Philip is up to post!

The ghost has just attacked Philip after appearing through the ceiling to no effect, Salem has realised their is no electricity in the house and Corn has ceased hostile actions all three of you are in a basement that looks like a war zone with splintered crates and scratched walls, a few shattered wine bottle leak onto the floor where Eidolon is collapsed clearly injured.

Philip refuses to let the attempted attack on him by the strange translucent gray entity faze him as he continued aiming Self Healing, as he came down into the cellar.

*If* things can be made out in the basement, Philip would be saddened to see his fellow Libertine apparently unconscious. But, believing he needs to be more healed to survive incoming attacks and properly assist Eidolon, he would still prioritize healing himself over rushing to drag Eidolon to safety. He would walk towards his position in such a way as to guard Eidolon from attack by offering up himself as an attack target, not dodging attacks as he is continuing to aim his spell.

Is there light on in the basement? Or is light coming from above and down the stairs enough to make out the mess that is going on there? Where (if any) are light sources in the basement located that Philip can see, or would Philip need to turn on his flashlight on his phone to see what`s going on there?

[Corn]

Whether the guy above is a mage or a Proximus related to the lingering memories of the old man's ghost, Corn realizes they, four mages, can't do much about it. There's one way to get out, quickly without having to carry Eidolon himself.
"The feather!" he tells the others as he shines his flashlight and tries to find and remove the feather from Eidolon 's prone body - and probably Salem 's soon enough.

[Eidolon]

Eidolon grunts in pain, showing that he is still alive but incapable of doing anything.

[Salem]

Salem makes it down the stairs with the others but now that they are directly out of danger, his adrenaline seems to run out and the Warlock collapses to the floor from his injuries. As he falls, his spells fall with him.

Salem hits the floor as Corn and Philip using the sufficient ambient light and Corns torch huddle other Eidolon either protecting him or in the case of Corn finding the feather that had granted access through the wards.

However as the ghost snarls the beam of light form the torch intensifies dramatically and is now putting car headlights to shame.

Philip continued to prioritize healing himself, despite the increasing number of problems, while standing next to Eidolon. Corn bringing attention to the feather was surprising, so he gave Corn a questioning look as he began quietly chanting in High Speech to prepare to heal himself with another Self Healing spell. With Eidolon still being in a terrible state, he also continued protecting him, offering up himself as an attack target as he stood where he did. After all, they still had to deal with their assailants, and now both Salem and Eidolon seemed to have collapsed. But he knew he would be no use if he himself was injured. There was one small silver lining, though- the suddenly incredibly bright light illuminating the cellar almost to the same brightness as day and almost surprising him. So, he figured, whatever happened, at least they could see well enough now, which in his book was a plus, if only a very minor one.

[Corn]

Let's hope that works... Corn thinks and pulls the feather from Eidolon . He turns his blinding flashlight much closer to the ground to reduce the blinding light. He finds of great disconcert that the ghost mage can do whatever without paradox.
"Stop, we're..." he starts.

[Eidolon]

Eidolon groans again.

Not sure what to put, hopefully Corn removing the feather does not kill me.

[Salem]

Salem's body lays prone, his breathing shallow.
