Immortal gnome skeletons in ak'anon!
 

so i started myself a wee necromancer and i went over to the necromancer gm and handed in my note... got my BA off yellow robe and went to go beat the crap out of a level 1 decaying gnome skeleton. It didn't go very well. Well i decided that it was probably messed up but that i would come back and check it out in a few levels, So i come back at level four and this happened.

Rofl. NPCs socially buff each other. It must have pathed by the enchanter guildmaster and gotten Rune.

If you kill a gnome skeleton near the necro guild master, he'll kill you for it.

You have to be careful fighting skeles down there. Firstly as Nocte posted, the necro GMs will kill you if they see you. Secondly as you found out, the NPCs are buffing those decaying skeles as they pass by.

What you have discovered are Immortal skeletons. They cannot die unless you take their head... and with it... their power. In the end there can be only one.

Pff... they had over 1000 health probably. my pet with his whacked out regen was fighting that one skeleton for over 10 minutes.... hitting it for 7 damage Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many Many times....

If you have dispel magic, you should be able to strip them of their buffs.
