Elder Blood Witcher 72 Familiar Faces...

After dealing with the creature they carry on cautiously walking across the narrow pa.s.sages, eventually they connect with a outcropping from the wall which makes the structure slightly more stable, despite this small comfort two more fat creatures with clubs come out of the shadows and try whacking them.

Solaire deflects with his shield before circling round and stabbing it in the back, an additional lightning bolt swiftly puts it down. Reima uses Windfall to side step it's club before jamming Arcell through it's throat, he rips it out taking the rest of the creatures neck with it and causing it to disappear into motes of light.

As the two walk they spot various different walk ways leading to different areas, they hope they're on the one that leads to the bell, having to backtrack through this place would be a nightmare.

Reima hears something scampering in the darkness and gets Solaire to stop for a moment, "Something is following us..." He readies his sword and shield when he hears this and starts looking around cautiously.

The torches provide some light which allows Reima's low light vision to see more than Solaire could, although his sight is good in darkness he still doesn't spot the creature, or creatures making those sounds. They keep getting closer, and closer... They're almost on top of them now... Reima looks up and spots 5 pairs of beady yellow bloodshot eyes staring at them from what looks like a bridge pa.s.sing overhead. "ABOVE!" He shouts hoping Solaire takes notice as the creatures spring into action, they drop from their hiding place and try land onto Reima, they hit the floor harshly as he dodges away with Windfall. Solaire has his shield pointing in the air as one lands on it making a bell-like impact sound through out the surroundings.

One of the creatures back up near a torch to get a sprinting attack on him and Reima finally sees his attacker clearly. It's body is like that of a normal hollow undead, emaciated beyond belief and having various bones and organs visible through it's thin skin. This creature has dark, almost black skin instead of the dull grey he would expect, but the biggest difference is it's head. It resembles the alien elites from Halo, it's jaw is separated into 4 different parts and has a neck as thick as it's head. It has no discernible nose or ears either. Reima remembers these things from the game but doesn't recall them ever having a name.

The creature sprints at him swinging it's oversized claws in a frenzy before stepping on a Yrden trap Sign that Reima had placed beforehand. It seems confused as it slowly runs through it and even more perplexed as Arcell pierces it's alien looking mouth. He pulls his sword free and dodges a stab from a rotten spear that looks to be poisoned, it tries to stab him again but he locks Arcell against it and using his strength, twists the spear around and eventually launching it from the creatures grip. It gives a loud screech before trying to claw him to death, Reima simply waves his sword which severs the creatures arms and then stabs it in where Reima a.s.sumes the heart is. It falls to the ground in a heap as Solaire stomps on one of the creatures heads causing it to explode in a gory display.

Solaire "Anymore?"

Reima listens for a moment before shaking his head, "No."

The two makes there way forwards while casually killing the other creatures that try to attack them, Reima dodges a dart being shot by on of those infuriating enemies and gets Solaire to throw a lightning bolt at it, it doesn't survive.

The two finally find themselves looking down on the rest of BlightTown, it's a lot more brightly lit than the previous pa.s.sages which makes it easier for Solaire. Reima remembers a katana being hidden on nearby, he looks around for a glowing white orb and eventually finds it... In the game you'd need to make a perilous jump and risk your life to obtain it but... Flash!

Reima teleports next to it and picks it up before flashing back. Solaire looks at him while he inspects the weapon, about 45 inches long with a very sharp curved blade. It has the traditional j.a.panese shark or ray skin handle wrapping and wavy temper noting the softer back of the single edged weapon.

Solaire "My friend, you find treasure no matter the location don't you? Although I'm not familiar with this type of sword..."

Reima swings it a couple of times to get an idea of it's weight before storing it in his Folded s.p.a.ce, "It's a good weapon but it can't beat Arcell."

Solaire points to the swords on his back, "I think you have enough weapons for now, continue like this and others might think you're compensating..." Reima huffs at this and they start descending to reach the bonfire that rests on a large stone bridge in the distance.
