You roll a 67. You greatly mistime your swing, and the warrior gets a brutal blow to your chest. (190) You stagger backwards, but while you're reeling from the blow, you take an additional hit. (97)

The hollow warrior jumps high in the air, sailing directly towards you.

also please note we are in the undead burg: where everything is insanely easy. We're not even to the first "challenging" part of the burg. I'm not being merciful, it's just pretty hard to die here.... yet someones managed to do it.

Suffering from the blow, I step back and use one of my remaining firebombs and use an Estus.

You are invaded. The invader is wearing a strange mask, and is literally wearing a Panzer tank as a body. Everything in the world freezes suddenly. He disappears.

Suddenly, everything unfreezes. His tank gun, which is electric and on fire, shoots through your body from behind. As he pulls it out, he fires, sending your body into a million pieces. He slaps his forehead and shakes his head, indicating you are a pathetic noob. You are very dead.

Play again?

Sorry Rynn, very interesting what you have going here. Have fun!

You roll a 47.
You nonchalantly throw the firebomb, but it sails directly over the enemies head. Not paying attention, you start to drink from your flask, but you are interupted by it's blade. (97)

You have been knocked backwards, and down onto the ground.

And mark, i roll a die during every post if the player is human. If it's a 1, you get invaded. If it's then above 95, it's a "griefer"... although based on the way this game plays, griefers are very beatable and not as dangerous as in the real game.

RNG Gods why

In a last ditch attempt, I two-hand my Estoc and go in for a strong, two handed attack.

As you climb to your feet, the warrior gets another blow (97), but struggling though the pain, you hold your blade with two hands and use the warrior as a makeshift sheath.

You have a building on your left, and on your right. Inbetween the two building is a broken suspension bridge.

I advance to the right.

I suggest chugging some estus lol.

Go away, Dough! Or I'll beat you with my Plank Shield!

You enter a house that has 3 pillars in the back. You see a long deceased man laying against a wall, and staring at the corpse, you feel a power come over you... you think you're stronger then before.

There is a staircase going upwards.

I get out and advance to the building to my left, shield and weapon raised.

... chug another estus flask!

Hey Rynn, it said 9 flasks, then we chugged one, now you have 10 flasks. Is that right?

It says 8 on my spreadsheet, i probably just typed it wrong when posting the info here.

You move to the building on your left. There is a broken staircase, that if you were more dexterous, you think you could climb. There is nothing else of note in this house.

You sip thoughtfully on your estus.

After a drink, I go back from when the Undead warrior attacked me, and went the other way.

You climb up the staircase, and walk out onto an expansive bridge leading to a plaza. Before you can admire everything, a dragon flies down from the mountainside. It's foot crashes right onto the path, barring your path forward, and knocking you back into the doorway.

The dragon breathes in, you expect the worst.

I immediately retreat back into the doorway, taking out a bow to try shooting off its tail.

Take the closest available cover that is stone and dive behind it.

You duck back behind cover, and pull out your bow, you whip back around the corner to shoot it, and as you ta- HEY! The dragon breathes fire through the doorway, lighting the tip of your arrow on fire, but slightly baking you in the process. (30)

Terrifying Dragon 100%
The dragon breathes in, but it's motives are a complete enigma to you.

Seeing the arrow on fire, I decide it to use it to my advantage. The bow's durabillity might be decreased, but this arrow will be stronger, so I decide to aim for the tail once more.

Drop the arrow, take serious cover moving back into the house towards the other exit.
