In a roleplay last weekend my priest (Clr14) conjured a Lantern Archon via the Lesser Planar Ally spell. My character wanted to set up the Archon as a guard for a temple, while no other cleric was around to watch it for a couple of days.
Since the Lantern Archon is just a ball of glowing gas (and thus couldn't carry any material form of payment) my GM came up with some quite ingenious form of payment: the Archon wanted to get eight levels of spell energy.This form of payment worked fine, since my cleric didn't have any time to reload the lost spell slots, on the same day the group was thrown into action.
But to make this spell energy loaning a balanced legal form of payment those spell slots would need to be blocked until the service of the planar ally would be fullfilled.
How many spell slots should be blocked per HD of the planar ally? What other forms of non-material payment could work for non-corporeal (and corporeal) celestials or elements?
