Game Thread: Malethor

The heavily armoured figure recalls from you Attack, it’s stance broken by your strikes for a moment, though it quickly steadies itself and spins around it’s heavy axe in a wide arc.

The flames engulf the behemoth but it seems to resist the fire somewhat, bringing up its arm red hot sparks fly as it bats away your blade with its open palm. But you quickly turn your blade about and drive it into the heavily armored warrior filling it with malice. The monstrous armoured figure falls to the ground and crumples into ash. You absorb a Legrion Tortoise Knight Soul and the way to the tent city is now clear...

As you continue forth no enemies bar your way, but a sound penetrates the din as you enter the tent city, the slamming of steel on steel somewhere deeper in the encampment. In that direction of a puff of smoke rises above the tents, though the bonfire is close at hand as well.

You rest at the bonfire, the fire restores your flesh, though your stead and minions fade as your rest. The sound of strikes still resound around the tents, though as you sit at the bonfire you have a chance to look over your gains...

Estus Flask. The Undead treasure these dull green flasks. Fill with Estus at bonfires, and drink to restore HP. The journey of an Undead has always traced the bonfires, and no journey of import has been made without an Estus Flask.

Humanity. This black sprite is called humanity, but little is known about its true nature. If the soul is the source of all life, then what distinguishes the humanity we hold within ourselves? Offer to the bonfire to reverse the effects of Hollowing.

Fading Soul. The fading soul of a lost Undead who has gone Hollow and still. Offer to a bonfire to gain 100xp or for trading. The soul is the source of all life, and even in undeath, or hollowing, the mind seeks souls.

Almian Legionnaire Soul. These soldiers from a distant land marched against the Firekeep at the command of those who would end the age of fire. Offer to a bonfire to gain 150xp or for trading.

Legrion Tortoise Knight. The king of the Firekeep clad his strongest warriors in heavy plate and equipped them with weapons no normal man could carry. Their lack of manuverability was the inevitable end to these iron juggernauts. Offer at a bonfire to gain 1400xp or use for trading.

Cracked Red Eye Orb. Invade another world. (Hollows cannot use the item) Defeat the master of the world you have invaded to acquire humanity. The Cracked Red Eye Orb allows the undead to temporarily imitate this ability normally limited to the Darkwraiths of Kaathe.

Again the crystal shards come forth from the ground and Phrixos stands before you awaiting your command. After passing a few tents following the sound you arrive at a small clearing, where a figure stands hunched over an anvil. As you approach he looks up and acknowledges you but never stops hammering the steel in front of him.

The Smith seems to be at the end of the process of flattening a long bar, after a time he starts to work in the fold, his furious hammering keeping the metal hot. It is after a surprisingly long time that the Smith feels the need to quench the bar in oil, as he goes to heat the bar anew over the divine embers he shouts out to you, showing clear signs of loosing his hearing If you want to stand their and watch me finish this blade you’ll be there for a while, the have a habit in the distant lands to fold their steel a lot. What can I do for you?
