Hold your horses. The current draft of the Unholy Sentinel ability has a duration built into it - the duration of the [I]unhallow[/I] effect. So we don't need to worry about how long the duration of the spell that summoned/called the bone tyrant is, since it's superceded by the Master's "Become a Sentinel" ability. So it doesn't really matter how the bone tyrant is brought to the Material Plane, so long as it's there to agree to act as a sentinel and receive its payment. The negotiation of terms & conditions could be sorted out in advance via some means of interplanar communication, or the use of multiple conjuration/summoning - e.g. summon a bone tyrant minion and give it a scroll with an Unholy Sentinel proposal to pass to its master, then summon it again to get a reply.
