The Soldier and The Priest

Your strike catches the hollow square in the side, a blow that would not have bested a more capable foe, but still sufficient. It falls to the ground.Romuald lifts his holy symbol and calls forth sacred flames from the earth. The hollow takes the scalding damage but survives lunging towards Yaro, slaming into him with his fists

Your counter strike is ferocious, the blow nearly slicing the hollow in two.The threat seems to have past, but the long walk to the church remains.

You recall that in these lands souls are used as currency. But you can also consume them to strengthen yourself (read consume to get xp, though you didn't roll well enough to know how much without trying)

As you arrive at the bonfire, you see a Mage and a knight, but the quickly fade to spirits. In the lands of Legrion time is convoluted you all know this, such a chance meeting surely marks you all as fated. Spitting embers from the bonfire touch a small stone stick, infusing it with power.

You both gain a white sign soapstone, which allows you to put down summoning signs, which allow other players to join your solo thread to help with fights. Successfully being summoned will grant reward.

The doors to the undead church stand before you. Two hollow stand guard over the entry.
