A plane of minions without a master, lacking in ambition. No authority to lead, no strength to claim rulership over dissenters, merely hiding in their caves from the weather beyond. There will be much fear there, I can make use of this. You say there are no rulers, but the only thing that an Abyssal native will respect is strength. Who are the strongest of this city, those none dare challenge even if they do not claim official rulership?</em><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>"Let's see. Well, first off, there's Chemak the Recruiter. He's a molydeus that uses the strongholds on the plane as his primary source of conscripts for the Blood War. He won't be too happy about anybody coming in and trying to command the place for their own ends. <br/><br/>Then there's the Marilith sisters... Elayru and Oneths... about the toughest ones you'll find in the city. Again, they don't try to rule, but they are the one with the most weight to throw around." </strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>At this point the Gambler spoke up. "Mind you, none of these are places you could just waltz in and beat up a few demons. Even if you had an army, you'd need more resources than that. If you find yourself needing jink, weapons, or dare I say, an artifact perhaps... I have some things you might be interested in. And they'd be yours... if you're up for a friendly wager."<br/><br/>"No one here wants to play Deck with you, Jannatha," snapped Robin.<br/><br/>"I suppose you're right. No one's lucky, or daring, as I am... still. I run a casino on Pandemonium called Luckhouse-- where cheating isn't just allowed, it's encouraged. We have a lot of rich planar folks that drop by... pit fighting's been popular lately. Maybe if you have henchfolk of the fighting sort, you put them in the ring and bet on them to win."<br/><br/>"Don't waste your time with her," said Robin. "You want a solid foundation for power from out of nowhere, you want to look at the prime material. Disgusting I know, but you get yourself a good cult going, and it's a start. If you're interested in *that*, then I might have leads for you. ."<br/><br/><br/>
