From: A Matter of Mortality with the Loquacious Vicar


If you hack a devil's head off and it dies, then you've proven something. If you hack its head off and it lives, then you've... not strictly proven they can't die. And someone will be terribly cross. Perhaps this isn't such a wonderful idea.

Success

A savage ambush

You follow one of the runtier devils [...]

It's a hard fight. [...] You stand over him, panting... and his flesh begins to crumple, like paper. [...]

The Vicar listens carefully. For once he's silent. "Unwise, [...] Here. Take these."


Failure

A savage end

You follow one of the runtier devils out of the Embassy [...]. You set upon him in a dark spot off Kidderghast Lane. [...] suddenly he has a long curved knife in either hand. It goes very badly for you after that.
