Cuberac was not about to be dissuaded from his attempt of victory and soon found another target. A mage robed in rather unusual apparel, he seemed impressive but Cuberac knew that Nihilum was not a great thinker under pressure. Though as Nihilum dodged the supposedly surprise punch and responded with a bolt of absence that Cuberac was forced to dodge lest he lose his head, he began rethinking previous evaluation.
James has a lot of healing items. With any luck (+1 ring), the elephant crushed at least a few and spilled them in his wounds, healing him along side his ring of regeneration and the healing gas present in the area.
The mind control healing seed James set up in his mind a long time ago might help against the mind possessing shadow demon thing.
Pretty sure Marcus doesn't have a single person on the island seeded, he's just bluffing. The language he's using says so.
Sorry for changing my action and possibly being confusing.
Anyway, I would still like to put a "seed" in my own mind, that would heal myself of mind control if I'm ever mind controlled. Use all non-chaos healing essences. And I want to keep this entire spell including rolls secret if possible.
Then make 2 healing essences.
As well as the action I have written in the thread.

The treat of Marcus could have been true or it could have been lies. There was no real way to find out for James, yet he did not want to risk it. it was difficult, but he had managed to forge his own seed of magic, one specifically against attempts to control his mind. Now, what to do with the one threatening?
Just try to wake up.
Stop, drop and roll. The regeneration ring will repair the damage, so putting out the fire is the first priority. The stiletto is animate, so have it stab the blood/portal without passing through while I do so.
Try to burn away the floating blood(?) near the portal with my phoenix form, or at least cause it to go somewhere else
Change the demonic portal into a wolf portal. Use all three essences and a lesser blood power.
((Do to the effect of my armor, I'm pretty sure that if the ghost succeeds in possessing me that I also get to possess it. That or the armor negates the effect. Possession is kind of a magic attack.))
Start ritual to teleport the members of TOAM to blades of grass in a safe universe.
+5/+5 essences
Sacrifices:
The ghost illithid
((For the ritual don't forget my +1 ring of luck just in case)
NAV:The stuff that's happening to you is not mind control. It's close, but sufficiently different. Physically, you are practically unhurt, what with all the regen effects on you.
Rautherdir:You are all out of essences.
star2wars3:You can't use things you don't at least in some way own as sacrifices. Otherwise, you could instagib people by sacrificing them.Chose if you want to start the ritual with different sacrifices and if you even want to start it at all and I'll retcon it in. As for armor you are sorta correct, it would make you and the invader fight in some advanced version of mental combat.

Sharrin did not know much, not anymore, but he did know that the portal was trouble and that he needed to deal with it. He chose to deal with it by throwing magic at it until the problem resolved itself. A seemingly brutish method, it was employed by great many mages in history to great success. The portal shifted, transforming from swirling darkness to a pale gray and changing into a shape of a wolf's skull. But it seemed strange, somehow unreal. Then a black cube fell from the wolf portal jaws and shattered, bathing the area in blinding light. When light receded and sight began to return, mages saw that shadow demon had returned, and was standing just next to Skeliborn, mimicking his movements in what was probably a mockery.
Gambler, gathering his will sent both his body and his stiletto towards doing something productive. He dropped on the ground and began rolling to (sucessfully)extinguish the flames while his stiletto slashed at the blood and fire surrounding the portal. Both blood and fire began rapidly disintegrating into nothing, leaving nothing for Seva to burn. James, meanwhile, was still struggling. The darkness became slightly thinner, the consciousness slightly closer, but there were other problems. Although he had managed to somehow miraculously remain unsquished by the elephant, some force suddenly bent his armor around his neck into his neck, leaving a shallow wound with adamantine bent grinding against it.
Yet another portal opened, small and not particularly stable. A purple hand emerged from it and sent ripples through the air. As the ripples passed, the shadow demon momentarily lost cohesiveness, the elephant was almost blown away by the wind, and the fog on Jame's mind cleared some more. But not all was as well, as Skeliborn fell to his knees, and nearly froze in place. Sharrin's wolf portal seemed to had begun slowly melting. Shouts of pain and struggle broke the silence, startling the mages.
