The Book of Demons

Overview

A thief will try to pawn off a book on the party that has an entrapped demon bound in its pages.

Trigger

The women will try to sell the book to who ever wants to buy it. She will start by asking 10,000 for the book, but will go as low as 100. She wants to get some cash so she can leave the city. She will tell them that she found it in a vault in the sewer.

Description

While walking down the street you see what appears to be a women dressed in robes waving you over to the alley. Strung over her back is a bound leather sack.

Dm notes

The book does radiates a strong magic. Inside the book is a demon that has been trapped by a powerful wizard. When freed the demon can do one of two things. Perform an action for the PC's for freeing it, or it could be very pissed off and attack the PC's (This is left upto the DM) The demon will be freed by opening the book. The book is a heavy book with metal bindings, and a gold lock keeping it closed(12 gp). She will tell the party that it teaches you how to summon demons and control them.

Key

The wizard who is owner of the book is tracking the book. He sees the PC's with the books and will hunt them down. Or if the PC's let the demon go he will request that they capture it back.
