If your idea was to bring the skulls into your favor by healing them and then casting bane on them, it's akin to giving someone an ice cream then slapping them in the face. They didn't appreciate the gesture.

Thank Goodness!

[Bear] In the midst of the forum shutdown, my computer fan started making noise on and off so I had to replace it for the third time. it's a 2 hour procedure involving the tiniest little cable connections that are a huge pain in the ass. Never getting a laptop again, nevertheless I have one and that's what I have until I don't.

Totally ignored Yulya helplessly watches the fight between Mormesk and the Spectator while Nezzner is able to do Nezzner things without facing resistance

The spectator's flaming skulls move to get a clear shot at Mormesk and fire rays of lightning bolt and fire bolt.
Mormesk dodges the rays and casts Greater Hedged Imprisonment.
A skeletal judge  appears from the negative plane sitting at a regal wooden desk engraved with macabre scenes of skeleton warriors and angels caught in epic battle. The spectator is restrained by spectral chains that glint in the cave lights that line the walls. The judge seems to be looking over dark ethereal paperwork and points a long boney finger at the Spectator. Though he says nothing audible, it's clear a conversation is occurring between them on another plane.
The judge pounds a ornate ebony gavel and both the judge and the Spectator are instantly teleported out of the material plane. Yulya can instantly tell that the barrier the Spectator has been maintaining is down. This means too that Nezzner has a chance to escape.

Yulya has never witnessed such high-tier magic and is just glad none of her party was the target. With the Spectator and his barrier gone there are 2 huge obstacles out of the way and Mormesk appears to have some reason left in his undead skull.  But Yulya wonders how the flaming skulls can still be active with their master gone.

You get a communication from Mormesk, "I presume you can handle this situation, I shall return soon to collect my payment as we previously agreed." He disappears without a trace.

Yulya sighs and shakes her head.
Dont let Nezzner escape! Focus everything on him!

Alice fixates Nezzner and prioritizes keeping him from using somatic or verbal commands. She tries stretching out his arms for Cat to cut off his rings.
With a focused and deft heavy blow Cat manages to lop off three of his rings. As the fingers separate from his body, you see one of them clearly attempting to heal before it falls helplessly to the ground, another instantly disappears to an unknown location using greater teleport, a third clings to life for a few moments before finally giving up the ring. As you can clearly see, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
With enough leeway to dodge, but at the disadvantage of Alice's grapple, Nezzner defies logic and avoids all damage from Yulya's attack!

Yulya clenches her fists
Impossible!


Yulya twins BANE (3 targets 30ft) with INFLICT WOUNDS amplifies it with the goblin staff and casts it on the two skulls and Nezzner.

Finding herself trapped between a zombie bulette and flaming skulls she nervously looks around in all directions to find some cover. Yulya remembers M3gan brought the girls to safety - but where? Yulya searches the area for a hidden passage or escapeway. If she finds none she retreats 30ft southwest seeking cover in a niche

I had a dream that when I comment on X, Grok would automatically generate a long ass movie about my comment. It felt real and I thought it might be a dream but it was believable.

This stems from a post on X where there was a shelf over a stairway and OP asked, what would you use this space for. I looked at the responses and I am not lying, hundreds of responses, ALL OF THEM, were AI generated art and movies of that space with something in it. This was real life.

I was like what kind of fresh hell is this? Where you have to actually do work to post a comment? I'm there for entertainment not to spend an hour generating and picking out a good picture about something as stupid as this?
