Dark Souls: A Wanderer's Journey. (KnightVanilla)

Situation roll: 6
Result: Black Knight Sneak Attack!

Just as you reach the location of the knight, you turn the corner only to see the black knight.. Right in front of you! In a slowed sense of time, you notice that the armor is.. Empty. There's no-one inside, but that doesn't change his iron grip on your wrist as he grabs onto your sword hand and squeezes, trying to make you drop your weapon.
Alinara has, by this point, run away, and is just turning around to begin casting magic.

Aria does her best to pull herself away from the black knight kicking him away so Alinara could send a bolt right at the damn guy. As she tried her best to just stay alive now conisdering just how dangerous this thing probably was

Perhaps because you have another person to worry about, or maybe because you just don't like this enemy, you bring a sudden shield slam directly into the crotch of the armor. Even though it doesn't make sense that it should work, work it does, and the knight easily falls to a magic hit and a well placed Scimitar blow.

Now nothing blocks you from exploring the area that the knight guarded.

Continuing onward Aria tried to see what the knight had been guarding collecting whatever it was and continued to follow the path to whatever it may lead. Hopefully they would find another human soon. Aria was starting to feel lonely in... a different kind of way as she remembered what the creature that had raped her did.

[Earthsage]

As you walk forward, you notice Alinara seems to stick very close to you.. And you feel as though she might be able to sate your loneliness, if you were truly desperate enough. She seems.. Very comfortable around you now.

At the end of the hallway the knight-ghost stood guard at, you see a treasure chest and a staircase leading down.

For now she would motion Alinara to keep some distance from her just in case there was an ambush as she would venture a little bit ahead so she could investigate what the knight had been guarding. Making sure she was in eye sight of her friend.

[Earthsage]

You see a simple, unadorned chest at the end of the hallway, something that might contain something that could help you on your way. Or.. It could be trapped? you don't know.
You don't feel like there are any monsters waiting in the hallway. They might be down the stairway..

For now she would open the chest and continue onward. Knowing full well that maybe there might be a threat that Alinara shouldn't be caught in. Continuing her path she just hopes she can make it to the bonfire with her

[Earthsage]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Situation roll: 19
Result: No Ambush.

You open the chest, which is almost boring as it has no traps or problems with it. Inside, you find a long, straight blade of a make you can't recall.. It seems to be better made than your admittedly shoddy Scimitar.

The chest is otherwise empty...
You don't think it would be prudent to leave behind such a weapon as this, even if it's not good, just behind. You can carry it with you and decide which one to use later.

You could either go back and explore the upper reaches of this area, or go down the stairs.

For now heading up seemed to be a much better idea rushing through as she keeps her weapons on hand and putting this new item away for later use or whatever she may find need of it. Rushing herself and her friend so they could make it to the next bonfire without trouble hoping that they could and would make it without too much to burden them.

[Earthsage]

Your search for the bonfire leads you to two options. You could follow a winding staircase upwards, trying to see where it would lead, or continue dodging through houses along a city street. You aren't sure if either will take you close to a bonfire, but as it stands those are the only places to go.

For now heading up the stairs seemed like the best option motioning for her friend to follow she tries and hopes that a bonfire will make its appearence soon rather than later.

[Earthsage]

You begin the treck upwards, Alinara holding tight to you as the staircase has no railing. You feel like something .. Strange, may happen at the top of this meandering climb.

Walking higher up she decides to keep her weapon at the ready. Hoping that maybe that she would just be able to figure out a way to not only protect her friend but find a sanctuary for the both of them.

[Earthsage]

As you reach the top of the staircase, you notice two things. One, these roofs are infested with hollows, and two, you see a way up further.. Even to a chamber in one of the bridge supports. Maybe something there will be helpful! But first, you'll have to deal with the three hollows standing in your way. One has a Crossbow, the other two have swords and shields.

[KnightVanilla]

For now though she trecks back intending on finding what may be back at the houses seeing that her friend may not want to just fight quite yet.

[Earthsage]

On your approach to the housing district, Alinara stops you for a moment to speak.
"Aria.. Th-there are really dangerous things in the city. Giant boar creatures.. And a lot of dark clothed Hollows tried to jump me. I was running from there when I encountered that.. Thing. Do.. Do you really want to go through here?"
Alinara will follow you, no matter your decision, but you consider it good that you were warned of the dangers of this place..
Perhaps you should heal if you decide to go forward.

We'll figure something out." She said taking a drink from her flask then went back to the tower. Tracking back to kill the three hollow and continue upward to the tower.

[Earthsage]

You make your way back up to the three hollows. they haven't changed position, and still stare lifelessly into the distance.. Although that will change, once you move forward and attract their attention.

Maybe your magical friend could shoot one of the Armored Hollows, or focus on the Hollowed Archer up the path while you defend her?
Or some other crazy scheme.
The choice is yours.
(Alinara took a chug of Estus with you.)

Telling her friend to attack the enemies once she has gathered their attention. Aria charges forward intent on dealing death to these fiends.
