Messengers of Velka Rise.

I swear if I don't get on tomorrow I'm going to lose it. It is time to start hunting again!

To be honest Iris the LD in me is jealous of how well this covenant is doing. You've got good cohesion going and I wish i could say the same about Lordran's Deliverance. Im doing really well as an LD; my average is about ten ears every hour. But because SunlightCrusader is on so infrequently, its hard to get a lot of buzz going. Im almost rank five in the LD cov but Sunlight hasn't been on to update my status within the covenant so technically im still just an enforcer. Its been difficult getting ears for this covenant because im trying to stay true to my Tarkus cosplay but Im very limited by what tarkus cannot do. If only Sunlight was on more often the LD's and the MV's might be able to work together to achieve the same goal.

So much sadness

Hugh: Chameleon is a great spell, very fun to use. I have a sorcerer ninja that uses it. Maybe we could practice parry's in the burg. I'm trying to learn as well.

Soris: Glad you are eager for blood. I am hungry for ears as well.

Renegade: That's good.

Luvs2fight: You shouldn't be jealous LD is much larger.

Larger but with more inactive members. Right now the only really active members are halicarnassis and myself. I have never met forum pirate or vatar5. Soris ive met on the forum but never in game. Sunlight is MIA alot. I tried to get Hugh to join after we made peace but he wanted a covenant more like this one. I should probably try to contact Vatar and Pirate in game, you know take some initiative. Unfortunately I don't know if they even know we are in the same covenant.

On the plus side, Reim says he wants to join but unless Sunlight gets on to give the okay reim wont officially be a member no matter how awesome he is.

Also Soris, if your reading this what rank are you in LD? If your still enforcer then I should out rank you once Sunlight acknowledges me. Then I'll get to boss YOU around.

At least as an LD, but you'll still be able to order me around when Im an MV.

I'm definitely up for some parry practice, Swordiris. And we can duel with the SL ~100s, too. Though, my 120 will put up a better fight. We'll have to have ~120s go at it, as well.

I didn't get to do too much with chameleon, though, I'll try more tomorrow. I did manage to hit the century mark in the forest. And I had a few interesting kills including a funny one against a would be clever guy: link.

Alright we will practice parrying.

Not now though, my family is passed out asleep, the game will disturb them.

I want in on the parry practice, I need to start doing it if I want to improve.

Ive got the counter BS down pat and Im pretty good at the parry counter but I have no skill in doing parries of my own. PM me letting me know when yall intend to practice.

Sure thing.

Want to do it tomorrow but have work at 3 PM

Depends when I get off and all that.

Okay just got my tenth ear from Tomb of the Giants. Please +1 cuz that ish took all day. I didn't start making any real progress till I got my endurance high enough to mid roll with Tarkus's gear on AND the talisman of velka. Tarkus cant use it without messing up the build but I carry it to make sure Im following covenant rules.

I went to Lost Izalith to get the Sunlight Maggot for the Tomb and decided to do some invading. It was actually surprisingly quick there. I got 4 kills in a row all against japanese players. They probably weren't expecting to get invaded in LI and thus didn't come prepared for PvP. Dem ears is tasty

Honestly, you don't HAVE to wear something Velka related. I know it is in the rules but I'm thinking of changing that myself or editing it to where gwyndolin items will suffice.

I don't want to make any rules that could possibly hurt our purging of sinners.

For example my new SL 30 idea for the messengers is right here and doesn't have a Velka item.

The sinner hired a dark one to help kill me but they died to their sin. Good day but I need more ears, I ended up getting invaded more though most died.

Tomorrow, I'll do some invasions with my SL 100 and get my SL 30 build started.

Soris, try invading Butterfly garden. Interesting location I've noticed.

I didn't get on 'til late today so it was a low volume day for me. I did kill two hard-core forest gankers with next to nil for help. A forest bro was sniping arrows when I got there and came in to help me late and died almost immediately (sometimes it saddens me that they get to wear blue, too). I also managed to off a few reds in Ariamis and in the garden before we got the parry practice going (thanks to sword & luvz, btw). I surprised a couple guys with the CSS outta chameleon, but the one guy who ran right up to me never touched me! So the chameleon experiment is going well.

I killed two gankers in the butterfly garden.

The phantom casts Twop trying to slow me down but I had crystal soulmass out. It hit him for 1600 damage. He runs to heal, I catch up and BS him killing him. Host couldn't estus fast enough.

The host does a jump attack at me and I use Dark Beat hitting him for 2043 damage killing him instantly.

Felt sweet.

I feel like my invasions are going to be a late night thing. Day time ones net me too many tanks for my taste. Starting to annoy me get and study is showing that they have the personalities of jack*** and killing them is actually making me mad due to the fact that half the time I'm barely trying when I do kill them.

I think there would be some good action there. Me and X just ran into them by accident. But, my point stands. Would it be good to try here? I host, so invaders come into my world, and Soris or someone else could intervene, and fight them.

Remember you need ears for points, you'd have to invade.

Same tactics while hosting though, sinners get no mercy.

I think we should keep the use of Velka items as a covenant rule. Velka's talisman is really light so its easy to carry around without it getting in the way. The thing about carrying around an item with connection to Velka is more of a Roleplay thing than anything else. It lets people know who we are or at the very least reminds us as messengers of velka who we are fighting for. Overall I think that having something Velka related on your person at all times SHOULD remain a covenant rule.

My two cents on the issue.

I've got a SL 100 Darkmoon build. It would be an honor to fight alongside fellow messengers. My PSN is Jwebby6.

Welcome to the forum, first of all. Sword will have to officially accept you into our ranks, but you'll be very welcome here too.

I dunno. Im a little skeptical. Didn't I see you on the Lordran's Deliverance page trying to apply there? You never posted back after I responded to you. Not up to me if you join, but Im a bit dubious as to your intentions.

I'll be watching you, whelp. :suspect:

@Luvz2fight My intentions are simple: to kick some ***. On the LD page it said you were on Xbox, so we couldn't have dueled. And the leader never responded to me. This one seems more active, so I decided to give it a try. I'm having the same problem with a dragon covenant I'm trying to join: nobody is respondeding to my application. Hell, ill join both this covenant and LD

@Hugh Thanks!

Congratulations on joining our ranks Jweeby. I'll add you.

What type of build are you running?
