Mammon, biblical representation of greed, has sent us a DM. “A Modest Proposal”, in the demon’s own words: “The Mountebank must be indemnified against all outcomes.” As we wrestle with four other Archfiends for the spot left vacant by Lucifer’s recent disappearance, Mammon suggests not war but a contract. To secure his protection, all we need do is sign away any sole claim to the throne of Hell should we come out on top, Mammon suggests, before signing off with a nod to the old line about “death and taxes”. There is a surprising amount of the latter to be found in vision of Hell. More surprising still: this is a very good thing indeed.
