THE EXILED of ARIAMIS! Epoch Two: The Rising!

Indeed! Wlcom Fin!! : D

Welcome Fin. We could continue the parry practice today if you want, i'll be online.

Happy holidays, Exiles!!! ♥

Very Nice Jules!! Thanks from all of us!!

Indeed! And same to Star Harmonia Jules :3

I just had my first invasions with my exiled build. It went pretty well! I used a painting guardian cosplay build. I didn't even realize how much i have missed regular invasions. For once i get to fight 2v1 and they are not ganking, lol.

Regular invasions are the best kind imo. Duels are to consistent for me, after a day or 2 they get dull (especially as I usually just stomp) but you neve know what to expect from invasions.

It's actually the other way around for me. Regular invasions get boring because the people I invade are usually not very good at PvP.

Course they're not. Not usually anyways. That desperation drives them to take crazy risks, and makes the skilled questers even more fun to fight when I get them. They're unpredictable as hell in my experience and their phantoms usually know what their doing. Duels are just rollpoke and spell spam. Its great for what it is, but I prefer hunting questers most of the time.

I wouldn't call duels rollpoking & spell spamming, but i get what you mean. I would have stopped playing DkS a long time ago if there wasn't so many ways to experience it.

We'll see . I really enjoyed those invasions. Painted world has always been one of my favourite places to invade.

Bah humbug.

OH! OH! OH! get into that Xmass spirit or Santa be mad...I hear tell that Santa plays Dark Souls and has his sleigh stashed in the Painted World.

Santa is kinda creepy. He sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake. Global surveillance network much?

Wellll...I hear tell his deer are "Predators" in disguise...remotely controlled by very short but vastly intelligent cyborgs and that Santa is an unemployed clown acting as a diversion. But...I'm sure it's only a rumor

Ok...People!! I need to know who is active and which projects are near completion
Start posting......holidays are over. Well, except for New Year's, of course!!!

I'm here, though i won't be playing much dark souls because i recently purchased demon souls. Happy Holidays!!

I'm present.

Had some invasions and noticed that people tend to underestimate pgs. Even though it has higher AR than the gold tracer for example. Loving my painting guardian cosplay.

Hello, my friend...thanks for checking so quickly!! Yes, PGS is underestimated...I'm sure you'll change that perception.
A heads up...I'll be PM'ing you hopefully later today. I wanna bounce some ideas off your very creative brain There will be an event announced after the New Year celebration as a result.

Pirate...will be PM'ing you as well for same reason!!
Everyone else is busy finishing their projects...or so I have been told

I as one who would hate to see our Fair Maiden harmed in the slightest, would like to paint myself upon this covanent's tapestry. Our Queen is far to elegant and already given enough hatred as it by those who wish to see her cast out to see her suffer further.

I was without a PS3 during the fall of the lifehunters, But now that I'm back in full swing I'm bringing the heats. Since I'm feeling wordy it's story time.

Gwendolyn grew up learning of the gods of Anor Londo and their greatness, the power of fire and adherence to a moral code. Her Mother hailing from Thorolund instilled in her both a great sense of responsibility but also of propriety. Her father a gent from Carim was both cunning and silver tongued. But tragedy befell Gwen when she awoke to an intense burning sensation, it was the branding of the darksign and from that day forward she would be shunned by her family and home.

Alone and barely able to scrape by fending off hallow shells of former men, Gwen found a simple armored waistcloth on ones body along with his battle axe. Armed now so meagerly she sought a safe haven to reside in, having grown weary of the death and madness surrounding her. A dilapitated city, houses burning, the screams of a man could be heard inside, but she could not pry open the door. And so Griggs came to perish; his last words being about a great man and teacher named Logan. Gwen's sense of justice and order demanded she pick up where Griggs had left off, searching for the man named Logan and his wisdom.

Deeper down she went, encountering another man trapped and in danger, this time however her resolve had steeled and she was able to save Laurentis, who in his gratitude offered to impart his skill at manipulating fire. Focusing the raw energy of flame Gwen found she was not helpless, she had saved a life and she decided then that this power was hers to use to save those who can't save themselves.

With the notion that the whole of the undead might be saved if she could just reach the two bells of awakening Gwen set off against the harsh world to save not just a person, but an entire people. Dragons, hordes of undead, the ever watchful eye of seath a channeler, Gargoyles, A hydra. Gwen fought, died, and triumphed many times over. Saving the Maiden of Dusk, meeting a true blue adventurer! and being warned by a large cat of the dangers of grave robbing. She met her second teacher, an even great pyromancer than Laurentis, alone and seemingly sad she passed on wisdom and power ancient to Gwen.

The Fortress that had gated her crumbled, as did its giant gaurdians, beneath the might of this newfound power over the flames. Finally she had made it, to the home of the Gods. But not all was well in Anor Londo. Her friend the Adventurous Onion Knight was in trouble again, the gods themselves had fled. And one of Gwyn's four great knights took up arms against Little Gwen for her trespasses. The Gwen of old would have accepted her fate, but Gwen now was a force of salvation, she did not fall to the mighty spear of the dragonslayer. Upon arriving at the chamber of tomb a voice spoke out to her, it was Gwyndolin whom she was named after and who's justice she had been serving. She bowed and formed with him a pact to continue purging sin and evil from this land of fallen lords.

Seath had gone mad and Gwen intended to put a stop to his cruel experiments. But having found a broken shard of an ancient pendant she was reminded of the maiden from another time, she hastened to her, only to get caught up in a dreaful portal to the past. Great beasts and warriors stood between her and saving, once again, the princess she had made friends with. The once Noble knight had been corrupted by the abyss. His soul Still clinging desperately to honor, was gifted to the lady Ciaran, who in turn besowed her weapons of the Lord of Cinder's will upon Gwen.

Armed further and with a newfound discontent with dragons and the kidnapping of women Gwen once against sought Seath the betrayer. his archives a veritable maze of books and adversity. Logan was once more in trouble and Gwen as always was more than happy to free a friend from danger. It was not to last, for with victory comes bittersweet defeat, Seath dead his lord soul reclaimed, but Logan had gone mad with the new found power of crystals, Gwen shed many tears as the brilliant orange hued blade seperated Logan from this world. His hat taken as a memento of the fallen.

So too did Nito and the fallen kings of New Londo fall to the gleaming blade and primal flames. Her greatest teacher pleaded for Gwen to end to suffering of her sisters and mother, who had been taken by Chaos. The Lordvessel was overflowing with power, It was finally time to save the undead.

Gwen Rushed to the asylum to spread the impending good news, but found only demons and what was once the man who freed her from her imprisonment. A strange doll lay in the cell she was held in, a curious thing that she took with her, why she didn't know.

Gwen made for Anor Londo to relate her tales to Gwyndolin, who was sure to be thrilled about the return of the Lord Souls power.But something strange occured, the doll pulled at her, gnawing at her mind to search more and more in the home of the gods. Until she came across a remarkable painting.

Once inside she found a cold lonely world, so lonely that for the first time in a long time she scanned the ground for a sign from a fellow undead, ahhh there she found once. The Phantom was a jolly sort, dressed somewhat like the glowing Solaire and the now hallowed Oscar, together they persevered through the snow and dangers, Yet another Pyromancy joining Gwen's collection, and a sturdy magic shield taken from the clutches of an undead Dragon. That is when they met.

Priscilla was beautiful to Gwen, and her words were kind and measured. She meant no harm to anyone, and merely asked if the two undead would leave her home and her people behind. They were outcasts, unfit for the rest of the world, but here they belonged overwatched by Priscilla herself. Gwen made for the bridge, but turned as she was falling....The knight that had accompanied her was locked in combat with the gentle Pricilla, as she fell Gwen struggled to get her bearings, she wanted, no she needed, to save Priscilla like she had saved others, not like Logan or Griggs, or Laurentis who never made it to the great mother of flames. As she fell out of the painting a rage boiled Gwen's blood. She immediately Pressed right back in, pulled out her Blue eyed Orb and looked for the Guilty.

Appearing in another world, a familiar name and face, the Knight who had slain the kind and gentle Priscilla bowed. Gwen furious with his previous action cut and burned the knight until he was no more. From his corpse she wrested the soul of the crossbreed who watched over these poor exiles. Though the lifehunt power that soul held is too much for Gwen's body to handle she wields it Proudly, standing ever vigilant in the cold once again lonely world in place of it's true master, wrongfully slain by a hasty fool.

Whoa I didn't realise I typed that much, I was just feeling like writing some fluff, honest!

Heres the TL:DR http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=251237290200284798

I will be Dorkmooning the Painted world in a matter of days
