Employ Yugoloth

Uttering a call for mercenaries, you summon a Yugoloth from Gahenna. You choose the Yugoloth's type, which must be one of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a [Tooltip Not Found]. A Yugoloth appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range to barter for up to a minute. Upon being summoned the Yugoloth informs you of their trade name and in future castings you can decide to call forth or avoid calling the same Yugoloth. There is a 50% chance of that same Yugoloth being available. The component cost is not expended if you have retained this Yugoloth in the past but still must be present at the time of casting. Before bargaining begins you may dismiss the Yugoloth without losing the entirety of the payment. Once it begins and if an agreement is not reached by the end of the minute half the Yugoloth will attempt to take the payment anyway and the spell slot is expended. The Yugoloth will return to its plane of existence within 1 round of the negotiations failing or at the end of 1 minute. During this minute you state how much you are offering to retain the Yugoloth. The Yugoloth will offer you an hourly rate which will start upon the agreement being reached. See below for formula for determining Platinum rate per hour. You may be able to pay with alternative forms of payment should it interest the yugoloth

The Yugoloth is dispassionate toward you and your companions. In combat roll initiative for the Yugoloth, which has its own turns. It is under the Dungeon Master’s control and acts according to its nature on each of its turns. During its service if offered a greater amount by another party the Yugoloth can end its retainer if the other party can pay double your offer. The DM has the creature’s statistics.

On each of your turns, you can try to issue a verbal command to the Yugoloth (no action required by you). It obeys the command if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires, especially if the result would draw you toward evil. Otherwise, you must make a Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) check contested by its Wisdom (Insight) check. You make the check with advantage if you promise an appropriate monetary reward. If your check fails, the Yugoloth becomes immune to your verbal commands for the duration of the spell, though it can still carry out your commands if it chooses. If your check succeeds, the Yugoloth carries out your command — such as “attack my enemies,” “explore the room ahead,” or “bear this message to the queen” — until it completes the activity or loses interest, at which point it returns to you to report having done so. If the check would take the Yugoloth away from you for a period of time beyond an hour you may agree to pay it half before and the other half at the completion of the task. Otherwise you must pay it at the end of each hour or as a lump sum for a number of hours. The Yugoloth is not bound in any way to respect your purchase other than a desire to be paid but will use any and all of its abilities to accomplish said task should it decide to. 

The Hourly rate is 10 PP x CR of Yugoloth (ie Mezzoloth  CR5= 5 x 10 PP= 50 PP /Hour). 

If you for whatever reason decide not to pay the Yugoloth upon completion of its task the agreed upon amount (it may ask for more depending on its motivation but not declining does not incur this consequence if it differs from the agreed upon amount.) the Yugoloth is granted its summoning ability and becomes hostile toward you until it recieves double that payment. If it kills you your soul is claimed by the Yugoloth. 

If you possess an individual Yugoloth's true name, you can summon that Yugoloth if it is of the appropriate challenge rating plus 1, and it obeys all your commands, with no Charisma checks required and will not accept bribes.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 2 for each slot level above 4th.
