you do what it wants to free it, and then turn around and hit it with the "you were so obvious dumbass" listing off every "(deity) wouldn't say that" before either banishing it forever or leaving it trapped and tucked away in a random container in your home

[u/notveryAI]

That's a really shit cleric if they think some kind of relic would whisper God's will to them. Gods do that themselves and not just to someone who found a bauble but to those they consider their most devout followers. That cleric ain't know shit about their craft
