When can you banish a Fiend, and must you do it after taking an Initiative card?
The designer confirmed that a Fiend can be banished at any time before it affects you, and a poster quotes the rulebook on when its penalty starts.

At any time, and not only after taking an Initiative card. You can take the card's Gold, banish, then place your die, or banish before placing the die or before the attribute action. Fiends take effect from the end of the Dice Phase, so banishing one before then avoids its penalty.
