"A common tactic for producing smart defenses is to take an impression of a real creature's essence to imprint in the spell. The advantage is a more intelligent golem produced very quickly that can learn. The disadvantage is that they keep to the habits of the source creature. If this is the case here.... Hmm, that next head looks like a male...."
"Belle Lézarde Faux"
At Jack's words, an (illusionary) scintillating dragoness enters the room from behind the party, and walks up to the next head along the line. Noticing that the head is thoroughly distracted, Narp cuts it off with his sword, and D dispells it.

Noticing its fallen companion, the final head successfully disbelieves the illusionary dragoness, and it fades away.

"That obviously won't work again. What to do with the third?"

Quick cutscene to the mage in his lair. The image is now much fuzzier. Watching the scene, the mage mutters to himself
"Interesting solution."

Back to the party...
"Hey - that next skeleton has a book...."
Jack quickly retrieves it with a levitation spell, and glances at the cover; the title reads Zeitliche Justagen.
"A book on time bending! This should be a good read."

Jack then quietly checks the book for curses. Finding none, he hides it in a pocket of his robes.

ooc:[Sounds like a decent plot.]

ooc:[It might not be Silly Putty - that is a brand name for an odd substance that will act like rubber if you act quickly on it, but can be readily molded. I also remember seeing a form that came in a pan which was much more liquid (it was also white in color). It's difficult for me to say which.]

ooc:[Sorry about giving your character actions, but he is the only one with a cutting weapon; D has only cast two different spells in this thread - dispel and a light spell on his staff - and my character has said he has no offensive spells yet - that pretty much leaves your sword.]
