Now he is sitting in my head, trying to convince me to doo reeeeeeeeeally bad things (poke the paladin, kill the priest, poke the paladin agian...). until now i used sentences like " Shut up, if you talk to me!" and stuff like that to keep him quiet but now my sayings run out... Any ideas? Secondly there is somekind of problem with the paladin and his detect evil stuff. what can i do to not reaveal whats up with me?
Wtf,k? 06-27-06, 11:06 AM	... voluntarily? Let the paladin smite his ass. He deserves it.
Andi1 06-27-06, 11:07 AM	hey he promisd me power-AND i kept his promise (Prereq. for a PRC)
zlatko 06-28-06, 10:49 AM	Yup, smite it. Oh, it's in your head? Don't worry you won't feel a thing. Ever again. Dealing with the devil kinda asks for it don't you think? It being evil and all?

He would certainly make an issue of it but he would not murder his long-term friend and comrade in cold blood just because of a tainted aura. Chances are that he would go about organising an exorcism. As for role-playing possession, try snapping in character and apologising straight away. Point at someone or gesture, then look at your hand as though surprised at it and pull it away with a worried expression. Keep the fact that it was voluntary away from the paladin. He will insist on an exorcism, but will have very little patience for any resistance on your part.
Andi1 06-28-06, 03:52 PM	well thanks for the idea with the spell... the demon is kind of "strange"(for a demon). I'm pretty sure my DM did never touch one of the "demonic"books (BoVD...) And well, the paladin(a DM-PC) is now a little bit kocked out by some really strange geas... he succed to not fall under it (by making the job undoable and killing the lich who did it) but now hes down for a couple of sessions.

What if there was no demon, you were just going crazy? You are hearing voices. The voices are telling you to do things that you don't want to do. Sometimes they come from your head, sometimes they sound to you as if they came from someplace else, and sometimes...they sound like your own thoughts. So you can deal with the first one by saying shut up really loud. What about the second version. Maybe the demon throws his voice (in effect) and models his voice after a party member or an NPC, and calls you a copmlete moron. Or tells you to do something stupid in battle as one of the other party members, so that you will think that they tried to get you killed. Pretty soon, you would be very skeptical of anybody saying anything to you. You would need to watch their mouths to make sure that they are actually speaking. Or what if they sound like your own thoughts. Was that dirty thought mine? Did I really just think about killing the paladin to stop him from finding out about me, or was that the demon talking. You would start to be completely unsure about yourself, never really sure if what you had thought was what you thought you thought. I mean, if what you thought you thought, might not be what you thought you thought you thought, or wasn't a thought you thought you usually thought, then was the thought you thought you thought really just a thought thought to throw your thoughts, or was the thought your thought thought because the thought was well thought. After all that, I know I would be unsure of myself. -Nobody

Seek out help, tell people your hearing voices, perhaps look for assistance from a church of some sort. For your sanity's sake it would do you and your whole party a world of good. Thats all I have to say on the subject.
