Turn 261
Go south.
Before Bob could recover from the punch to the face, Cuberac finished weighting his options and chose to leg it. By the time Bob stood back up, Cuberac was already a speck in the distance. Before he could figure out why, Light finished his thoughts forever. Some distance away, Cuberac was panting from the rush. It seemed that fate was bent on snatching every prize out of his hands.
Doktor Diabolical:
"Excellent. Time to put my plans into motion. But first, one last preparation."
Put on the armor. Make 3 essences. Check the armor's functions to make sure they work. Specifically its defense against magic-that was probably what the parts were intended for, right? Examine the aether sensor one more time, checking the readings and whatnot. See if anything's changed.

Doktor went through his devices, checking each in turn. The armor was working as intended now, all systems operational. Unfortunately, when he checked the parts, he found that they were not warded against magic or even against physical blows. They were warded against scrap-code, which wasn't a problem unless you were in a post-singularity post-apocalyptic world. The aether reader brought little new, with the forest node still overwhelming anything further away. It seemed even slightly brighter now.
Three essences. Try to stay out of fighting.

Sharrin chose to stay away from the battle for a moment, both his own situation and the enemies were too strange. He needed a few moments to focus himself, and quite frankly, the foes failed to cause any real injury so far.
if no one does after going through the portal, follow them through
Run through the portal
Fight off the poison and darkness. I do still have some mind control resistance in my brain if that helps.
Pop healing items like they're candy.
Cast healing spells with max essences like they're going out of style.
Get the seeds. Keep them safe.
Get everyone through the portal.
Oh yeah, gesture at Grundar until he does something tangible to help.
((Whoops. Forgot to hit post last turn.))
Ensure that the ghost isn't possessing me or somesuch. Have the stiletto stab the black flames and blood. After someone passes through the portal, assuming that they don't start screaming, follow them.
((Hah, forgot to post, lets wave it off as Ao being in daze.))
Blinded, poisoned and confused... A fine day that was for Ao, and only better it would become.
Become etherial. Expel poison from my blood. If still blinded and poisoned - make poison filter itself via spell, else guard my senses against further attacks (use 2 +1/+2). Else/afterwards continue with sword attack. Use celestial insight in case of 1's

Before any mage could rush the portal, the blood moved again. It streaked towards the new portal, carrying the black fire with it, covering the way out beneath the unreal blaze. Few mages that were closest to running towards it paused in their step. In the meantime, the cutlass continued trying to stab through catatonic James. It worked better after abandoning the heavily armored chest and stabbing at far more vulnerable limbs. James remained insensate to the flowing blood, continuing to battle the shadows in his mind. Grundar, perhaps slow witted but dutiful, stepped forward and grabbed the cutlass trying to stab James. His firm grasp stopped any attempts from the haunted blade to escape and injure anyone else.
Unfortunately, the demonic attack did not end there. To surprise of everyone, the demonic portal coughed out an entire elephant which landed on James. If anyone had been able to hear, they imagined it would had made quite a sound. But there was little time to be surprised, as the portal expelled another Molotov, this one straight at Gambler who caught it straight in the face. Any of his plans were swiftly replaced by pain and burning. The ghost Ilithid seemed to not be a fan of fire as it left Gambler and floated into Skeliborn. Only Ao was doing well, his previous enchantments allowing him to purge poison fairly easily. Unfortunately, the enemy did not seem like one he could actually fight.
