Melody's report to the Tower.

Ducks. ...... Thousands of them. And pouring out of this one alley. I thought this was an attempt to solve the food shortage until it was realised that these ducks were illusionary - and the noise. It was enough to drive one quackers from the quack-kophony. Or phony quackery. Whatever.

Going into the alley we dicovered a fountain of ducks pouring out of the sewer grate. Descending, we discovered a summoner had summoned a demon who was obviously creating these ducks for it's amusement. the poor summoner was pleading for it to stop but the demon was either not hearing or completely ignoring the poor girl. So, several members or our party sprang into the attack on the demon who was forced to protect itself with a barrier of lemeurs. Didn't help though, the demon was swiftly dispatched. And that was when the shouting started between the paladin and another arcanist which nearly turned into blows when it was discovered that he had summoned the lemeurs.

It turned out that the summoner had summoned the demon in order to gain power (( cheating in my opinion )) and the demon said 'I couldn't give a duck. She then retorted something about a million ducks and that's when it all started. This is why one should never try to make a deal with a demon. They're chaos and evil so they'll twist your words for their own amusement. Still, after thinking about it a while, it could have been worse, much much worse.

The guards were summoned, by regular means, and they took the rather tearful and repentant summoner into custody.

There's still one thing I don't understand though. Why does everyone summon demons? Are they easier to summon than ... say .... celestials, azatas ... or other more .... good aligned outsiders? It's actually tempting to try and summon one to find out.
