In that case, Zsfdyncnyrwqkwzyztcv.
Separated into pronounceable syllables: Zus/fa/dyn/cun/yur/woq/kwo/zyz/tu/cov. But I guess he can call us Zusfadyn, if he must.

 You are Zusfadyn the Dread, a female Lvl. 4 Djinni.

How should you speak to the magician?
(Power. Speak in a booming, terrifying voice. Maybe she'll step out of her pentacle and out of her protective runes)
(Calm. Act wise.)
(Casual. Speak in a humorous, joking voice.)

Simple business transaction. Ask her what she wants. Continue nomming the bloody calf we brought.

╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

 "Entity of the Other Place, I bind thee to the pentacle of binding and charge thee to not inflict harm on me." the girl said.
This is the second step of the summoning process--after they actually summon you, they bind you to the pentacle and order you not to harm them. This is the most dangerous part, because when they unbind you to do their bidding, if they get one part of their command wrong so that you can find a loop around it, it could be their death. You rustled up a powerful voice--not too powerful, yet not too soft.

 "I know the secrets of the earth and the mysteries of the air; I know the key to the depths of knowledge and the minds of the powerful. What do you wish? Speak." you said to the girl in a wise voice. It's been so long since you've been summoned--last time you were serving King Gilgamesh's servant magicians. You look around the room--seems to be the same in Gilgamesh's time, but a little bit more advanced as more books and new runes lined the pentacle. You summon a small-scale inferno which circles around you--too small scale to activate the pentacle's defenses.
 "Zusfadyn. I charge you to remain within this room standing still." the girl said, releasing the magic that binded you to the pentacle. Of course you still can't move, or else you will be subjected to one of her many punishments.
 "It is done. Name your charge, and it shall be done." you say once again as the girl finished all of the precautions.
 "I charge you to battle in the Battle of Essence, within the Valley of Lost Hope for Solomon's great empire tomorrow. Until the sun rises on the next day, you shall complete menial tasks in King Solomon's name." she commanded.
 Solomon, then. So it's still that time. you thought to yourself. King Solomon, who rules all of Jerusalem with his magic ring of enormous power. You glance down to the girl who looks up to you with determined jet-black eyes. You estimate her to be in her early twenties, at the very least.

 "It shall be done." you simply said. You really want to get out of this as soon as possible. Being on Earth for prolonged periods of time tend to damage your essence. If you could find a loophole through this girl's words, you may be able to kill her and be done with this slavery for a while.

Ask her what she's offering us in return for our service. Remind her that while it might be possible to compel us with no payment, it's probably not in her best interest to do so. If she makes a mistake, if a cat or ill-timed gust of wind breaks her circle, she looks pretty tasty and we can probably think of things to do to her over the course of all of eternity more more entertaining than simply eat her and be done with it.

But if she makes a good enough offer, we might be inclined to fulfill the contract anyway.

Since she's speaking, and we can't hear punctuation, "I charge you to battle in the Battle of Essence, within the Valley of Lost Hope for Solomon's great empire tomorrow. Until the sun rises on the next day, you shall complete menial tasks in King Solomon's name" could mean "I charge you to battle in the Battle of Essence, within the Valley of Lost Hope for Solomon's great empire tomorrow, until the sun rises on the next day."

Using this loophole, we will be released from service in battle in precisely two days time, which will presumably be in the midst of combat, allowing us to kill lots of stuff and then leave.

For now, however, we should follow the commands, and be a nice little Djinn, unless someone else thinks of a good loophole.

I'm fairly certain that we are magically bound to her service, so she has no reason to pay us. Worth a try, though. +1

Is there any way that her death might be counted as a part of the Battle? Perhaps we could call it a pre-emptive attack on opposing forces, since she didn't say which one and we could choose this one to attack?

She's invoking Solomon. Basically, she's commanding us in the name of god, presumably to fight a holy war for her.

For reference: Lesser keys of Solomon.

Though...I notice that while she specified that the battle was to be "for" Solomon's empire, she did not specify whether we were to join the defenders or the invaders.

Quote from: Foolish girl
"I charge you to battle in the Battle of Essence, within the Valley of Lost Hope for Solomon's great empire tomorrow.

Both sides will be involved in the battle. Both sides will battle within the valley. And both sides will be battling for control of the same thing.

She did not specify which side we were to help posses the empire.

Let's not mention this to her.
