it's canon that one magician let his birth name slip accidentally to a common imp.

I think that falls into deus ex machina territory. Maybe it happened in the books, but I'm not going to hold my breath that something so convenient will happen here too.

It kinda does considering the power scale of a marid relative to us, but yeah.

You know your shit, Xantalos.
╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

You look Ariana straight into the eye with a concerned look deceptively plastered onto the succubus's face.
 "Your master does not credit you as you should--you saw through my attempt to trick you and punished me harshly. You worded your charge well and I would follow it extensively to the ends of the Earth." you said before Ariana turned at you. Her master simply stood beside the larger pentacle which binds you and observed the situation.
 "It's right, master! You always tell me I can't do things right! Look at what I did! Look at my knowledge!" the girl said to her master. Kren simply shook his head with a sigh.

 "Ariana, can't you see this djinni is already attempting to trick you?" he said.
 "No, the demon isn't tricking me, master. It is correct." the girl replied, still using the stereotypical slur for you. Typical magician.
 "You do not realize how dangerous even an imp can be, let alone a djinni," Kren responded calmly.
 "I have had enough. Dismiss this djinni at once, you're a fool." Kren concluded. The girl let out a groan as the ball of her foot stuck the ever-so-slightest out of her pentacle.

She's going to dismiss you anyways. You could kill her right now--you'll wipe a petty magician off this realm and escape to the sweet confines of the Other Place. You may even be able to kill the both of them--one of Solomon's powerful court wizards. A single powerful detonation could make do with this tower and kill them both in a single blast.

That might draw the wrath of this vastly-better magician. He knows our name too.

If we wait patiently to be sent back then say "Ari when you do gain the knowledge call me back..i don't like misadventures.".
If we can blow the ENTIRE TOWER then yes if not just wait patiently.

just wait patiently.

If we're lucky Ariana will refuse to give us up, Kren will disown her and dismiss her from their order, and we'll end up following her into the desert, alone. If that happens, play good little djinni and allow her to believe she's in control of the situation and can trust us.

Also, I like Kren. I think he deserves to be allowed to live. After we've enslaved his former apprentice let's remember to send him christmas cards. Oh, wait. That hasn't happened yet. Hanukkah? No, that hasn't happened yet either. Hmm. Well, some kind of nice card.

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

 "...Very well, master." the girl simply said. You gave a curt nod and glanced at Ariana.
 "Ari, when you learn the sufficient knowledge, summon me again," you say completely dishonestly. You really hope she doesn't summon you ever again. "perhaps one day you will be great," once again, you hope she dies a painful death. "Farewell." you simply say as the girl began to utter the dismissal incantation, with your binds of the pentacle and the Earth released upon the incanting of the final syllable. You feel your essence yank away from the material realm and back into the warm embrace of the Other Place, where you become a swirl of color to join your fellow friends in the rejoice of freedom away from the magician's enslaving bonds.
 This is what it means to be free.


   You suddenly feel a yank on your essence just as the fun started. You wonder who's summoning you now? You materialize within the magician's pentacle as a succubus and gaze the magician in the eye nonchalantly. The pentacle has been crudely drawn into the dusty earth--puddles of blood surround it as well as the dead carcasses of travelers beside it. From far away you sense a strong aura, likely to be from a low-level afrit as it's aura is a fiery red. You've seen worse.
   But what's more interesting is that the girl you saw a while ago is laying in the other pentacle, profusely bleeding from her missing foot. Her facial features appear to have aged a good decade, and her hair is messed up and her clothes are sodden with blood.
 
 "H- Help me..! The afrit! He's coming!"

...
Ah.

Well, she's been good enough to ignore us for as long as possible. Get her to a reasonably safe place while complaining about how she only just let us go, and make sure she knows that we could kill her at any time.

As you say, master.

'Help' her by killing her before the afrit does. Exact words and all.
