"Extreme priority question, moderate urgency.  This deals in what are now, I guess, my previous plans, which Carissa Sevar has not yet been read in on, so don't mention info about that in front of her."

"In the version of the story where only Asmodeus has Rovagug's key, instead of all the gods who cooperated to seal Rovagug, there was a supposed prophecy about some threat that Asmodeus would let out Rovagug to consume, hoping Rovagug would consume the threat, instead Rovagug consumes everything."

"This obviously makes no sense and it would make more sense if the prophecy was about Asmodeus facing a decision-theoretic threat such that Asmodeus's reply was 'die in a fire'.  Asmodeus, not the other gods, because Asmodeus has more pride than other gods and will burn down more branches of reality in which some other god would accept making a concession."

"Carissa, who knows a lot more about Asmodeanism than either of us, worries that if I corner Asmodeus he'll release Rovagug."

"I'm not authorizing you to reveal my prior plans to the general Church of Iomedae over this.  But if you have reason to believe that's not going to happen, given the plans I previously had, I need to know about it.  Presumably Iomedae already had plans for cornering or extinguishing Asmodeus without Rovagug getting released as a result.  Can you find out how that would work?  Is it evidently something that would apply only to Iomedae or not to me?  Is it something that would evidently apply to both Her plan and mine?"
