Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kinneus" data-source="post: 6498651" data-attributes="member: 48215">Some random NPCs for you:-A Bone Devil that hits on one of the PCs relentlessly. He's polite but very clearly attracted to the PC, commenting endlessly about their attractiveness and especially their "perfect bone structure," and how much the devil would enjoy "undressing" him or her. The implication, after a while, is that the devil is actually sexually attracted to the PC's skeleton, and intends to remove all the "extraneous parts" prior to copulation.Bone Devils are described as being "lustful" in the Monster Manual, but I have no idea what an evil half-skeleton demon thing is supposed to lust after, so this is what my brain cooked up.-A devilish lady pulls one of the PCs aside and makes a proposition. She offers him or her something valuable (a single wish perhaps, a magic item, or some thing else tempting but not necessary). The devil makes it clear she's NOT looking for the PC's soul... that would be terribly gauche at a function like this, Faustian pacts are so last century, dahling...No, instead she wants the PC's favorite color. She will be characteristically evasive about how a person can "give up" a color, but she will eventually explain she will take away the PC's ability to perceive his or her favorite color. If the PC declines, she looks mildly disappointed and maybe makes the offer to another player. If the PC accepts, she provides the agreed upon item or service... but the PC goes completely color-blind. She explains that, well, since she took their favorite color, their second-favorite naturally become their de facto favorite. And since the terms of their agreement was that the PC gave up his or her ability to perceive their favorite color, she of course had to revoke all colors to ensure the PC didn't unwittingly breach the terms of the contract.It's a nice way to give a player some treasure while also enforcing the whole, "don't deal with devils" thing without completely screwing the player over.- A glabrezu, balor, or nalfeshnee who's acting as a sort of "diplomatic guest" to the party. These creatures are very intelligent (Int scores in the 18-20 range), so I always thought they'd be a little dissatisfied slumming it with other demons. An intelligent demon might really enjoy an intelligent conversation with devils. PCs can overhear them having a friendly, theological "debate" over whether the universe has a right to exist. The visiting demon would argue of course that it does not, while the devils would offer the solution that its myriad sordid pleasures are more satisfying than primordial nothingness. A debate over whether to destroy the universe or enslave it.I also heartily endorse the dancing pit fiend and the idea of a damned (but legendary and very talented) musician. Those are great ideas.</blockquote>
