He shouldn't have made it an open invitation in the first place. [Honestly, that detail sticks out to him quite a lot. Having it open to anyone who could reasonably claim to be death-related was never going to be a great idea.]

I'm familiar with that kind of danger. I'm not planning to do anything unnecessary, but I'm not going to stand aside if things start getting bad. [So it's entirely reliant on whether this demon turns out to be as malicious as advertised, and whether they act on it.]
