A demonic soul merchant is an agent from hell, sent to infiltrate humanity, and tempt them into damnation. Although demons cannot knowingly directly harm one another, they are typically at odds with one another, as they are all competing over the same limited resources.

It came from the burning pit!

It seems Nanotransen has accidentally hired a demon as a crewmember! It will go around offering deals in exchange for crewmember's souls, gaining power for every soul it controls, eventually causing hell itself to enter the station.

Demonic goals

A demon needs to have personal control over nine souls in order to ascend. Every three souls it absorbs will cause it to transform into a more demonic form, with additional powers.

Base form

This looks like a normal human or lizardman, and has access to Infernal Appearance, Summon Contract, and Summon Pitchfork.

Infernal humanoid form

This form looks like a dark red Lizardman, of a slightly darker shade than is normally possible. It has access to Infernal Appearance, Summon Contract, Summon Pitchfork, and sintouch.

Lesser Demon form

This nine foot figure is obviously infernal in nature, and is too large to carry most human sized clothing. It has access to Greater Infernal Appearance, Summon Contract, Summon Pitchfork, sintouch and Hellfire.

Archdemon

The demon has achieved the pinnicle of infernal power, and is now unstoppable. Crew are advised to flee the station should one appear. Not even returning the souls to those it has purchased can weaken it.

Demonic Weaknesses

Demons are not without their weaknesses however. All demons are unable to knowingly directly harm another demon, though it is common for demons to skirt this restriction through third parties.

All demons have one ban, one bane, and one obligation. The ban is something the demon absolutely cannot do. The obligation is something the demon must always do, and the bane is a physical weakness of the demon.

Help, a demon is on the station, what do?

As a crewmember, your first and most important objective is preventing the demon from ascending. There are three primary ways to do this.

Preventing contracts from getting signed

A demon cannot cross blessed areas while incorporeal, and areas can be blessed by spraying holy water on them. This will severely limit the demon's mobility. Also remember, contracts can only be willingly signed, perhaps you can convince the crew to not sign them?

Buying souls back

The lawyer (or HoP in a pinch) can buy souls back by politely reminding the crewmember that their soul was previously purchased by nanotransen. The contracts are stored inside the filing cabinet in the Lawyer's office, and automatically bluespaced into the cabinet. The employment contracts can also be copied in a copy machine, and the copies have all the force and effect of the original.

Killing the demon

The librarian starts with a copy of the demonomicon in his office. This book can be used to research the demon's weakness, if you can find the demon's true name. The demon's true name is written on every contract he creates. Note that delving into the demonomicon can allow sins to influence your thoughts, and extended reading is not reccomended. Note that crew members other than the librarian have a chance at getting wrong info out of the demonomicon. Brain damage also increases the chance of getting wrong info.

Once you have researched the demon's weaknesses, you can use those against the demon. Note that once the demon is killed, if the banishment ritual described in the demonomicon isn't performed, the demon can resurrect several minutes later in a new body, provided the demon has enough souls. If you cannot perform the banishment ritual, you can instead simply repeatedly kill the demon, until he is no longer powerful enough to return.

PS: keep the demonomicon out of the clown's hands.
