Hey, Vincent never answered this!
I'd suggest that you follow your reasoning:
Me: I summon the demon.
You: OK.
Me: It eats your mom's head.
You: OK.
Me: It eats your unborn children's heads.
You: Wait, no, I stop it.
GM: How?
etc.
That is, let it happen if you're OK with it happening. If you say, "OK, it eats my mom's head, so long as, when it's done, I have sex with your priestess and she's pregnant now."
Then you're just negotiating. You're still using the resolution system ??you're just giving before dice hit the table.
It doesn't say this in the rules, but negotiations should always be about something your character is doing, too. You don't have to have their best interests match your own, of course, but have the character pursue their best interests.
