I get that using a skill check works RAW and diplomacy/bluff are no exceptions. But you cannot order the summoned creature to "roll for diplomacy/bluff". You can order it to "convince the dragon not to attack" and the creature may decide what's the best way to achieve that goal. Whether it will be a roll, a roll of what, and with what mods, it's at gm's discretion. The best similarity I have in mind is UMD and activate blindly. A weaker similarity may be to treat deadly wounds with no healing kit. You can try it, sure, but with no bg info it's kind of difficult. Yeah, it's a green dragon, haughty and aggressive and they are a bunch of... mostly humanoid... people, and we seem to be underground. Is it the dragon's lair? Was there some event that led to the current situation? Questions unanswered...
Thinking about it, it's possibly not about the satyr getting minuses. Rather, it's about him not getting a bonus the party might have. So once again, it works, even though it's not necessarily optimal.
Behind the scenes, I'm still contemplating what to do with Lugar's natural 20... expect some fun :-)
