"Probably? If I can, like, see them? I should possibly set up a very destructive deadman switch..."

"Additionally, a lot of powerful demons also have the mind-control spell that works on outsiders. You may be better off conducting all your anti-Worldwound operations from outside Dominate range—less than 200 feet, even for an exceptionally powerful outsider."

"No problem, I can see the Worldwound from space."

"...could you kill Deskari? I'm not sure that would just close it but it would definitely make it easier to close. I don't think He's ever actually crossed over onto Golarion but it seems possible, if you can kill Him from space, it might be worth trying to draw Him out."

"The thing I would do if I were trying to kill someone would be to -" He produces an illustrative tomato. He interpolates it down to the cellular level with a similar mass of air. Air like they have in Cheliax. "If they are specifically in the Worldwound I also have creative explosion options. Or Carissa can let me do more stuff."

"Surviving that isn't among the known capabilities of demon lords although possibly it isn't known on account of no one having that ability. Hypothetically, if you were unbound, what's the most destructive thing you could conjure? Just to get an idea of our options here."

"A black hole. I can't do that right now but kind of only on a technicality, a black hole is extremely dense matter and it doesn't matter much what kind, that will gravitationally draw other things toward it. Like a dark star the size of your head. I shouldn't do this anywhere on an inhabited planet."

"I was imagining doing it in the Abyss but I have no idea what the effects of that on Golarion would be—and also the way gravity works in the Abyss is generally 'however the local demon lord wants it to' so perhaps it would not even work."

"If you can assassinate Areelu Vorlesh you should do that. I'll provide all the information we have on her—although perhaps your conjuration will work even better for that. Bigger plans than that should probably be run by us first, and in the meantime we need to discuss security arrangements for you and your summoner."

Peanut gallery, when someone has a minute they could research Areelu Vorlesh. "Especially since if we actually render the Worldwound treaty moot her countrymen will, I am given to understand, immediately murder her."

"Ideally we would have her transfer negotiating authority to us and then go hang out in Heaven for a while, but in the spirit of cooperation we're not going to compel that, and we're open to alternative arrangements."

He turns to Carissa. "Of course, we can get you an Atonement, in case Cheliax does get to you. You're actually the first non-soul-sold person I've encountered in some time who's successfully left Cheliax and not immediately begged us for one."

"I'm not actually sure she can transfer negotiating authority except in the sense that if she told me to do whatever I want then it would no longer be important who had that authority."

"I would contemplate giving temporary permissions by Telepathic Bond from safety. ...I don't care that much about an Atonement. If they do get to me they'll presumably Maledict me anyway. Also, I'm not, in fact, obsessed with avoiding Hell and only realized belatedly that everyone on all sides was acting on the assumption I was. I've met devils. They seem cool. I am willing to entertain your argument for why I should prefer being Heaven's but I can't say I'm expecting to be persuaded."

"I do think someone should have that conversation with you, at some point. We can hardly force you to Atone, it's just—I would hate to see anyone with a choice go to Hell, because I don't have that choice. Though I am working on it."

"Do you at least recognize your incentive not to return to Cheliax voluntarily?"

"I'm not that much of an idiot. I'm not reliably enough theirs they could afford to ever let me take actions again, and Cam's probably not usable by them at all unless they can get a Dominate Monster out of Razmir; they'll probably just kill me, if they don't have some way to use him, and kill me once they have a sufficient advantage out of having used him, if they do. I'm planning to stay away, and stay working on the Worldwound. You don't have to convince me that's in my interests.

I would take some convincing it's in my interests to give my homeland's enemies the weapons to destroy them."

Is Hell your homeland? he does not ask, because one does not become the spymaster of Lastwall by revealing intentions like that for the sake of a witty reply.

"We do not intend to destroy Cheliax," he says, "only to free it from Hell's tyranny. I think this is—somewhat obviously in your interests, and you merely require convincing that it is possible and not inevitably going to make things worse for everyone involved. Which unfortunately I cannot do while there is a chance that any of the information I might give you, in doing that, might make it back to Chelish ears."

"I'm sure you have in mind some totally nondestructive method of freeing Cheliax. Anyway, I'll accept Lastwall's help staying alive, I won't give you diamonds, other matters are negotiable."

"In our estimation you would be safest in Heaven. It would be very, very difficult for an Evil caster to Wish-kidnap you from there. It has the disadvantage that a Telepathic Bond could not reach Cam while he's here on the Material, but there are other methods of communication—incidentally, Cam, is there any way I can communicate with you at a distance that any apsel can't trivially conjure? Assume that I am reluctant but not necessarily unwilling to have anything implanted in my brain."

"Why Heaven and not Axis, because Axis will charge and Heaven is offering for free? I can pay Axis, and they're going to be putting a lot less effort into manipulating me."

"If you want the brain computer you can encrypt things so that I can decrypt them and nobody else can. Otherwise your options are security-by-obscurity or anything too magic to conjure. I can take instructions from Carissa in writing, if she writes them from Heaven - or Axis, if she can be made safe in Axis - but it introduces some delay and makes it harder for me to explain what I want to her with the cunning use of videos about crabs."

To Carissa—"I expect it would be within the power of someone in Axis to protect you, if you paid them well enough, and—well, payment should not be any object."

To Cam—"You may make me a 'brain computer', with your summoner's permission, if it will not affect my health or mental processes in any way. I would like her to have one as well, if she consents."

"The technical term is 'chiplock'. If you have a rare allergy or something I cannot guarantee it will not affect you in any way. It won't hurt, almost everyone who has one loves it, you will need to spend some time training it to respond to your thoughts, and almost none of the software is in any languages you speak and Comprehend Langauges will not actually be a panacea for that."

"Can it be removed, if it does turn out to have unforseen effects?"

"It is difficult but not impossible to safely remove one from a human. - in situations without magical healing, maybe you can have somebody grab it out of your skull by magic and be fine after a channeled energy is flung in your direction, I wouldn't know. I have been to medical school and am qualified to attempt it the nonmagical way but I would need equipment I am not currently at liberty to conjure."

"I don't actually trust Cam and am not granting him additional permissions to do brain surgery at this time."

"I want to point out that I did not actually ever agree not to write letters to third parties and that if I had this would in fact have meant something to me."
