Glyra's got her heart set on something else.

She's a Gremlin with options; she can have her hammer for close in work, a chain for short-range foes, and a crossbow for long-range attacks. Of course we might have to carry some of her arsenal for her when not in use.
 
While talking items, maybe a Mace of the Dark Children for Dany?
Costs only 500 (If we don't use adamantine) and is both a decent weapon and a nice boost to her Rebuking.

Not too sure if we'll luck out on any anti-demon measures, but hey, the Listener's proved himself a right idiot, so maybe he never even bothered to comb through the place.

[X] Loudly announce that you intend to feed the Shadow Demon to the newly invested avatar of your ally, Yss the Serpent God, just as you did the far mightier Mallor only hours ago, inflicting True Death upon it.
-[X] Give it the option to be slain in a less permanent manner should it present itself now rather than force us to hunt it down.

Huh, that might actually work. It may not like the Abyss(few do), but it's certainly preferable to True Death via Snek. I'm sure it knows what happened to the Mallor, unless it's extraordinarily dimwitted(a possibility, I suppose).

Would the threat fall more under intimidation or bluffing?

While it's incorporality presents a logistical issue for capturing and impaling it on the teeth of the belt or avatar, the intend is perfectly honest.
Therefore: Intimidate
And this wouldn't even be the first demon scared enough by Dany to go back where it came from. We even have a dead Mallor and Vee a bag full of Devil chunks to back up the threat.

Edit: That being said...
[X] Intimidation ala Goldfish
-[X] If that fails, Artemis1992

Just found a really great magic item for Glyra. It's actually so cheap, we could get several of them for utility purposes.

Kyton Rings only cost 1,000 gp, which translates to 100 IM each. I'm sure it wouldn't cost very much at all to upgrade it to a spiked chain to make Glyra happy.

And if that fails we default to Artemis.

The best part about all this is that with Tyene it has no chance of attacking us. All it can do is hide.

Once per day as a standard action, the user can shoot a chain from the ring as though it were a grappling hook, except the range increment is 50 feet.

That is actually incredibly useful.

Fuck, just equip each of our sailors with it(or just the boarders if we're feeling miserly), and it'll no doubt boost morale sky high. The amount of utility that has on a ship, or anywhere really, is staggering. All for 100 IM at that.

Equipping every single sailor with it is way too expensive and frankly unnecessary, a sailor's salary is likely around 10-15 IM a year. You're proposing that we equip each of them with an item that is the equivalent of 7-10 years of their salary. At the end of the day our sailors are expendable and moral definitely isn't worth that much.

Sure we can keep a few on our ships for boarding, but we can literally hire 6-10 sailors for each ring so I would just have enough for our more important crew.

I wouldn't equip all sailors with them, but having one as a standard issue item for each ship would be worth the investment, both for boarding, as well as a tool for retrieving people from the water.

I would be more interested in equipping several main party members with them, a few B-team members, too. Super useful item for an incredibly low price.

Well, just for the "elite" of our budding navy then?

On that thought, manpower(skilled manpower at that) isn't exactly an unlimited commodity. I doubt DP will let us hire thousands of sailors out the ass end of nowhere, however convenient it'd be for us. Out on sea, a skilled crew(with all the knicknacks we can offer them) will likely outmaneuver dozens of piddling mismatched crews(which constitute the majority of ships out there).

I'm fine with issuing our ships with a couple each (3-5?), but one for each sailor? That's 2300 to 6000IM per ship....

I think you meant to point your reply at a different response. :p

I would limit each ship to one such ring, probably worn by the captain or a designated sailor.

Yeah I can get behind that, good human resources are hard to come by and we should invest in our navy. But at the moment that kind of expense is simply too much for every single ship, especially since they aren't even guaranteed to use the rings.
However, I can get behind equipping one ship and using it as a specialised boarder?

@Goldfish I acctually wrote it up before Paradosi posted and wanted to agree with you, but :ninja:
 
So, the plan is for Dany to use a "omnidirectional" intimidate? I like it.
