"Well, anything you do will have to be motivated by you directly. Kodama won't join a cause without payment of some sort. Nor will most elemental spirits. I have my duties I must return to eventually, but I can help you figure things out for now.

"So, you say a demon claimed there was a larger spell being worked on? If demons are truly involved, then so are angels. And seeking help from God or angels would be appropriate. If you don't have a God or a belief, then seek the help of angels. They are fairly blatantly obvious and easy to spot. Of course, demons like to parade around as angels, but they can always be tested. Angels don't mind being tested. Usually.

"With a larger spell, you could probably find signs to direct you to where it might be initiated. There may be a gathering of powerful sorcerers, or a certain area may be getting more and more tainted with evil each day. Look for patterns such as stars and demonic symbols. Larger spells always require the gathering of large numbers of persons or spirits, so keep an eye out for such gatherings.

"If there are demon possessed Stellas, then you might want to find them and exorcise them. Demonic possession requires a body."

OOC:
TYPES OF DEMONIC INFLUENCE
-Possession: a body is completely under the demon's control (usually spirit and mind are quieted). Possessed person must be body-spirit-mind-soul.
-Oppression: a demon is following and tormenting a body-spirit-mind-soul
-Spirit Doppelganger: a demon has eaten the remains of a spirit-mind and taken on their form and memories
-there may be more, but this is enough for now.

IC:
"If they are Spirit Dopplegangers, then you'll need to educate people about the false-Stellas, how to recognize them and what to do about them. The same would be true if a lesser spirit had become a Spirit Doppleganger. But as a living physical being you wouldn't be powerful enough to handle a demon, but you probably could handle something lesser.

"If it is a demon, NEVER EVER EVER summon it. That would be stupid. Very very very very very stupid. If it is lesser, summoning it may be dangerous, but properly done it may be advantageous.

"ah hell... I think Stella is interupting a demon summoning right now an is a little to late..... and they just found out she was there"

"That isn't good. Shall we try to help her?"

"Imedeatly."

Together the two of them run to the appropriate place.

((It's okay to post as Stella here too now.))

The find themselves in among the Leropidaens who suddenly all turn to them. In the spirit realm, they see a large unshapen creature sitting inside a now broken magic circle. The creature was preparing to attack the spirit of Stella, but now it hesitates.

Uses vines to toss the inocent bunny sacrafice over in the derection of the elf and estella.

So I never told you what happened when the circle was broken. You'll need to adjust things accordingly.

When the circle breaks, Stella sees that the sacrifice has already fallen through the hole and died. The sacrifice was impaled on a spike, and the blood has drained down the spike into the cesspit. The summoned creature has its head down and slowly raises its head. The lead Leporidaen points at Stella and commands the creature to attack.

Just then, Estella and Ybrect burst in. They both see all of the people and spirits (due to the glasses Ybrect gave Estella).

The creature suddenly realizes that it is free and that the binding spell the Leporidaens had been performing is incomplete. Instead of attacking Stella, he stands up and bites the leader's spiritual head off. The leader slumps to the ground crying uncontrollably. The other Leporidaens scream and try to run for the exit which is currently blocked by Estella and Ybrect.

Well hopefully grabs the spirit of the sacrificed one and tosses it to safety if it wasn't taken to stella land. (not sure if it was warring the symbol or if that had been set up yet or not).

She then tries to use vines to hold the beast down so it don't kill any of the other guys.

"Ok this is worse than I expected." She creates bio weapons that shoot seeds imbuned with the same sort of energies as the spirit seeds Stella made that eat away at evil stuff... this was the fastest... and easiest way she could think for her to produice a way to hurt something like this.... and she opens fire on it, blasting the seeds into it's mouth/head.

The spirit of the sacrificed Leporidaen is nowhere to be seen. It wasn't wearing the symbol.

Spoiler for what happenned to the spirit while the wall was still up an Stella couldn't see in: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
It was devoured by the creature. The soul was "moved on" to the next plane of existence.

---

((without doing the dice rolls, basically this is what would probably happen. If you want to do dice rolls to contest this, let me know.))

Stella's spirit vines are shattered by the creature easily. It is clearly far too powerful for her to defeat.

Estella isn't a spiritualist, and in fact, her ability to work with Magem is inhibiting any spiritual ability. Nevertheless, her attack on the creature is far more effective than Stella's. The seeds soar through the spirit and land on the ground. But they do take root, and grow quickly - feeding off of the energy in the room. The growths are difficult for the creature to move through.

Ybrect says, "Spirit of Fertility, in the name and traditions of Grandel the Wisest, I command you to arrest your violence immediately." The sound of her voice echoes loudly in the Spirit realm.

The creature hesitates and turns to Ybrect. "I am neither beyond my bounds nor accords. I was summoned and my cage crumbled." Gesturing around her, the creature says, "This is my home. This is my fiefdom. I have taken nothing which was not mine. You have no right to interfere."

"Spirits of Fertility eat people?... er..... well I guess that kinda makes some sense in a way.... but" she sighs..... "where these people trying to do what we asked all along?" Setlla will feel like such an ass if they where done here to try and reduce there fertility.....  though sacrificing some one?  Surely there could have been another way.....

The other Leporidaens who had been present have all run away. No one is left except the Leader who is still crying on the ground.

The Spirit of Fertility looks at Estella, "I don't "eat people". I take that which is given, and protect that which is my own. I have no idea how to answer your other question."

Ybrect looks confused at Estella, "What did you ask them to do?"

---

Spoiler for Assuming Estella explains...: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
The Spirit replies,"Their leader intended to increase the fertility of the Leporidaens in this Warden, and increase its food production as well. He also sought to gain power and influence."

---

"So have they contacted you before in the past or is this something new?"

The Spirit of Fertility replies, "This one has approached me once before. Prior the days of the Warden, I was approached regularly with offerings from many different people."

She sighs and explains what is going on seeing as this is a sort of a 'local god' of sort, and apologizes but don't take to much favor in people forcing others to do things like that... and the 'sacrifice... didn't seam very willing. Considering the things going on hopes the spirit can understand why she though they where feeding demonic forces here....

"Far as I know there messing with my head, even if my other spiritual form was infected thats still only one not three..."

The Fertility Spirit ignores Stella's explanation and question, but then asks, "What brought you here? Why did you come here?"

"I get the distenct feeling the kama (or how ever it was spelled) of this warden is testing me."

The Fertility Spirit replies, "Ah, the Kodama named Bella Donna? What were you sent to accomplish?"

---

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Bella said, "I want you to ensure that the root system of this Warden is being properly fertilised. "

---

"She wanted me to make sure the roots where being properly fertilized."

The Fertility Spirit looks pleasantly surprised, "I wouldn't have expected her to take an interest. ... I suppose it all depends on the meaning of the term 'properly'. I currently receive offerings of uneaten meals, unwanted cookware, various refuse and occasional blood sacrifices - as you witnessed today."

"I guess she intentional left that out.... I suppose there is some lesson to these tasks though if thats the case why she couldn't just explain things is beyond me." and there was the bit of her mother in her showing lol

The Spirit of Fertility turns to Ybrect, "Am I released?"

Ybrect turns to the spirit of Stella, "Do you have any other questions for the spirit?"

---

Spoiler for what happens after questions are asked and over: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
The spirit disperses into an energy that pervades the ground and vegetation of the Warden.

---

Sighs when thats over. "This is getting all a bit to complicated... who knew being a plathrapist was esechaly declaring war on demons...."

Ybrect looked at Stella slightly surprised, "When you love people you are the enemy of those who hate people."

Estella has been silent for awhile.

Stella must now decide what to do about Bella's request. Is it time to return to Bella or is there something left to do?

---

Spoiler for what Bella says if Stella returns to her: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Bella speaks before Stella gets a chance, "What are you doing here? What makes you think you're finished?"

---

She sighs some "The roots shouldn't be tending to, the spirit must be blocking there normal function, they are invading it's teritory." The tree's should not have any problems gathering energy. She cheeks the tree to see is she's right and just how large this spirits teritory is.... if the roots/leaves could take root some where else and get the power they need her and Estella could help them grow there.... otherwise they could always help hook it up to the forming network earlier than it would be able to otherwise.
