Roll initiative for the summoned demons as a group, which has its own turns. The demons attack the nearest non-demons to the best of their ability.
After creating a magical circle you may use your reaction to move up to half your movement speed. Otherwise, you end your turn at the center of the circle.
To replenish the salts, the vial must be buried in the sand on a beach for 1 hour after it is empty.
Artifacts
Hivestone
Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)
When a Sliver Queen dies, there is still hope for the hive, for within her resides a Hivestone. A Hivestone is a hardened extra sensory organ that can only be found within the heart of a Sliver Queen. It amplifies the Queen's natural telepathic ability and solidifies her control over the hive. When a Sliver Queen is killed, a successful DC 23 Intelligence (Arcana) check will provide knowledge of the Hivestone and its location within the heart. These artifacts are sought out by powerful wizards who wish to control and manipulate the hive.
If the Hivestone remains undiscovered for 1d10 days, it calls out to nearby creatures within 40 miles. In 3d10 days, a creature will arrive and consume the artifact, 2d6 days later a new hive forms in a nearby location.
Any creature that tries to attune to the artifact must make a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw. On a successful save, the creature takes 10d6 psychic damage. On a failed save, the creature is compelled to consume the artifact.
Each Hivestone contains a sliver hive consciousness, a presence that tries to grow, and consume its surroundings. It takes a powerful mind to remain in control over a Hivestone.
A creature attuned to the artifact must spend at least 30 days bonding with and studying it, during this time the creature must resist going insane. If successful, the creature has advantage on future saving throws made to resist the artifact.
While attuned to the artifact, whenever you use the Call the Hive or Sliver Telepathy abilities you must make a DC 16 Intelligence check. On a successful check, you control the artifact for as long as you are attuned to it. On a failed check, you take 10d6 psychic damage and go temporarily insane, afflicted with short-term madness, roll a d100 on the Short-Term Madness table in the Dungeon Master's Guide (page 259). If you fail this check more than twice within the span of 10 days, you become charmed by the artifact for as long as you remain attuned to it.
While you are charmed by the artifact, you can't voluntarily end your attunement to it, and the artifact casts Suggestion on you at will (save DC 18), urging you to seek out a lair site, build a nest, and consume the artifact transforming into a Sliver Queen.
However, if you end your attunement to the artifact or it is destroyed, the artifact will send out a distress call to all slivers within 40 miles and you lose control of any friendly slivers as they turn on you to for not being a true Sliver Queen.
Random Properties. The Hivestone has the following random properties:
- 2 minor beneficial properties
- 1 major beneficial property
- 2 minor detrimental properties
Call the Hive. While you control the Hivestone, you can use an action to cause the artifact to issue a telepathic call that extends in all directions for 180 miles. Slivers in range feel compelled to come to the Hivestone as soon as possible by the most direct route. Greater slivers such as a Sliver Queen hear the call though they are not compelled to follow it. Slivers drawn to the Hivestone might be hostile toward you for compelling them against their hive's will. Once you have used this property, it can't be used again for 1 hour.
Hive Dominance. Whenever an unfriendly sliver ends its turn within 10 feet of you, it must make a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, it mistakes you for its queen and becomes friendly to you as long as you are attuned to the Hivestone.
Sliversmith. After you spend the requisite amount of time studying the artifact, you learn a ritual to create your own slivers. You must gather at least 2500 gp worth of materials and spend at least 1 hour concentrating on the Hivestone to construct a Metallic Sliver. The sliver appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of the creator, and acts as an ally of its creator. Slivers created in this way remain friendly to you as long as you are attuned to the Hivestone. Once you have used this ability you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
Sliverspawn. After you spend the requisite amount of time studying the artifact, you learn a ritual to create your own slivers. You must spend at least 1 hour concentrating on the Hivestone and slay one living Medium or larger aberration, monstrosity, or humanoid spellcaster to construct a Sliver Broodling. The sliver appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the sacrificed creature, and acts as an ally of its creator. Slivers created in this way remain friendly to you as long as you are attuned to the Hivestone. Once you have used this ability you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
Sliver Telepathy. While you control the Hivestone, you can magically command any friendly sliver within 1200 feet of you, using a limited telepathy. Additionally, as an action, you can target a friendly sliver within range to see through its eyes and hear what it hears, and continue to do so until you use your action to return to your normal senses. While perceiving through the sliver's senses, you gain the benefits of any special senses possessed by that creature, though you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings, unless at least one of friendly sliver is within 15 feet of you and the sliver isn't incapacitated.
Destroying the Stone. A Hivestone appears fragile but is impervious to most damage. If the artifact is consumed by a Metallic Sliver, it will transform into a Sliver Engine, and the artifact is destroyed in the process. If the artifact is consumed by any other creature, it will transform into a Young Sliver Queen. A Sliver Queen can consume the artifact to prevent a rival queen from building a hive in her territory, destroying it. The Disintegrate or Wish spell are the only other known ways to destroy the artifact.
When a Hivestone is destroyed in a way other that being consumed by a Sliver Queen, 1d8 new Hivestones appear each on a random plane throughout the multiverse 1d10 x 100 years later.

Cranial Plating
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement).
A rusted metal skullcap with a retractable faceplate. It has spined ridges along the crest.
While wearing this skullcap, you can detect the presence of attuned magical items within 20 feet. You know only the number of such items, not their location or nature. For each attuned magical item within 20 feet (including this one and items attuned to yourself), you add +1 to the first attack and damage rolls you make each turn.
Curse. Infused with the jealous will of its creator, becoming attuned to the skullcap extends the curse to you. While cursed, the faceplate cannot be lifted above your nose, though it can be seen through with no penalties. However, restful periods bring on bouts of restlessness. At the end of each short or long rest, you must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you are controlled by the jealous wrath of the skullcap, and must do everything within your power to destroy the nearest magical item that is attuned to another creature. If they will not cooperate, you must attack them. You may attempt the saving throw again whenever you take damage. You can break the curse in the usual ways, or by destroying a magical item that is attuned to another creature.

Magic Item by u/AHFromDust
Possible Use for Divining Top
I figured this would be a good item to give to an NPC, like a fortune teller. Imagine the players coming it to see him/her and after a bit of dialog the fortune teller's like "Oh, you're serious! Hold on, let me get the good stuff." then they go into the back and they bring out the top.
