[TalonisWolf]

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.

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.

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

Try appealing to her lust foe power, if that fall try plane sexual lust.

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

"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.

 So we have two loopholes to take advantage of! Nice start.

[3man75]

She said to remain still but can shoot flames to trap us both in this room?

We woudn't hurt her directly its simply that the fire would spread 

Wolf i'm misreading what are the 2 Loopholes?

 "And what shall I receive in return for my service?" you ask. Most magicians usually just enslave you, but it's worth a shot.
 "In return? You are but a slave, demon." she replied with the usual answer.
 "Perhaps a reward will reconsider my morals set upon you. What if an ill-timed gust of wind were to blow apart this pentacle, or you make a blunder in your command? You seem quite tasty, yet a reward may leave me reconsidered if you did make such a mistake." you say, recalling the charge she gave you. Humans are tasty though; eating them will rejuvenate the essence. Eating other entities recharge your essence even more. The girl simply chuckled as a smile spread across her features.

 "Very well. Serve me well and I shall make you my personal guard, a fitting role for one of Solomon's court magicians." she says. Oh, so this young girl is a court magician then--one of the twelve in all of Jerusalem.
Many cower in fear to the quelling power of Solomon's ring--some say it has the power to summon a hundred djinn within the blink of an eye, others say it grants its wearer the status of demon lord, control over the entirety of the Other Place.

 "Very well." you responded. Fame isn't that bad of a reward--especially for one of Solomon's court wizard, as it gets you much better treatment.

 "For the time being, you may wander around 100 meters from your very position. You shall not speak to other humans unless spoken to, and may speak to other demons. Learn a thing or two for your stay, Solomon's kingdom is grand." she says. Free roam? That's a truly rare thing.

You so far have developed not one, but two loopholes to take advantage of, one potentially leading to her death. When an entity's master dies, that entity is released unless placed on an after-death charge.

Shake our head and Explore and examine the area. Knock stuff over if it gets in the way of our prousing.

"Very well. Serve me well and I shall make you my personal guard, a fitting role for one of Solomon's court magicians."

"Not good enough. But fortunately I have no need to follow your commands. While you did adequately prepare the smaller ward around yourself and I cannot reach you, there's a break in the ward containing me. Thank you for bringing me to this plane. I will think fondly of you while I feast upon your comrades."


Then turn invisible. And wait.

[PrivateNomad]

Then turn invisible. And wait.

Mid-level djinn such as you cannot be invisible. The least you could do is shapeshift into something very small, however you cannot shapeshift to anything larger than a thumbnail as your essence cannot compress that much.

[LordBucket]

Mid-level djinn such as you cannot teleport. The least you could do is shapeshift into something very small, however you cannot shapeshift to anything larger than a thumbnail as your essence cannot compress that much.

That's fine. Change into a bit of smoke or dust, or whatever. We don't actually need to leave. The goal is to appear to leave so as to mislead her into thinking she failed to contain us. And then when she closes the circle and cleans up the ritual, or re-draws the circle from scratch to attempt a second summoning, that frees us. And then she's ours.

 "Not good enough. But fortunately I have no need to follow your commands. While you did adequately prepare the smaller ward around yourself and I cannot reach you, there's a break in the ward containing me. Thank you for bringing me to this plane. I will think fondly of you while I feast upon your comrades." you simply said to the girl before turning into the smallest clouds of smoke. The girl blinked once before closing her fist and muttering an incantation. Suddenly as she spoke the final syllable, five red lances of magic shot out of each corner of the pentacle and struck you. You let out a scream of pain as your very essence reverberated, with the smoke cloud pluming around in pain.

 "Do not attempt to fool me again, demon." she replied as you recollected yourself from the painful episode. If you could only learn this girl's name. Magicians usually have a name, but it's not their true name. When you speak their true name, any magic attack they lay on you is deflected back at them.

+1, So what is your name? mistress

"Do not attempt to fool me again, demon."

Compliment her on her wits. Play subservient for now.

Explore and examine the area.

So what is your name? mistress

If she didn't fall for our previous trick, she's not going to fall for that.

[Funk]

Im sure she won't give us her real name, but we need to call her something.

[LordBucket]

we need to call her something.

Breakfast? Or depending on how this goes, maybe Dinner.

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

   You move upstairs which seems like the same room but with a window. You shapeshift into a seagull and fly out into Jerusalem. The city is grand, with King Solomon's palace finely erected in the center. You notice a marketplace far from your 100-meter radius filled with humans trading various things. You notice some imps as well--disguised as ravens on the first plane, but resembling small horned demons on the others. You notice a djinni who takes the form of a human man with short brown hair and scarlet eyes on the first plane, but on the seventh he is a large stone gargoyle. A spirit's true form is always the form they take when they are summoned, so your true form for this time on the Earth would be a succubus.
