I ran a oneshot of Sibylla's excellent Devil Devil Devil. Christmas themed!
Rural Sweden,
19th century...
The devils - let’s call them Wrath, Gluttony, and Pride - woke up
in the crypt of a church on early Christmas morning. The sexton came in to
prepare for the morning service. Wrath quickly tempted him into giving up his
soul to become a priest. She also convinced him to become pregnant with a
quickly growing cambion.
Gluttony
went to the nearby village to find more souls. Got a couple but realized mot
people had gone to church, so needed to get back there quickly. Bent the wish
for food from a mother with starving children, so their house - with Gluttony
inside - flew away, landed next to the church and transformed into a well-stocked manor.
The
service begun. Pride had convinced the sexton-turned-priest to emphasise the “twelve-horned
angel” in his Christmas sermon (Pride had twelve horns). Gluttony was sitting
with the congregation enjoying the show. Wrath decided it was time for some
chaos and incited rage in all mortals present. A battle royale broke out in the
pews. The man sitting next to Gluttony came at him with a punch. Gluttony
decided to dodge the attack in most extra way possible: by enlarging the entire
church to three times its size. This enlarged the pew as well, moving Gluttony’s
attacker away from him, so their swing missed!
Wrath
got a couple of quick souls by selling strength to two women fighting each
other. One got massive arm muscles, the other got massive leg muscles.
The
priest ran down from the altar to fight, but suddenly started going into labor.
Wrath went to help him out and roped the other devils in as well.
The
enlarged church was unable to support its own weight, and started to creak. Not
wanting to lose all the souls inside, Wrath created a couple of doppelgangers
of herself. Two Wraths got the priest to safety through a side exit and did
their best as midwives. The third ran down the middle of the church,
challenging everyone to fight her outside!
The
congregation charged after her into the churchyard. Wrath used a devilish trick
to reopen their old scars, causing most of the fighters to topple over in pain.
The lady with the enlarged arm muscles was still going, though. She came at
Wrath with an overpowered punch, sending Wrath flying out of the churchyard,
across the road, into the forest, through a couple of trees, and skidding to a
halt in the snow. Ouch.
Meanwhile
the other devils had overseen the birth of Wrath’s cambion, a beautiful little
girl. They (including Wrath’s doppelgangers) went up to the now badly wounded
congregation, healing their wounds for the low low price of their eternal
souls. The church collapsed. Fortunately everyone had made it outside.
Pride made
sure everyone knew the Twelve-Horned Angel had saved them from destruction.
Many were taken by his words and were convinced they had an agent of the Lord
among them.
Gluttony
had managed to save a triple-sized bottle of wine from the church, and
delivered it to the manor family as an extra Christmas present.
Wrath’s
daughter soon learned how to talk, and named herself “Church-Murderer”.

This game is so much fun. I recommend it.
