Steps:
The day before our group did associate researcher expeditions 1-4. Our leader had acquired what we felt were key bonuses for the win including regain bonus level 3 from researcher expedition 2. The regain was in full effect during those runs. The next day we gathered again and entered expedition 5 to fight Dreyruk. Before anyone engaged, I immediately noticed our regain bonus was missing. I believe several bonuses were missing but that one was the most obvious to me. Missing vital bonuses, we barely lost the fight and we all wound up with blank books meaning weeks' worth of work (thanks to the delay of obtaining phermones) was gone! I was able to speak to GM Baccanale who suggested Dreyruk may have dispelled bonuses but the regain bonus was clearly missing before any of us engaged. It was also suggested we try again but losing weeks' worth of work again is not an attractive option. Please investigate this matter as I do not want to do more Meebles if key bonuses are not going to be present during boss battles. Of note: our leader with the regain bonus only had one grimoire so there was no chance he used a different one by mistake. A regain bonus that should have been present was absent.

Also should be noted that meeble bonuses CANNOT be dispelled (contrary to what GM said), regardless of if the mob can dispel or not.

I figured that would be the case. If a Meeble bonus could be dispelled, that would really suck. I enjoy Meebles and I hope this is addressed soon. What I took away from the GM was "sucks to be you but try it again and if it happens again, well, sucks to be you twice but at least now you are sure." He didn't say like that of course but that's the message I was receiving. He said he was not authorized to replenish our phermones or really give us anything for our frustration and trouble.
