[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 5202343, member: 7533"] Actually, since the players will all be expecting the demon to pull some semantic trick like thisand take her through a horror house of gruesome terrors, I'd just play it straight... The demon takes the bard off on a really nice vacation... The French Riviera of the planes. He wines and dines her at the most exotic restaurants. He stays with her in the nicest hotels. He takes her to eloquent parties and dances with her at fabulous balls. They see operas and ballets on the planar equivalent of Broadway. She gets to meet and converse with all the movers and shakers of the Astral Plane and the Abyss that he introduces her to. And so on... He (and all his friends) generally behaves like a charming gentleman, and after a week or two he lets her go with a fond farewell. Turn him into a friendly, if somewhat shady, contact for the Bard in the future... After all, he's never had a chance to take a real vacation before -- his bosses wouldn't let him -- and during those couple of weeks with the bard, he was having the time of his (after)life.
