That goes for voting on last week's submissions as well. We have ballots from Paragon, Soris, Godzilla and myself so far.
Dark AL, yet againI bring the stairs up and go to cast HCSM and face my character away from the stairs, just in case.
I turn around to leave the ball in his court and he keeps his distance, ok I'll leave him alone for now. I go to hit the switch to take the stairs down and 4 soul masses fire at him from across the gap -- LOL. It's cool, he dodges 'em and seems understanding. The stairs glitch out and he stays in midair while the stairs go down.
I make my way down the stairs and bump into another red actually; we kinda run right by each other… or, wait is that him did he run down and it was a glitch only on my screen? It doesn't look like him, but how often do you see two reds as a blue in dark Anor Londo? I back off cautiously, he bows and yes -- two reds. The other red shows up. I'm just trying to kill the host and all this weird stuff keeps happening. I leave them to figure it out and go looking for the host. I continue down the stairs and see him by the switch outside the Darkmoon Tomb bonfire room w/HCSM cast. Both reds follow me, so I peel off at the bottom of the stair case and put my back against the wall. I don't like the idea of taking on two reds with my back towards the host. The reds are kinda confused, too understandably. Eventually they end up taking each other on. The fight drifts up the stairs… I begin eyeing the host. The first red dies, however.
I back off again to avoid becoming the middle man again. The second, surviving red, has on the Artorias helm and some medium weight armor (I can't tell exactly in the dark) approaches me while two-handing a zweihaender. 'Oh, no! But, I'm just a poor little mage, what ever shall I do?' Well typically, I two-hand my MLGS and stun-lock him to death off the strength of my 92 poise.
The host was not much of a match for me, he didn't have an answer for my MLGS at close range after I dodged his casts. I hit a few R1s and when he backed off he tried to go to the clutch move: dark bead spam. I dodged a couple and backed of a bit then traded a CSS with his dark bead. It didn't go so well for him.
I'm double-dipping with the :blueorb: and the covenant ring at the Solaire bonfire in AL. I get a SoV invasion from the orb; cool those are rare. It's fun fighting the questers! Oops... dark AL -- I used to detest dark AL and I've come to like it very much and it's my go to spot for invasions. However, invading it with the orb is not my preference. I spawn and see "summoning phantom" immediately. Ok, this should be quick and easy… grass/buff -- just gold pine resin, in case he's not there. A wise move; he's nowhere to be found; I make my way towards the Great Hall. Another attempt to summon… when I get to the Great Hall I spot a dark figure waiting on the ground floor. I grass and decide to get closer before I used the DMB -- it's dark heavy armor; it might be the NPC. It is! Well played again, except I'm burning through grass like Snoop Dogg.
Ok, he's inside and trying to summon… I decide to check the boss room area. Not by the stairs, not inside. Normally I skip checking upstairs, but since he's trying to summon, I head that way. The whole time I'm turning, looking behind me; fearful of the notorious dark AL fog/hornet ring combo. Or just someone hiding in dark AL is enough, the fact he's desperate to summon suggests he's more likely to pull something like that. I look to the Smough elevator first, it's down, but I'm too far away to make it. So I go for Ornstein's. Once up, I notice some soul masses across the way. I move forward staying behind a pillar, now I finally use the DMB, more grass *cough, cough* ready the wog and close it. The host is facing away from me which is to be expected with the soulmass spells. However, not only does he not move at all as I approach (you'd expect him to face sideways and feint ) -- he's positioned right next to the elevator and facing it! LOL -- he saw me go that way and is waiting to ambush me, how cute! I BS him and kick him onto the elevator, just as it's on it's way down.

More gesturing, more binoculars, more tinkering (this time I start looking for gestures to send back and organizing them so they're where I want them). The white comes forward after a while (after failing to hit me with the avelyn ) and the host engages the LotD. I put on SLB and the white makes a 180. I go to chase him, he kinda turns just to turtle and waste time, not really engage... then out of nowhere: TARGET DESTROYED! ...ok I ran the white down and BSed him. I either didn't get to him quick enough or he had like 3 HP. Because right after I BSed him, his HP vanished and so did he.
