Feel free to kill Tell's puppet at this point, Nav. I admit I'd like enough time for Tell to get some last words off and do the whole "thrice cursed" routine, but if Caliavannas has the power and pragmatism to end this quickly (pretty reasonable considering all it takes is a scratch on the puppet and moving past some weakly controlled crystal balls) I'd accept that as well. Your call!

If Syrathan would like to do something now that Tell has attacked, however weakly, you might want to mention it as well Matt.

Okay, idea for the future of this stuff. Posted at midnight, when the ideas are dumb and the grammar is the worst.

1) I was operating under the assumption Vanyusha still had access to his human form, though I now assume from Van's statements that he no longer has access to that. Which makes sense, considering his condition.

2) For the future, I had an idea wherin Tell uses a puppet to walk up to the Justice Hall and starts yelling about Caliavannas until a battlemage shows up and kills the puppet. Tell would then try to follow Caliavannas around and get him to walk through his crazy door into the astral plane, using the battlemages as the reason for going through.
Tell's hope would be that the battlemages eventually force Cali into a position where he has little choice but to accept Tell's offer or perish at the battlemage's hands. Plenty of room for things to go awry for all parties involved.

As Jason is the only one with a battlemage at the moment, He'd be the obvious choice as far as getting a battlemage character involved.
