Elder Blood Witcher 65 Charred Gold

Solaire "That's quite a large fellow I spy inside..."

Reima "He's quite easy, it's the sorcerer that waits on the second floor that is the problem... I'll take the sorcerer out and you keep the giant knight busy?"

Solaire "I like this plan, my sun will s.h.i.+ne brighter with each confrontation!"

Solaire sprints inside and throws a lightning bolt at the 9ft tall knight while Reima follows closely behind and blinks to the second floor behind the Channeler, as he's about to stab it in the back he gets. .h.i.t across the back with a broken sword. Stumbling forwards alerts the Channeler to his presence and it teleports to another position on the second floor before charging up magic bolts to shoot at him. Reima who only just now remembered the large group of hollows that a.s.sist the spell caster grumbles to himself and casts a large Igni which light the room up and turns them all to ash.

A spell hits him in the back but instead of the piercing pain that normal projectiles give it feels like an attack directly on his soul, like someone had just sucker punched it somehow...

He uses Quen which luckily blocks the next soul arrow and teleports behind it again, with no distractions he manages to fully sheath Arcell in it's back. It quickly disappears as he looks down to see Solaire's battle and grins as he is about to back-stab it. It also vanishes into dust but the souls go to Reima for some reason?

After the fight Reima takes the loot from the big knight before also taking the fire-keeper soul from the alter in middle of the room.

The climb the stairs and Reima asks Solaire to wait by the ladder as he has something he needs to check out...

Reima fights his way through various knights and eventually finds the cell to a certain golden p.r.i.c.k...

Lautrec "Oh, still human are you? Then I am in luck. Could you help me? As you can see I am stuck, without recourse."

Reima grins "No, I don't believe I will..." He says as he starts forming an Igni sign.

Lautrec gets a bad feeling and tries to move but suddenly feels agonising burning pain, his whole cell has been set aflame and is slowly eating at his body. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He screams and starts rolling around on the floor but as it's also on fire, he doesn't manage to relieve himself. "WHY! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!?!"

Reima "It's not what you did, but what you'll do. Good bye Lautrec." He gives the man another blast of concentrated fire before collecting the 5 humanity, ring of favour and relatively large amount of souls.

Reima rejoins Solaire he seems confused, "I heard screaming, I trust you didn't have any trouble?"

Reima shakes his head "No, just a rat that I had to deal with.. It was disturbingly human-like..."

Solaire nods "I understand, though why rat's can reward humanity when defeated We'll never know."

Both undead make their way up the ladder and stand in-front of the fog-gate.

Reima "Right, there should be two up here.. So try to kill the first one as quick as possible... They also shoot fire occasionally so be cautious."

Solaire nods as they both drop out of the doorway that for some reason sits a meter above the floor... A ma.s.sive gargoyle with tail that resembles an axe jumps down and starts growling at them.

It swings it's large axe in their vague direction... Reima is unsure what it is trying to achieve...

Solaire charges up a large lightning bolt before throwing it, it strikes the chest of the gargoyle which makes it stumble back. Taking this chance Reima blinks behind it and slams Arcell down on it's tail which instantly severs it, he dodging out of the way of it's flailing hand while not forgetting to store the tail in his Folded s.p.a.ce.

The Gargoyle breaths fire at Solaire while waving it's hand behind it to hopefully stop Reima's advance, He ignores this and jumps onto it's back while getting a grip of it's wing, he performs his trademark, stab it until it stops moving technique which results in it's death before it's brother can even hit the roof. The second gargoyle starts spitting large flames at Reima who surrounds himself in a Quen s.h.i.+eld while Solaire deal with it. He doesn't have much trouble due to the gargoyle full attention being on burning Reima alive and the undead rather easily beat the gargoyle bosses.

Solaire "Well done Sir Ludvig! That was some jolly cooperation if I do say so myself!"

Reima "Yeah, you too Solaire. Shall we ring the bell?"

He nods as the two ascends to the top of the tower and ring the bell causing it to echo throughout the surroundings.

Solaire "So... What now?"

...

Reima "Now... We try make our way through the most unpleasant part of Lordran... The sewers..."
