A Villain In A World Of Heroes

Getting mind controlled/influenced is getting real old. First the Unicorn, then whatever was up with that pond, then that plant, then the plants seeds (somehow).

Well, how are things in this forrest without good defense/offense supposed to survive and attract prey without mind control? Also, the seeds rolled a twenty and you rolled two Nat 1s, which is why this happened. I didn't plan it at all, blame the dice gods, not me.

[X] Back at the pond, there is lots of water and that pond was so pretty. It would make a good, water rich, home.

Because fuck those seeds. They deserve to have a taste of their own medicine for a change.

[X] FIGHT IT

I understand, but with how often its happening to us, I think we would build up a resistance or a susceptibility
[X] Around the clearing, where their parent former caretaker died. It likely has lots of nutrients from the undigested prey and plant remains.

this could have gone better

Guys, guys. Don't do what the seeds want. Fight it (it's a invisible option).

-[jk] Eat the seeds! Your stomach is sure to have plenty of nutrients, right? Not like eating things has done you wrong before.
 
[X] FIGHT IT!
-[X] In case fighting it is too much trouble because we are a pathetic, weak willed sissy, plant a few around the pond, a few around the clearing, and keep a few in our pockets for placement in areas populated by people we dislike.

I'm just going to say, right now, that we need a non-Dice Gods way of getting things done, at least in our mind.

Idea: Mind readers read what we show them, not the character's thoughts. So they read Cedra's mind, and they get SV instead of her surface thoughts (Does she even have surface thoughts not implanted in her or voted for by us?).

Mind reader: *Spying on Cedra* Let's see what your plans are...
*What he sees*
1: *Odd scribbles*
2: *More Odd scribbles in reply, followed by video*
*A sudden cracking sound engulfs him as he is sucked into full mental contact*
*The vistas of the vacuum of space encompass the Mind Reader as illegible runes scatter down from an invisible wall stretching from and expanding to the depths of the cosmos accompanying strange creatures as they converse with each other in an arcane and sibilant tongue, the moving images commonly associated with memories by the Mage blasting eldritch sounds and impossible happenings across the inner universe he has found himself in. Enthralled, he watches as two giant beings in suits of strange armour grow ever larger, eventually encompassing a space larger than, from what the Mage can see, all of creation as they duel.*
Mind Reader: Argle-flargle-blargle *Falls down in Real Life because he had a seizure*

Not going to happen, but one can dream.

At the very least, we should be able to ignore mental influence a few times a day. There's no point in playing a quest if you have to deal with control being taken away from you constantly by the latest monster-of-the-day.
 
[X] realize you are being controlled by the thing that just tried to kill you

[X] Kill them, kill them with fire!!!
 
x] Back at town, there is lots of peopleeasy prey there for your kids to eat.

Gives us time to snap out of it.
Gives the seeds more time to make us think that there's nothing wrong, more like it. The farther away we get from our whole viewpoint being turned on it's head, temporally, that is, the less we can actively bring up why there is something wrong with us, which is our primary defense against mental attacks right now, because we keep rolling natural ones whenever mind control comes up for resisting with willpower.
