He sighed, before rubbing his forehead and horns. "So everyone believed a word coming out of a full demon's mouth? Really?"<br/><br/>He groaned, before shaking his head. "Need a wall. It will make my head hurt less.<br/><br/>First, yes, I am aware that 'certain points' have proven largely correct, but the best lies include several parts of truth, minimum two parts truth for each part lie, more is better.<br/><br/>Second, best way to lose any plan is to announce it to the world and then scatter about causing random and purposeless mayhem and destruction, pulling in the attention of adventurers who are known for disrupting even the most fool proof plans.<br/><br/>Third, there are several ways to get that sort of protection that I can think of off the top of my head, details not memorized. Most are rituals, that require only tiny bits of a subject and a preserve corpse spell, not a full living body though that would help.<br/><br/>Conclusion: I severely doubt that ancient demons in on a plan to replace a demon god would go about blithely announcing it to every mortal that crossed their path, ESPECIALLY when that might include beings that revere or worship said god. Therefore, I call the announced plan a fake, to divert attention for the actual one, until further information is acquired."<br/><br/>He took a deep breath, before letting it out in a whoosh, before looking at his captors. "What? I was taught critical thinking and planning by a cleric of Iomedae."
