Notes
- All times local to where the game was played.
gollark: As such, assuming I could do all the infrastructural setup, I can just set up the ritual thing very carefully, bait the chaos guardian into going near its area of effect, and then [REDACTED] it utterly.
gollark: Astral Sorcery has something which can freeze nearby mobs. It appears to work on chaos guardians.
gollark: So I don't like it, and I don't want to do the boring thing of making draconic armor and using its "literally unable to die" capabilities.
gollark: That was a rhetorical question which you were expected to answer in some way. Regardless, I will keep expositing.
gollark: Well, you know how DE has the chaos guardian, which is bad?
