Turns out i have neglected to add my prof bonus to my attacks this whole time. Bother.

Whelp, I'm sure going forward you will remember!

Just want to say I'm having a lot of fun with the solo side of this. Really does feel souls-y in tone and exploration. Curious to see how cross-worlding will work.

I think Handle and I just found out!

It was never suppose to be a secret how the multiplayer aspect would work considering that when I first proposed the game I outlined the mechanic...
I even gave you the actual item from the game that lets you do this...

Right, but seeing how that would exactly translate into PbP wasn't certain as far as the specific details.

Oh yes I know, I mean how it'll actually play out once it starts happening (not the mechanics of it, but the feels).

Ah ok, well I'm sure you'll find out sooner or latter..

I know I could use help. Estus is low and the bastards are so hard to kill!
I am enjoying the solo side as well. Its grindy, but that's part of souls too. It's also helping me learn 5e as I consider my options and iron out mistakes.

I gather I need to draw a sign with the soap stone to be summoned from a place. Hrm, better start drawing then eh ? (I for some reason had the belief that it was other players calling for help that brought you in, not you volunteering from particular points) :P

I drew my first sign in an obscure location, I feel, so I went ahead and drew a second one. If I remember right, anywho. And yeah, I got those mixed up too, Candi. :P

Quick question, if I'm allowed to know:

So I have these souls from killing things, right? Are they like "soul of..." items in Dark Souls where they don't go away upon death, or are these the souls that vanish if I die? Can we recover them if we get back to the point we died at? If I use them for experience, and then I die, do I lose a portion of them, or are those "saved"? If this was answered somewhere else and I just missed it, I'm sorry :P I just already know I want to use the souls for exp and I'm trying to see if it's better that I keep them in their current form or go ahead and use them for exp.

So the soul items you have are currently occupying the dual roll of "soul of..." items that don't go away on death and the souls that vanish if you die. Though I haven't said it any where I might as well reveal my intentions, as it may effect the way you play. When you convert souls to XP that is fix, you don't loose it on death, but you also cannot trade with it. When you die, you drop half the souls in your inventory, (where half the souls needs to approximate half the XP value of your inventory as well.) But you will never loose unique souls (anything that drops from a non-respawning enemy), and in general I will be doing half rounds down.

If you can return to the point you last died, you recover any souls you dropped, but as in the original, this only is true for the last time you died, any souls you had dropped 'despawn' if you die before you get there.

Got it! Thank you! Do we have to be at a bonfire to use "Soul of..." souls, or can we use them anywhere?

At first I was going to say just consume it, but as that would allow you to level away from a bonfire... You use them by offering the souls to a bonfire (similar to the way you use humanity).

Sounds good! Thanks!

Sorry guys I've been busy the past few days, a couple of concerts and a funeral. I'll post responses tomorrow morning (~9 hours from now...)

It was an honor fighting alongside you, Sir Tosti.
