Clean run through CD lat night, up to Helchgam. Tinuelle, Bigen, Rendalas, Ballador, and Glorindor came. Defeated Helchgam first try with no deaths.

Easiest (albeit slowest) way to kill Helchgam is to work pillar to pillar, killing all the tentacles. Ignore the pillars he pulls down to himself until the LAST one. Once the last one falls, run out onto it and kill Helchgam. Not the most exciting way to do it, but it's definitely the safest.

Also learned that Helchgame occasionally drops Auger. I'd never seen this one before. Ballador won the roll for it (well, he was also the only one that rolled, since he was the only one in the group that would have used it. ).
