(Scars do not appear to be cause of death –shock ... - Bad Request

"How did you escape?"
"The baatezu are a proud species. The thought that a tanar'ri could best

proudest of the balor to a contest of improvisation, and my tanar'ri nature
afforded me an advantage - you see, the tanar'ri are creatures of chaos, wild

known. I have learned it is a…difficult thing to turn on one's nature."
"Are you all right?"
She smiled, very faintly, and she met my gaze. "Yes... you are kind to ask.
The pain still makes itself known, but I came to terms with my nature many
