Game Thread: Tosti Hakisson

Tosti looks around the stone circle for anything that sticks out, and then greets the knight.

"Greetings, I am Tosti of Hvall. What brings you to this mysterious land?"

"It's not strange, as I'm in a similar predicament. The hollows have no end here, so I'm sure you'll get your wish eventually."

Tosti eyes the large stone structure in the distance.

"What do you know of these lands? I've only just arrived and I'm not sure which roads to take."

"Ooh, you are well informed! I'll be on my way then, I'm sure we'll meet again. Before I go, is there anything i can do for you? I'm gifted in the art of healing, though I can't remember who taught me."

Tosti takes the black sprite, and makes a mental note to inspect closely when he gets a chance.

"Gallek and Thander, I'll pray for you. Thank you for the gift, I'll repay you the next time we meet!"

Something in Tosti's muddled mind urges him to head for the burial mound, so that's the direction he heads.

Tosti continues down the pathway slowly, being careful of any ambushes or signs of life. He especially keeps an eye out for landmarks or rest areas, in case there are other travelers.

Tosti attempts to study the area before acting. He wants to find out how the gate opens, and if there are other ways inside.

Not seeing any other way in, Tosti takes a breath and charges for the gate.

After sprinting to the gate, he stops to pull out the bolt that hit.

One of these days I'll learn...

He pulls it out with a grimace, and then pushes the heavy gate wide enough for him to fit.

While under the gate, Tosti mutters a quick prayer and places his free hand on his chest. His wounds are healed by divine power, and he soldiers on. He tries to make it up the ladder before the hollows have time to reload, but they easily nail him with bolts.

Tosti takes the hit and attacks the nearest crossbowman. He instinctively lets out a war cry, but doesn't quite recall what it means.

(Typically, the paladins of the Ancient Order will shout the name of the god of nature and war, Tyr. Screaming 'Tyr owns ye' or 'Back to Tyr' is also common since it is believed that Tyr is the source of all life, and killing someone just means you are sending their light back to him.)

"BACK TO TYR, HOLLOW!"
