"Let's see about getting out of here. And sorry about the whole 'me turning into gas thingy' I probably should have told you about it."
[b]I start walking through the door [/b]
English
-
"No problem." ~As you walk out, you enter a...woah. You stand on a cliff top, looking upon a city covered in snow and ice. Above that, a massive, beautiful cathedral looms. Moonlight shines throughout the entire area~ "Irithyll...of the Boreal Valley. Pretty place. Filled with loot. But danger, too."
-
"Woah." [b] I stand back and admire the view [/b] "Where to?"
-
"There's a bridge, down there." ~Patches points to the bridge~ "Let's go, I guess."
-
[b]I lead the way[/b] "So what can you tell me about Irithyll here?"
-
"Pretty place, of course. It's ruled by a "Pontiff Sulyvahn". We might be able to take him. He's got knights everywhere, though."
-
"He some bad dude?" (You have to control where we go I'll just lead the way)
-
"Yeah, in a way." ~We start to kross the bridge~ "So...I've never seen a guy like you. What are you like?"
-
[quote]We start to kross the bridge[/quote] "What am I like? How do you mean?"
-
"Y'know. Where are you from? Why are you here? That sort of stuff."
-
"Well I am from a planet called Obatar. And I'm here because I walked into my friend's empty room and started touching things I shouldn't have. How about you? What's your story?"
-
"W...what? A...planet called... So you're...not from here. Not what I expected, but...okay. I'm a businessman, as you witnessed back there. I've been around so long that I don't even know where I'm from!" ~he laughs~ "I just come around here for treasure, like the rest, really."
-
"You don't get many foreigners do you?"
-
"We get some from the east. But none...off world."
-
"But what about business!?"
-
"I get some gold every now and then from travelers. The eastern ones like our stuff the most. Some are a little untrustworthy, though."
-
"But wouldn't busy start booming if you traded off world?"
-
"Hmm...it might... Tell you what. After all of this, can you get some businessmen from where your from to check this place out? Please?"
-
"We're friends now! Of course I'll send some down."
-
"Thanks, comrade. You're really helping me o-" ~Patches is cut off by the sound of something roaring behind you~ "What the...oh, for the love of...!" ~50 feet away, a massive, dog like creature with a reptilian head roars loudly~ "Run! And uh...take this!" ~Patches quickly hands you a small doll~ "Don't give me that look, it will help!"
-
"There's a look?!?" [b]I pick up Patches bridal style and break into a sprint [/b]
-
~The creature screams, and charges even faster than you~ "CARRY THAT DOLL!!!" ~There's a gateway ahead of you~ "IT'S THE ONLY WAY IN!! TRUST ME!"
-
[b]I hold the doll in front of me while holding on to Patches with one hand. My speed starts increasing to match the dog thingy [/b]
-
~Both of us pass through the gateway unharmed. The creature, on the other hand, slams head-first, and reveals a ghostly wall blocking the gateway~ "NICE!! Now, uh...can you put me down?"
-
[b]I start slowing down and skid to a halt a dozen feet away from the gate. I set Patches down [/b] "Sorry -sigh- about that -breath- was faster -sigh- that way -breath-"
-
"Yeah. But we're alive. And...yes. Here we are." ~You appear to be in the city of Irithyll. Gothic style homes are everywhere. There's a bonfire right by a frozen fountain~
