Nether demon

The nether demon forms a rank of its own among demons. It has a level of ability of 20 and a Will of 14. Bound to service, it will reveal information about any dead person, answering up to three questions. The Black Magic spell Summon Nether Demon/Devil calls one.

Like all demons it hails from the Nether Realms: chaotic, evil, fond of tormenting and slaughtering the weak, and held in check only by the Hierarchy of Demons under Mephistopheles. Its summoner must be harsh, since any hesitation invites it to twist his orders; it shies at first from holy symbols, and lesser and greater demons must attack devils on sight. A flaw in the protective circle or triangle frees it to enslave or kill its summoner, and ordering more than its kind owes breaks the pact at once.
