The mannequin could turn against the party at any moment and attack them. Alternatively, he could also have a real person under mind control fulfilling that role.And there should be lots of theatricality! Make him a true show man, full of himself, and hogging all the attention. Like a true Tommy Wiseau, he has written himself as the perfect hero of his own story. Its even funnier if he also can't act, and is terrible at delivering lines.The sets themselves could all be constructed on a giant dial, that rotates to show a new room and setting during the battle, while other pieces of set dressing are lowered from the ceiling. Imagine a scene at sea, with a boat and pirates, and the illusionist as the dashing hero. While wooden cutouts of sharks try to attack the players. Next it could switch to a castle set, with a giant wooden cutout of a dragon blasting real magical fire (a spell) at the players, and a pit of wooden lava (that has the effect of real lava, if the players believe the illusion). Then it could switch to a jungle temple, with animated wooden apes attacking the players, and real traps, with the illusionist playing the part of a daring adventurer with a whip. Lastly, it could end as a tribute to Phantom of the Opera, with the illusionist as the Phantom of course.</blockquote>
