I'm farming titanite chunks in Anor Londo. It is all peaceful without any invasions as I have killed off the terrible two some. While killing the two guardians between the entrance and the once fog gate I notice a white summoning rune on the floor. Odd, that shouldn't be there. I take a closer look and it is smoking, meaning it belongs to a gravelord. I didn't know you can still be gravelorded after the boss in an area was demised. I invade. I come in at the bottom of the stairs to the dead fog gate and see him fighting another blue invader at the far end, near the entrance. I casually stroll that way, waiting my turn, and the host is victorious. I suddenly gain a whole bunch of souls. I didn't know that I gained souls when the gravelord host kills an invader. We fight a protracted battle because he flasks twice, but I let him. I don't heal and he gets the win, but I'm happy with a technical win, because I plan on invading again.
