#enough to supplement other (usually more useful) souls Asmodium would acquire

[soldsouls]

I do think that vaguely factored into how he went about filling his quota while running Luci’s Inferno. Kids were among those whose souls he wouldn’t ensnare nor would he allow parents / guardians to bargain them away. I mean once they hit like 14, he would be more inclined if they were persistent about it, but he was mostly targeting people in the 30+ range who were so down on their luck that eternal damnation wouldn’t be much worse by comparison. That’s not saying he didn’t ensnare other types of people in those 4 years. These were guidelines, not rules, and he wasn’t about to get incinerated for some stranger. But, that’s how he tried to go about it.
