If not, it can stay as long as it pleases and still use its one-time return ticket when it wants to.The creature must leave when dismissed and is not entitled to a reward or other consideration. If it later decided anyway to use its own abilities to come after the summoner, that would be a separate encounter, not an effect of the spell, and would be eligible for XP.A calling spell is not like a summoning spell, but closer to a teleport. There's a separate section on Calling spells in in the Magic chapter. Its duration is instantaneous and the creature appears in its normal state, not as a summoned creature, except that it's compelled to obey the caster.The second clause of the spell begins, "If you choose to exact a longer or more involved form of service". Arguably casting a spell that has an XP cost is a more involved service even though it's within the 1 round per level duration, and therefore the caster must provide a fair trade.The party are casting a large number of Lawful and Good spells. I think there would be alignment and religious consequences to this. The gods that govern solars might soon come calling on the party for service in return, much as a paladin is subject to the call of the gods. Note that the spell description references lesser planar ally which is exclusively a cleric spell.</blockquote>
