[QUOTE="Fralex, post: 6497640, member: 6785902"] Well, I imagine if the goal is to entice the players, the archdevil wouldn't try to make the banquet too... exotic for a typical humanoid. No unicorn flank or anything. They'd want their guests to feel comfortable and at home, so the banquet would probably resemble a mortal's grand feast, but grander. They'd mysteriously have all the guests' favorite foods available, in the finest presentation infernal magic can buy. Which is not to say nothing out of the ordinary can happen. I mean, these are still DEVILS. Maybe they eat mortal food to seem less intimidating, but still want to have SOME fun, so they include hellish wine smelling of brimstone for themselves to drink. The sort of thing a devil can get drunk on (Dispater would, of course, want to keep a clear head this whole time, but other devils could drink). Maybe a few archdevils get a little tipsy? Could be fun. What do drunk devils do? Sing songs in Infernal that make mortals' earwax bubble faintly? Whine about how they wish they'd followed their dreams of being a fiddler? Maybe start trying to make really transparent offers to the PCs for their souls involving a role-playing game? I don't know how serious or silly a story you're going for here, so just use whatever stuff sounds good. [/QUOTE]
