Smile, Please!

This adventure is in a somewhat lighter vein than my earlier one set on the Marches: again, it's more outline than anything.

Primus: Vapula and Nybbas together have a wonderful idea. These nifty, new, Essence-slurping movie cameras will televise _REAL LIVE DEMON ACTION_ all the way down to Hell! Figures will soar! Watch your Prince's servitors kicking angelic ass and twisting human butt! Fun! Profits! Essence! Power!

Secundus: Someone gets wind of this on the Heavenly side. Perhaps Jean, via technology; perhaps the ArchDean, if you have her; perhaps anybody. The first impulse is to stop it, with maximum hobnailed boots.

Then somebody had a "clever" idea.

Let us, said this wise person, have an angelic team standing by, that they may defeat these demons on Hellwide TV before we utterly annihilate their little cameras. Two greenhouses with one stone.

Guess who's about to be volunteered? You got it.

(Alternatively, it happens in the PC's home city, by coincidence.)

Tertius: Well, all sorts of things can go wrong.

• Perhaps the demons are expecting the PCs, and the whole thing is a setup to televise _their_ downfall.
• Perhaps something very delicate is in the vicinity, and there must be much avoiding of this fragile object. "Throw that Calabim into my IOUniversity wall, and you will _regret_ it."
• Perhaps the supervisors of the PCs have their views about proper behaviour:
  • "No dishonourable behaviour."
  • "Try reasoning with them first."
  • "I want to see you fry those servitors of Belial."
  • "Hey, man, be cool."
• Perhaps the cameras will overload, explode, and necessitate the saving of innocents. A lot might happen.
• Perhaps it's all a diversion! (But for what?)

Anyhow, a seed. Feel free to play with it.
