When possible, hire anything but devils. My rates are reasonable, my skillset self-evident upon meeting, and my morals tied to a simple rule of not backstabbing an active employer.
And so it is written:
The Bodyguard shall betray the Body;
And the Body will avenge itself on the Bodyguard;
Woe unto the Bodyguard, for thy own Body is forfeit.
And in the end the burgesses passed that remarkable law which is told of by traders in Hatheg and discussed by travellers in Nir; namely, that in Ulthar no man may kill a cat.
108 Reaver Full Of Heresy Who Defies The Will of Fate
Lo! Brother Maxwell, formerly of the Count of 99999, did find himself tired and in dire need of rest, for he had been running as fast as he could. At first it was so he could be at his God’s side, for he knew by his ever-climbing Count, that something terrible was going on. But now he had been running for fear of mimics, who had dogged him through a particularly open room for over an hour. This was because his fellow Accountants had sealed the secret ways by which the Priests of the Count quickly traversed the Holy Vault, as a form of a practical joke, in which the “practical” part was to have him disposed of so that the next hopeful initiate could be thrown under the proverbial bus. After all, if they could not survive the Vault, what right did they have to its Holiness? Not that many could survive it on their own, what with the Vault’s defenses designed to kill beings of considerable power, and those that made it through, upon joining the Priests, deliberately strengthened the areas they themselves used for ingress. And so did Brother Maxwell begin to despair, for he had a long way to go till he could answer his God’s call, for he was very dutiful in his cleaning, and he had cleaned very, very deeply.
Hrmm… does that bring the double-cross betrayal count up to 7 now?
I have to wonder what’s in it for Xand / Nxor. I mean, if they ditch everyone else, they don’t end up with any more treasure. I would think the better plan would be to let them all on board with their bags of loot and then arrange for an “accident” to happen to them in their sleep.
And now the most charismatic devils of our crew are having a stand-off. What a shame.
For Yog-Sothoth’s sake, let Cat Master live.
PS. Hmm, isn’t it sort of simbolic or something? Suuz and 1-11 – introduced on the same page, slayed among the first. Xand and Cat Master – introduced on the next page …
noooooo the cat must survive!

Tuco would say: When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.
if the cat lover dies i will have vengeance
And so it is written:
The Bodyguard shall betray the Body;
And the Body will avenge itself on the Bodyguard;
Woe unto the Bodyguard, for thy own Body is forfeit.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT CAT MASTER D:
To be honest, really, not anyone. I’ve grown pretty attached to this bunch of bastards.
These betrayals are getting more pointless all the time.
who could have seen this coming???
Cat demon better not get a face full of lead 🙁
NO!!! THE CAT

bare hoofed gold skiing without a life jacket. Safety first! (I prefer Kevlar)
The cat bearer must not die. Who will care for the kitties?
Xand, Nixor, no. Just no. Look at that adorable kitty derpface. You don’t want to disappoint the kitty.
Besides, the fanbase will reach through the internet, split the heavens and turn you two inside-out if you mess with the kitties.
Cat’s expression in frame 4 is gold. 😀
Its important that they be the first to spend that coin, this currency is about to become worthless.
