He's not exactly John COnstantine, y'know. You can't always deal with the devil and win.
Hey, you gotta have the token good guy who gets beaten. Otherwise its just too cheesy to be fun!

No, but when you deal him in for everything, you stack the deck, peek at his cards and have an ace up your sleeve.
If it makes y'all feel any better, there is a follow-up story in me archives.
Ooooh, a follow up! Continueing the tale would be great!
yeah, I can't wait for the follow up as well! Where, where?
Quick question. If you changed the ending for us did you just write the followup? Or is it based on the prior ending with the aforementioned bargain?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Let's just say I think it makes the character a bit more interesting down the line.
I still want to read the un-editted version. Although I am glad that the mere mortal lost to the immeasureably powerful timelessly old spirit (Both assumptions, and probably wrong, but they fit the devil motif). I hate to see the young bloods outsmart the old folk.
If any of you have read The Master and Margarita, the devil should always win.

But what if I wanted a two dimensional character? Huh?
Oh yeah, its your character.
Either way, I look forward to it.
You ever read Shapcano's fictions? The demonhand guy? Struggles all the time with control, and it makes for a very interesting character..
I like the ending but... I don't see why the Bone Cage was used besides for horror value. As I understand it, it basically traps the spirit inside the person's body, even if he dies. Seems like too big a disadvantage for very few (if any?) advantages.
Hidden life effect?
Well, this might be giving something away...the spirit is hiding. This particular variant of the Cage of Bone lets it conceal itself within the aura of the human host.
AH HA! I new it!
Or I guessed and got lucky. Whichever.
Either way, IIRC the hidden life spirit effect doesn't work that way.

We're not talking about Hidden Life. Yet. It's just built a little place to hide inside his rib cage.
Sounds like fun, can I have one?

I'm all for fashion surgery, but where are you going to get a spirit in this day and age?

Find me a spike baby and an unaspected power site and I'll see what I can do. Seriously, I'd kill for you.
And you know no one reads the disclaimers! But at least you can't be sued over it now.
