Is there any reason mage lore shouldn't be working? Awwwww, it's not vital. I'll just give up.

So Ormus's editor makes my screen all black and unreadable when I use it, and as mentioned there ain't nodes for any of those things. I AM STYMIED GRRR

So in Emulations there's a sequence where you fight Ramahl and if you die you are immediately ressurected. So I thought I would use the idea. The party in my scenario pulls a lever, activating a timer that makes increasing waves of monsters to attack them until they die, in which case they are ressurected and the monsters are gone. In theory. In practice the party just dies. I'm checking whether they're dead or not by giving everyone 1 Mage Lore and checking every turn to see if the party has at least 1 Mage Lore. If they don't, cue node sequence. Except that just doesn't fire. If I had to guess, I would say that the party dies before the timer is checked. How do you do this? Does anyone have a node sequence to use?
