the Demonologist

Testimonials

• "We don't talk about her here. Her whole family. Nuts. Take that name out of my house and leave me in peace."

  The baker's wife

  
  "Yeah? She tried to curse me once, left me bleedin' on the floor. Had to get me pa to help me up 'n' carry me home - was sick for weeks after that!"

  The baker's son

  
  "She hasn't successfully managed to summon a demon in all her years under my tutelage, and she simply hasn't improved in her studies - she's only good for small, menial tasks. Like washing the laundry. That's why we stopped telling her when the meetings were in the first place. Keeps her out of trouble, you know?"

  Demonologist Kutzak

  
  "She's a monster. She's a monster! I saw her! I saw that, that wicked child once an' I been havin' nightmares ever since! You hearin' me? She's a monster!"

  The crazy old beggar from down the road

  
  "I heard she got her own parents killed in some awful demon summoning mixup and that's why the demonologists won't speak to her anymore."

  The first and eldest Gredlin twin

  
  "Well I heard that she killed her parents herself - and ate them!"

  The second and fairer Gredlin twin

  
  "Sorry. I don't really know exactly who that is. It looks familiar, but... I just can't recall a name."

  Assistant librarian

  
  "She's not my daughter. But it is by my grace that she even lives, and it is by my grace that she owns the clothes on her back and the roof under which she lives, and for that I confess I must take responsibility as her legal guardian. Permanently."

  The High Father

  
  "Kind of a piece of shit, by human standards. By demon standards, too, actually. But, hey, she's kind of fun to be around even if she's completely the most depressing experience I've had yet. And that's saying something, because I was locked away in hell's dungeon for three millenia over some real estate."
