The offer

You can hardly believe you said it, but the fact is you have very few options at this point. Fred is too scared to even speak, Albert is just a block of muscle, and even if he could move, you doubt he could do anything to actually hurt this thing. And without whatever instruction there were to attempt to send this thing back to hell, you stand little chance in your state.

"A deal?" says the Frog, "Well, you know what I want. What exactly are you expecting from me?" He examines you carefully, as if peering into your soul. "Obviously some... solution to your current state. " he says distastefully, as if the words were sour, "Such an utter travisty to destroy something so... rare and delectable." Given his previous statements, you get the feeling it's like throwing paint thinner on the Mona Lisa. "But I suppose... that is a sacrifice I will.... grudingly accept." He is visably frowning at this.

"There are a few... conditions, yes," you say, picking your words carefully, "You need to undo what you did to Albert, leave Fred alone, fix me... and..." your pretty sure this is the deal breaker, "Promise, on your... existance... that you won't throw the world into chaos." you say, trying to think of a way to say this that will ensure the best outcome. You don't say, 'don't harm anyone, since he obviously doesn't want to kill anyone, and harm sounds subjective. "No driving people crazy, or disrupting law and order, or causing an... end of world scenereo." you try to clarify.

The Frog thinks about this.

"What are you doing!?" you hear Albert cry, "You can't free him, he's a demon!"

Albert is right of course, but you can see that Fred isn't going to be able to resist if the Frog puts any pressure on him. He could torture him and the Demon would be free anyway. You can at least barter to try and negate as much impact on this as you can. So you pretend you don't hear Albert.

"Do we have a deal?" you ask.
