@DragonParadox, can we segue into turning the Asmodeus Uniilas into books and reading through them?
Sure, though they might not be trivial to catch.

I have my doubts we'll have the time to set up anything like this given all the other plates in the air. It would be neat if something like that ever happened, though.Yeah couldn't access SV for a bit there.
This was a bit of a Strategic concern though. The Efreeti will be searching for this guy with atleast a bit of effort due to the humiliation it implies for one of the Viziers apprentices to have his body possessed by his own familiar.
Now that we have him we can possibly even set up an ambush for whoever will send after him. Potentially even another apprentice. Especially if they want to keep this in house and hush hush. That would be worth it.
Haven't we already caught them? We summoned them at the end of last month, didn't we? Same with the Cornugon.
Also what are we voting on here? What to do with the familiar? If so I'd want to set priority on finding it out what it was doing in heaven. Its contacts and how it was hiding from Efreeti to set up a believable leak to ambush the team sent after it. Very likely to be another apprentice or someone trying to fill the spot this ones master had.

Eh, let them scramble around searching for a mind blanked possessed body for a Month or two till we have the time. If they cant find him it just means he is hiding well afterall. Plus the longer he 'eludes' them the more pissed they will be and the more they will likely send when they get a hint where he is.I have my doubts we'll have the time to set up anything like this given all the other plates in the air.

Efreeti so probably not. More likely for them the kill each other than help them if they send an SoS. More likely that they know already and are searching to kill the embarrassment. Let em search for a few months while we get things ready and bother to set a ambush.I am wondering if we can bait an SOS signal in order to get an apprentice to come and try to help. Or even the master if we can afford it.
We've currently got two Uniila we've captured, both in service to Asmodeus.Oh, right. Sorry I was confused for a moment on what the action on devil summoning for this month said.
Staff of Yss or Staff of Ages.
Staff of Ages
Description: Once charred beyond all hope of recognition, perhaps in the vain hope of slaying its last bearer, the black staff is now glossy and covered in a thin oily film that somehow does not impede one's grip at all. Silver bells once tarnished now shine with burnished light, adorning the staff as before.
Ability: This staff allows use of the following spells:
Special: By using up to twice the number of charges at once during an hour long ritual, the bearer can curse a target either present in person or through a token anointed with the subject's blood without allowing a save.
- Ill Omen (1 charge)
- Bestow Curse (3 charges)
- Greater Bestow Curse (5 charges)
Special: If the staff is broken by the bearer while it has at least 15 Charges all creatures within 10 ft. other than the bearer permanently advance 1d4 age categories (Will save DC 28 halves). If this would cause the victims to achieve an age category older than venerable they immediately fall to dust and are counted as having died of natural causes.
Charges: 30/30
Caster level: 15
Follow the Armory link in my signature and look at the staves section. It's there, updated to show it's current 20 of 30 charge status.
The sacrifices aren't the problem, the problem is Yss is almost always being used for something we want -- like being fed the Flesh Smiths to make a new Flesh Smith, charging the Well of Souls with the power of Oblivion, etc -- so it's not like we can count on him being available to charge the staff in a pinch. What's done is done, though, I should have noticed this when the minor actions were proposed.@Duesal, don't worry about the staff charges, dude. We recharged it recently and expanded it's maximum capacity, IIRC. It has plenty of power left (20 of 30 charges now), and we can always recharge it again. The Larder is full of suitable sacrifices.
Lol, just stab the staff into a sacrifice and have it eat it on its own.If we could feed the Staff sacrifices manually it would be barely an inconvenience. But that is probably out of the question. Would be nice though. A similar effect to that of the Belt of Yss except on a staff.

I'd fully support this kind of upgrade. Most of the problem with using the staff is that it requires Yss to recharge. If it can recharge itself, all of a sudden it's a lot more versatile.I mean it would be super convenient. If possible I would even be willing to sacrifice half of the charges for such a thing.
[X] With the help of Yss, attempt to summon the Advodaza that once slew Thoros and tried to corrupt Westeros through works of Alchemist Guild.
-[X] Have Yss look back into time to the connection Advodaza's summoning amulet once had (6 in 9 chances of succeeding).
-[X] If successfull, commence summoning in The Snare, no matter if dead or captured, this thing cannot be allowed to spread it's influence again, as it without a doubt will try.
-[X] To be attempted around the start of 11th month.
[X] Curse the 2 knowledge-keepers of Asmodeus you summoned last month to same form their wretched cousin from Summerhall resides in.
-[X] Have them thoroughly investigated for anything that can help the group sent to Slavers' Bay, immediately notifying them if any relevant information comes to light - but also keeping an eye out for any other plots of Fiends they may reveal.
-[X] To be done at the start of 11th month
[X] Throughly question the Gelugons and the Cornugon of Asmodeus summoned and captured last month.
-[X] Any and all information relevant to the task of the group in Slavers Bay is to be relayed to them immediately- but also search for knowledge of powerful magics, rare resources, or nefarious plots unconnected to Slavers Bay.
-[X] To be done at the start of 11th month.
@DragonParadox, the only Devil-summoning Minor Action (background summoning aside) we have is the one about attempting to summon an Advodaza with Yss help at 6 out of 9 chances to succeed.
