Balseraphs - "Lying is bad: we know that anyway, but a
Balseraph just proves it. Kids are really observant,
of course, so Liars have some problems keeping all
their lies straight around them. Show up these
demons, make them look ridiculous, and they won't be
nearly as dangerous to your kids."
Djinn - "They can be pretty easy to handle: they don't
want to bother with anything, so having a strong
defense right from the start will usually warn them
off. Keep them away from the playgrounds, though -
or, if nothing else works, try to get them to break an
Attunement ahead of the time. They can actually be
useful then, if they fail."
Calabim - "The only nice thing about facing a Calabite
is that, when they show up, the gloves come off
anyway. Go head-to-head with a clear conscience:
either they aren't going for a specific target, in
which case they can be 'persuaded' to go bother
somebody else, or else it was a battle to the death
anyway. Just try to keep them from taking it
personally."
Habbalah - "Test to destruction? Sure. Let's start
with you."
Lilim - "The only time we see these demons is when one
wants to do a little long-term planning. Remember to
make sure that your kids never take candy from
strangers, and then 'convince' the Tempters to go play
with adults. *Just* *never* *look* *into* *their*
*eyes*."
Shedim - "If they're in an adult, shoot them with the
largest weapon that you have and finish the job when
they go celestial. If they're in a kid, get a
Servitor of Dreams, Animals or the Sword that knows
the Song of Banishing, have them kick the Corrupter
out, *then* finish them off. Make it _hurt_ before
you kill it, though: make it scream and beg for mercy
before you rip it into little pieces and dance on
them. Make sure that you've taped the whole thing so
that you can send it to his friends. After a while,
they'll get the point."
Impudites - "Leeches, but ones that usually like to go
for adults. If you find one around your kids, well,
most Takers are scared of hitting humans. Threatening
to have a tide of twelve year olds swarm over them can
be funny - but make sure that they aren't working for
Death or the War first! Threats usually cause them to
move on: you won't always have to kill them."
Superiors
Andrealphus - "Go for the face, then for the throat.
In most civilized countries, the police will be very
understanding about someone 'accidentally' killing a
child molester when he's been caught in the act. If
there's no evidence, manufacture some, silly!"
Asmodeus - "They like to keep quiet, and don't want to
attract attention - besides, sometimes you and they
will have the same targets. By all means, let them
have first shot at a mutual annoyance. If you have to
kill one, try and make it look like a Renegade did
it."
Baal - "Usually, hurting kids is beneath them -
they're too busy trying to look good by attacking
Michael's forces. The exceptions will have to be
stamped on thoroughly, though: Trauma just isn't good
enough."
Beleth - "Hard to fight: this is one time where
getting in Servitors of Dreams is necessary. Luckily,
there usually isn't any evidence to cover up
afterwards."
Belial - "To them, kids are just part of the scenery
that they're trying to burn down. First priority is
to get your charges out of the line of fire. Once
that's taken care of, well, Gabriel's people just love
to meet up with a Servitor of Infernal Fire..."
Haagenti - "There are two types: the ones that like to
turn children into Gluttons, and the ones that like to
turn children into lunch. The first can be safely
vessel-killed; soul-death is too good for the second
type, but be generous and obliterate them anyway, with
Extreme Messiness."
Kobal - "His Servitors are - usually - more bad
examples than anything else. The best way to deal
with them is to show exactly how pitiful they really
are. Those that want to hurt kids as part of one of
their Jokes can be killed with near impunity,
thankfully: apparently, their Prince finds it
wonderfully ironic."
Kronos - "Dour, always looking over their shoulders,
and addicted to long-term thinking: they're dangerous
to have around. Get a Servitor of Destiny to advise
you on the best way to keep everything nice and
unsubtle. Remember, though, that everything is
personal to a Servitor of Fate: they have to succeed,
no matter what. They're more afraid of their boss
than you, so keep your kids far away from the
battlefield."
Lilith - "She's had a ... mixed ... impact on the
lives of children. Sometimes a servant of Freedom is
actually doing us a favor with whatever she's doing.
Evaluate them carefully, but don't ever assume that
they'll be consistently helpful."
Malphas - "Best to get them early, before they do too
much damage. NEVER LISTEN TO A WORD THAT THEY SAY!
They love to try to confuse us about our duties. If
you do listen, and end up thinking that they may have
a point about something, immediately go to Christopher
for reassignment. He'll understand."
Nybbas - "God, these guys make our lives more
difficult than anyone else in Hell. The best defense
against them is the off switch, really. Those showing
up in person usually have too many corporeal
connections to kill safely, but keep in mind that
their Prince will betray them in a second for better
ratings. If one has to be killed, call in War or
Stone or the Sword - Servitors of Laurence especially
enjoy smacking these demons around."
Saminga - "They hate children. We hate them, so it's
even. Don't even bother trying to scare them off
first before you kill them."
Valefor - "A bad example to trump all other bad
examples. Luckily, they don't stick around, so you're
better off just minimizing the damage that they do and
picking off the weaker members of the pack. Cops tend
to be understanding about corpses with violent
criminal records, especially if it looks like that
they got that way thanks to a botched kidnapping
attempt."
Vapula - "We only see them when they need test
subjects. Run them through their own experiment, take
lots of notes, and send them and the results back
(send anything useful along to Jean's people, of
course). Oddly enough, Vapula seems to think that
it's usually a fair trade."
