"I'll try to help, and i will test what happens too"
Drain electricity from a beholder, any of them that attacks Skelliborn (or any beholder that attacks Gambler, if no beholder attacks Skelliborn), or choose at a random beholder if no beholder attacks. Then move the electricity to another beholder following the conditions above.
1 +1/+1 essence, 1 +1/+2 essence.
((Aah vacation))
Is the stiletto lodged in Skelliborn?
If so:
Extract it with a minimum of internal-injury-making. Apologize profusely. GOTO Else.
Else:
Attempt to stand up, and attack again. Far more cautiously this time.
If the beholder is distracted and is not going to attack me or Skelliborn, try to help Skelliborn.
((Truly coded version here.))
Argh. It appears that I have been wounded. But that does give me some inspiration.
Gambler, would it be ok if I moved the eternity to another dimension until we're safe?
Skeliborn
Action:
Assuming Gambler doesn't speak up, place the antigravity eldritch throwing knives in a pentagram shape surrounding the eternity. Once the pile of eternity is through, remove the throwing knives. (If the portal forms, gravity should cause the eternity to fall into the other world, which since it has no atmosphere at the moment, shouldn't be an easily livable place for life.)
If Gambler speaks up, throw the flaming toothpick sword into the Beholder's eye instead.
{Sorry about that. Yesterday was rather bussy.}

Beholder, seeing itself injured, surrounded and outnumbered, roared and rose about three meters in the air. There, its secondary eyes began glowing white and beams of light ravaged the land below. Eterna managed to escape unscathed, but was forced to vacate the throne as one of the beams washed over it. Gambler fared only slightly worse, edges of his robe were singed but he was otherwise fine. Skeliborn, lying prone on the ground, didn’t have enough time to move after Gambler rolled off him. Several beams cut into him, leaving charred flesh and smell of steak. As Skeliborn was lying on the ground unmoving in hopes that the pain will stay merely excruciating if he did, Eterna moved in to take revenge for being dethroned. Sparks of lightning gathered around the beholder, before discharging, dragging out what passed for instructions to its organs, leaving beholder floating innert in the air. The electricity had to go somwhere though, and despite Eterna's best attempts at routing it to ground {that was the last beholder}, electricity coursed down through him, leaving Eterna twitching on the ground and doubling up on the smell of burning meat. Gambler was left alone, and his attack was brutal but uncomplicated, burrying his stilleto holding arm to the elbow in beholders central eye and twisting his arm around until the creature fell to the ground lifeless. Pool of unindentifiable goop next to them began bubling in foreboding way again.
{Skeliborn, heavily burned, END roll for any roll requiring action besides casting. (You can still travel without rolls 1 hex at a time.)}
{Dest Eterna, Paralyzed, 2 turns}
