I talked to the demon again.
It gave me the dialogue option to say that I've already killed an innocent (don't remember where or when, but oh well I went with it anyway).
Maybe I'll get messed over later, but right now my Dwarven Fighter is wearing armor that puts his Constitution at 21 = regeneration anyone?
Now I just have to remember where I put Joril's axe. I think I sold it somewhere. Now it'll cost me a fortune to get it back. Oh well.
