(what Catapult are you talking about?)
I load a ballista bolt etched with explosive runes into the ballista. (from the new Rune Scribe/Rune magic from the Unearthed Arcana Playtest material. They are a combo of fire and wind runes)
I immediately shout, "He's escaping the dimensional prison, but I don't know how, nor where he's going!" to my allies, then cast greater invisibility on myself, and move to a different location, beside the ballista.
you are now greatly invisible! its great! even, greater! you are now next to the ballista. also it wasn't a prison, it was a shield.
Hearing this, I also cast greater invisibility on myself and hide behind a convenient tree, watching the godmodder around the trunk.
that is a very convenient tree you have there! almost too convenient, since the last one got destroyed... oh well. you are now invisible and behind a tree for good measure.
I shift back to human form, landing face first onto the ground. Clearly shaken, I madly yell at the servitor, as if a lunatic.
I stand up, and stare in the general direction of the servitor, making sure to keep the basilisk out of my vision.

That's strange. when did Your sanity take a hit? I only saw Acerak get hit out of all the players. weird. OOC: I only noticed your white text when updating this time. also, I'm surprised you went to the trouble of finding the right code.

I load a ballista bolt etched with explosive runes into the ballista. (from the new Rune Scribe/Rune magic from the Unearthed Arcana Playtest material. They are a combo of fire and wind runes)
The Ballista is loaded with a more powerful bolt, with some level of homing, and firey AOE as well! I suppose you prepared explosive runes this morning.
End Of Round Reactions: The servitor's eyes are madly flickering between glowing red and not, but eventually calm... it attacks for 8 SAN damage to the Celestial bear. The Shoggoth flubs around, Reorienting itself. The Ballista sits there, Ready to fire on command. The sickbay sits, empty. The Celestial Bear Guards its young, Claws raking the nearby Servitor for 10 damage in retaliation. The Blink dog attacks the basilisk again. 16 damage. Basilisk can't reach the dog this time, and lunges at the Celestial bears young. its not even pretending to follow the Godmodder's orders any more... 2 young killed. Celestial bear enraged. The Cheshiremodder has left the shield. what's his gambit now? he could be anywhere... well, you might as well keep fighting till he returns... unless you think you know where he is?

I command the shoggoth to viciously attack the basilisk. While it does this, I run and hide in a ditch, trying to come up with some tactical knowledge.

You do those things! your tactical knowledge suggestion of the day is: This "guess who the Godmodder's hiding in" thing seems like a shell game, and you don't win a shell game by picking a Shell. the Con is thinking you get to chose a shell at all. This Tactical knowledge suggestion's accuracy was rolled on Random.org, with accuracy being more likely then not.
... You enter the Sickbay, invisible, impossible to notice but for a smallest of ripple in the entrance as you walked through. good thing the door was open... You look around. everything seems normal, far as you can tell. phantom doctors flit through the area, wondering what their next patient will be like as they wait. wait a second... One of them's Smiling! why is but one so different from the rest? This must be the Godmodder!... you ready for battle as discreetly as possible.
Summoning an illusionary clone of myself to run at the godmodder, I reply to the Servitor.
Bvh, R xzm fmwvihgzmw blf.
The Illusionary clones course of action is so vague, it is able to update on the realization that the Godmodder's probably in the sickbay! it runs towards there, and proceeds to do nothing, being mere illusion without mass.

End Of Round Reactions The Servitor of the outer gods is still looking at Naturewritter... SAN damage of a different flavour: It will affect you a maximum of once, then vanish. The sickbay operates as normal. The Celestial bear screams and Slashes at the basilisk, light of galaxys trailing behind its claws. 30 damage! the basilisk goes flying a short distance. Shoggoth dodges out of the way as the Basilisk lands in its acid puddle. +6 disintegration per turn. Blink dog bites the Basilisk. 8 damage. The Basilisk Turns Grey instead of red, and begins to enter the next stage of the fight. for now, its invulnerable, but y'all are going to be in for some pain when That's done

I aim my balista towards the sickbay, and etch some protection runes of my own making into the body of the ballista, making a spherical shield flicker into existence around it, preventing everything but air and light from entering, and nothing from leaving.

You do those things! too bad the sickbay entrance is a small dimensional distortion, which makes it hard to hit.
I scatter prodigious amounts of caltrops around the basilisk. I then try to Re-bind the servitor, promising it hard candies and Capri sun.
The Servitor thinks about it... and agrees, on the Condition that it also gets to eat all those Caltrops. Man are servitors weird. servitor of the outer gods summoned
(OOc: This is pretty much all I've done so far. Watch and wait. WATCHING AND WAITING INTENSIFIES.)
You watch and wait some more. GODMODDER: And the MoE makes plans for if you kShut up. do you want me to wreck the field again. GODMODDER: ...no... But you CaShush.
