I’m running Descent into Avernus and I’m looking for some ideas for infernal bargains to tempt my players. I love the idea of getting a player hooked on small doses of power until they’re addicted, but I’m struggling with the carrot to offer, the stick to punish them, the mechanics for running the bargain, and coming up with unique enticements for my six players. In short, I’m struggling with everything. I’m not an experienced DM and my players are all new to the game.
My experience with offering PCs dubious bargains is... they usually won't bite, but sometimes they do, and it's hard to predict when they will. As such, I wouldn't put too much effort or planning into any given temptation -- just throw out lots of bait.
