Pontifex is a dr....?

Camembert set an ambush of traps and protected well before talking to Pontifex:

Yep, he was angry. Surely Camembert will be able to handle this little guy:

OH, NO! The guy transformed into the Lord of Cheese - the Yellow Dragon! And he started his attack with a time stop! Luckily Camembert survived the first attack:

He then ran towards his trap ambush but instead of the dragon a stupid Mordekainen sword followed him and took all the damage:

Pontifex had a gazzilion of protections and Camember needed to dispel them quickly. Yes, he got a good hit:

Now it was time for Camembert to stop time:

But the Lord of Cheese had a contingency plan for these situations! But not only that - he himself casted another Time stop and Camembert didn't count on that:

He had no problems destroying Camemebert without protections:

And so the story of no reloads ends.

(I haven't fought Pontifex for a long time and I forgot that he has 3 Time stops. And you need to be under Stoneskin or even better under PFMW to be able to survive his attacks, especially if he is Improve Hasted. I then reloaded and played him again and found out, that he is immune to Spike trap damage! So after a couple a reloads I finally won using PFMW before every Time stop and then using Time stop scroll, dispeling his protections with SoTM and GWW-ing him with Fulcrum and FOA.)

I decided to try and end SOA with Camembert and see how he fares against Jonny.

I must say it was an exciting game and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Since this cheese has totaly overwhelmed me I intend to return to my "Clean NRL" but with even more restrictions. No Fury, no FOA, no Carso, No SoTM, no DoE, no Vecna, ...
