Too late for me as my party have finished Test of the Smoking Eye but I just got FC1 and it is jolly good. So maybe a thread for using content from FC1 in Occiptus is a good idea. Maybe not :)
To start, nothing special, but I never really got the fiendish centaur rangers. I spent time trying to figure out why they where there and when they arrived, their culture etc. Replace with scavenging armanites FC1 page 28, adjust numbers downwards to keep the EL the same.
For after the campaign using Athux from FC1 page 118 seems a good start.
Also as Erik and James authored FC1, and both where involved in AP1 (particularly James with the SCHCAP) some words of wisdom, as well as shamelessly plugging something they authored, would be nice :)

What's FC1?
FC1 is Fiendish Codex 1: Hordes of the Abyss by James Jacobs, Eric Mona, and Ed Stark. It's about demons and the abyss.

Actually I can't find anything on the mechanic's of banishment in FC1 (still reading it though). Nabthatoron and his demons entered the prime at the Demonskar after the spell weaver device exploded. They failed to conquer Redgorge. Yeenoghu is unhappy and banishes them to the prime. I assume this means the following:
1) They can no longer planeshift (in the case of the glabrezu)
2) They can no longer summon demons
Now if someone opened a gate/portal from the Demonskar to the Abyss, lets say the 507th layer or Occipitus, and the demons went through, and pledged fealty to the lord of that layer, would they be freed from Yeenoghu's banishment?
Also if Nabthatoron was killed, and his essence returned to the Abyss and was reformed as a vrock for instance, but a cleric cast true ressurection upon him after that, would he be able to return as a glabrezu again upon the prime and be remade by the spell.

Who says that the banishment has to be magically (or whatever) enforced? It may just be that Nabthatoron knows that if he returns while he's banished, there'll be hell to pay (literally). But I don't know that that means he can't planeshift anymore.
He probably can't summon demons though, as no demons would want to risk Yeenoghu's wrath by answering such a summons.

Probably too Hellgate Keep obsessed :) When Grintharke and the demons that took over Hellgate Keep in FR where banished they could no longer summon or planeshift. This seemed similar, particularly using words like trapped, and exiled.
Just asking as it seemd to be the second group of demons in a D&D setting that I know off that are banised/exiled etc to the Prime, and was hoping FC1 might touch on this. It still could, I haven't finished reading it yet).
