I was looking forward to Bartimaeus' revenge for Simpkin after their encounter in the first book but unfortunately it never happened. I was just wondering what people thought Barty would have done to him? Killed him straight out or something else? Also I wondered whether people felt sorry for Simpkin when he died or whether he deserved it. I think he deserved it he was too infected with magicianness (which isn't a word but i dont care)

Probably would have scared him half to death in a chase, then most likely toying with and in the end eating him. Depends if Bart was tired or not, and had a taste for flame-broiled Foliot. |

Probably his old favourite of roasting over fire... Welcome Scarlet.  I'm surprised this hadn't popped up before... |

Well to be honest it's not exactly the first thing people think of after readin the trilogy... I'd stick him on a stick, then roast 'im. |

If I was cruel enough, I would take each limb apart slowly, and chew on each one before his eyes.

My, My, that would be quite... disturbing, seeing my limbs being eaten. |

*shudders* Thanks for that Nero. Thanks ever so much. And to be honest Simpkin annoyed me. |

I kinda felt sorry for Simpkin, actually. He was so different from the other foilots, and he kept getting teased for it.
 anyway, i'd just chop his body into little pieces and then eat him quickly. Except I wouldn't eat him, cause i can't imagine myself as a demon eating another demon. (in fact, the very thought grosses me out.)

You would think being reduced to a pile of ashes would be enough... |

He was a willing slave. Quite a bit different, I'd think. |

I guess as barty is so strong compared to the foilot, he would (under the pretence of roasting/eating his limbs as Nero so rightly suggested) force him to work for him. Simpkin afterall is a willing slave. Barty would make him clean public toilets, wash his underwear & do other gross things. |

Willing slave for humans and willing slave for a Djinni are two very different things. |

Especially if a imp is overshadowed by a great djinni like Barty. |

Mightbe. If Simpkin can work willingly for a human, then why not for a djiini? He remains a slave eitherways & lesser demons have worked under higher ones for centuries. Anyway, willing or unwilling, Bart might just force him to do those things. |

He could find better servants than Simpkin. |
