Abel was just having a good conversation with his important guests. Of course, it would just be him and the five legendary wizards. The dwarven king and the beast emperor would only join occasionally to show that they were there.
As for the main hallroom, a war was about to start over the dishes, red wine, and the water spirit fruit juice passed over. The guests all rushed over to get their own share. The wizards had it the easiest. While they couldn't cast spells, the "telekinesis" could be used for them to reach for things from over the distance. They would just be standing outside the crowd to grab whatever food they were after.
