Glad you enjoyed it!  I constantly need to remind myself: sometimes, simple
is best :^D  Figured I was due after churning on that other moon (curse it,
I say, curse it! ;)  Thanks for the kind words. :)

    Hmmm, not certain.  I'd assume most female prisoners it'd be pretty
standard to the race (humans == 9 months, orcs somewhat less, elves somewhat
more), with a good 95%+ chance of dying in childbirth (by the old rule of
"when a cambion is born, mother dies in childbirth).  The cultists pretty
much don't care...with a never-ending flow of victims, they really don't
need for the woman to survive.  In fact, a custom might be to feed the baby
the flesh of the mother if you want something pretty sick :)  I doubt they
would have a need to "speed up" the process normally, but might do so during
times when a particularlly bloody battle has depleted their numbers or when
they have a particularly large batch of women to "process" (ala the orcs at
end of UWI).

For succubus, <shrug> I guess 9 months, but 6 months and 6 days and 6 hours
does have an appealing ring to it ;)  There are literally hundreds of women
pregnant there at any given time, and its been going on for several
centuries (I'd say 5 centuries at the very least), and on the Abyss the
half-fiends are pretty much immortal (assuming they don't die in battle),
with "baby boom" periods like with the orcs at the end of UWI, so the
numbers of half-demons should be in the tens of thousands at the very least.
Infant mortality is probably pretty high, as is the meat-grinder that is the
Bloodwar, so I'd guess that the "real" number of half-demons is probably
holding steady.  Lots of inexerienced, bloodthirsty kids with some hardened
veterens.
