Ahahahah, excellent.

What? A foul creature of the Abyss! I must smite him!

Heh. I'm wondering what playing D&D with a Duke of Hell would be like now. Mr Welch and The Binder of Shame probably have nothing on a demon, but at least the other players are thirteen and therefore likely to find it funny.

True facts. *grin*

One of my friends made a comment about Hastur going ex-directory because of this business. One has to wonder if that's why his D&D counterpart does the thing with the monsters showing up instead ... "Beep. We are sorry, the demon you are trying to reach does not wish to be disturbed at this moment. In accordance with Infernal procedure, you will now be devoured by this byakhee. Have a nice day."

Gotta admit it's a pretty awkward weakness - as the kids point out, it must really suck being summoned from whatever it was you were doing and dropped into someone's room just because they happened to say the codeword. Presumably it doesn't work on other demons, or he could have caught Crowley pretty easily ...

Also, in future fics, I think Hastur needs a byakhee. I like byahkee. There's even a cheerful little song about them.

HAHAHAH this was funny and awesome! You made me almost feel sorry for Hastur. I loved it, thank you!

[chelonianmobile]

Yeah. Good thing he wasn't doing anything terribly important or embarrassing at the time he was summoned, isn't it? There are so many ways this could have been even worse.

I think I'm gonna have to draw this at some point. Also, I'd love to hear what other people think playing D&D with a demon would be like. I'm guessing The Binder of Shame has nothing on him.
