Perhaps due to some strange quirk, he can barely exert his will upon the material plane, and, weirder still, separated from his own kind this long, he's become decidedly apathetic as a demon (a shift from chaotic evil to chaotic neutral), and is more interested in his own personal entertainment, or what passes for it. Maybe the "mineral" aren't minerals at all - stupid goblins - but a form of extraplanar incubators for a weird stock of demonic parasite he was tasked to grow, before he was banished. They look like geodes, but those that can see into the planes, (or detect magic or something) recognize that they're tethered to weird and strange energies. Maybe the few times in the past that some of the goblins were given the psionic sinews, it was really this disembodied demon wishing to stir up trouble and watch for the panic and wonder that the stupid greenskins would inevitably kick up?Perhaps, once the PCs clear out the goblins, he decides to "aid" them by exerting his will, and causing one of the geodes to "hatch" into its final form. I mean, the added benefit is that perhaps he can keep an eye on the sinews, as they're his creations. This could lead into interesting situations. Or, maybe weirder still, the psionic sinews are formed directly from his flesh, and once attached, allow him to experience "reality," albeit in a limited way, so he has no ulterior motive besides attempting to attach one to the most powerful PC - ensuring the "longest ride" - that he can find.</blockquote>
