Despite its age and mossy covering, the bricks in the wall remain firm after such a long time. It's still a bit of an awkward climb, you're more used to ladders than navigating architecture. Eventually you reach an amber dome with stained glass designs about things you don't care about. You peer through the opening and see a wooden floor...that's it. It's not even that far of a jump

"Well that's sorta dumb," Gurhen remarks, "normally this should be in full view of the chapel audience."

Maybe the architect went hollow while designing this one.

There are a couple of empty, broken cupboards along with a few tables and benches. There is a barrel at the corner of the room but it is also empty. There are two exits on two corners of the room. They lead out into parallel hallways that overlook the main chapel area.

>"Let's hide in case someone got suspicious from our entry."

Gurhen hides in the one cupboard with working doors, the other is busted open. Meanwhile, you and Tealah hide in the barrel, which only contains a few sheets of cloth for some reason.

Being in incredibly-close physical contact to her makes your Sunlight Blade grossly incandescent. You slip one of your hands under her Balder Armor to grope her torso while the other reaches through the skimpy waist cloth. Her flesh is a whole lot more tolerable as a human now.

"H-Hey...quit it," Tealah whispers but you ignore her protest.

Her breathing picks up as you start rubbing your fingers on her crotch slowly. Your other hand starts gently fondling her surprisingly-soft breasts.

"We can do this later, now's not the time." She's no longer whispering yet she still maintains a quiet tone.

Your constrict your arms around her, bringing the two of you even closer.

"S-Stop it..."

She unintentionally jerks a limb, causing the barrel you're in to rock slightly and make a sound.

You hear a muffled voice that sounds vaguely like "Who's there?"

The two of you freeze in place, trying to avoid any further commotion that might expose your position. You hear armored footsteps.

>Remain silent until he leaves
>Write in

>>228614
>Remain silent until he leaves

But keep our hands completely still, in their current position.

>>228654
You can hear Tealah's breathing as you wait for the other guy to leave.

"I told you to stop."

>"But I did."

"Not like this."

You hear the armored footsteps move away from your position and the words "...getting too hollowed for..."

The cupboard doors creak open and Gurhen quietly steps out, saying "I think the coast is clear, let's sneak out."

Okay, before I actually go through with Rookie's first first-person smut, can you redirect me to any quest here that has accomplished actual, written lewd prose? I don't want to be the first guy who ends up exiled to Mount Olympus for his transgression.

Also, because I need a good dose of "inspiration" because I have no idea what I'm doing.

If I recall, theres some thread series by the name of "Greentext". Its pretty funny but it includes a harem so, by my divine deductive ability, I can only assume that it contains what you ask for. And Mt. Olympus is supposedly the home of the Greek gods, the tallest mountain in Greece, and a resort area. Not to bad a place to be exiled to.

>"Give us a few minutes, this barrel is tighter than we expected and we're jammed here pretty badly. Can you stand watch while we try and squeeze ourselves out?"

"You got it, boss." Gurhen affirms. He proceeds to ready his Shortsword and stands near one of the doorways.

You immediately continue teasing Tealah before she can say anything.

>"Try to keep quiet, he can't take everyone on."

Your hand switches focus to playing with her nipple, which begins to stiffen from the stimulation. She stifles a moan as your other hand slips into her underwear to caress her now-moist pussy. The cramped space inside this barrel makes it impossible to adjust yourselves into a proper position. You'll save the hot dickings for another time, at least she will get something out of this.

"J-Just...make this...quick" Tealah mumbles between breaths and whispered moans.

Her limbs go limp as she gives herself up to your pleasuring hands. You grab hold of her breast, kneading it and rubbing her nipple with your palm, while simultaneously inserting your fingers into her pussy. After what feels like several minutes, she curls up and orgasms. She quivers yet tries her best to remain in place, hoping to avoid reenacting the earlier commotion. After a moment's pause, the two of you emerge from the barrel. Your right gauntlet appears to be missing and Tealah looks exhausted while carrying a small, faintly-soaked sheet of fabric, taken from the barrel's contents.

She shoots you a glare and quietly says "Next time tell me beforehand so I can adjust my expectations."

>Crouch/crawl and sneak into the hallway to spy on the lower floor

You did good. Your smut-game is more on point than you think it is.

>>229418
You drop down to the floor, lying, as you enter the hallway. Then you carefully crawl further to get a better view of the main chapel hall through the stone railings. The place looks better kept than the last chapel due to the further distance from Firelink (and the steady supply of undead adventurers). There are lit candles at the candle stands and near the base of the walls. There's even an intact chandelier connected to the ceiling.

Down below stands another Channeler and a masked priestess with a clean robe. Around them are four hollows wearing rags and equipped with improvised weapons like knives and pitchforks. The two non-hollows appear to be having a conversation.

"Are you sure four hollows is enough? They're not even that well-equipped."

"That's why you're here, to help support their defense."

"And if they fail?"

"I'll get you out of here."

You motion Gurhen to shoot at the chandelier's chain. He quietly stands up, aims carefully, and pulls back the string on his Long Bow. After a brief pause he fires a standard arrow that cuts the chain halfway through. The chandelier swings from the disturbance and the hunter crouches quickly to hide again. Fortunately the ceiling decoration doesn't seem to be the kind that carries jingling glass. One of the hollows notices its movement and points up.

"Oh, the hollow seems to be entranced by the chandelier."

"Typical, they're as dumb as Dung Pies."

He repeats his earlier attempt and manages to sever the chain with a nice snapping sound.

"What's that noi- ACK!"

The metal chandelier crashes down on top of the priestess and Channeler. It doesn't immediately kill them, however, and instead pins them down. Two of the four hollows did get killed though.

"My leg!" the priestess cries out, "My leg is broken!"

"Can't....move..." the Channeler says with a groan.

The loud commotion signals the rest of the group, who are waiting outside, to barge in–weapons drawn. They quickly dispatch the two remaining hollows.

>"Over here!"

Jagermanjensen and Dragon Shit waves at you, and you wave back at them. An unseen fifth hollow, holding a spear, runs towards you from the other end of the hallway but Tealah kills it easily.

>"Bacon, wipe out that Channeler. I'm going down and I don't want to let him get away again."

While you, Tealah and Gurhen walk to the other end of the hallway and down the staircase, Bacon Bits finishes off the immobilized Channeler with a Dark Silver Tracer through the chest. The priestess recoils in horror but her movement is pained and stiffened from the chandelier sitting on top of her. Then you regroup as the two teams form back into one bunch. Dragon Shit hands you your equipment that you dropped earlier.

"P-P-Please, don't kill me," pleads the scared priestess.

"Relax, we're not gonna hurt you," Bacon Bits says reassuringly, "Unless you try to fuck us over, then this barbed sword goes up your ass."

>"Let's get her out from under that chandelier before anything else though."

Greg, Dragon Shit and Jagermanjensen work to wrestle the tangled, metal mess that used to be the chandelier while Gurhen tries to drag the priestess away to a safer spot after removing her mask. The draconic humanoid rips open her skirt with his bare hands(?) and examines her legs. As it turns out, she has a dislocated knee and some wounds of varying severity. Greg has something to say about the former.

"Nothing I can't fix."

Like a stone-cold badass, he yanks the dislocated joint back together and making the priestess shriek in pain. There's still the matter of her wounds, though.

>>230037
You retrieve your Estus Flask and pour the ethereal, amber liquid fluid over the open wounds. The priestess shudders and reacts as if she is given antiseptic. Alas, nothing else happens. The amber fluid evaporates but the wounds remain the same for the most part.

"That's strange," Jagermanjensen notes, "Normally it should fix her wounds unless..."

He caresses her face with his left hand, a Dark Hand, and a peculiar sensation causes him pull back.

"I see. She's completely human."

The priestess looks around her fearfully, saying that she doesn't want to die.

Then perform first aid on her leg.

"Me? Crazy? B-But you're undead!" says the wounded human who thought it was an excellent idea to have an adventure in a place where death is charitable.

>"Tealah, did you nick any more of the cloth in the barrel?."

"Yeah, I thought it could be useful."

She hands you a couple of cloth sheets taken earlier. You rip it into strips which you use to bandage her wounds. Hopefully this should be enough for now. She is in no condition to stand, however, and must be carried around.

>>231214
You try to offer the priestess a spot in your group, but she's incredibly reluctant.

"I don't know, I'm not supposed to be hanging out with undead...yet here I am."

She puts up her jazz hands and makes an offer, "I was perfectly fine with my deceased acquaintance until you came along. Just let me go and we'll never bother each other again."

You decide to keep the priestess around for interrogation as you intended earlier.

>"So, what's up with you hanging out with the creepy Channeler dude, huh?"

She initially refuses to answer but changes her mind after Bacon Bits makes a menacing gesture with his Barbed Straight Sword. The comically-scared look on her face just sells it.

"O-Okay, I am hail from foreign lands as m-my services were hired. I was supposed to watch out for undead who didn't head towards the Undead Burg."

She curls up on her position and cowers, "Please, don't hurt me."

Hmm, foreign lands. Looks like we have a destination.

>>231655
>"Alright you're coming with us then."

The priestess looks around her and considers her options. Due to the amount of people who can kill her in an instant, she concedes to your demands.

"...very well. Just keep me alive. I don't want to catch the Darksign or anything."

Her legs are in bad shape for walking so you get Greg to carry her over his shoulder.

Greg looks puzzled at you but goes along with your decision anyway. He gently lays down the priestess onto the floor this time a fair distance away from the broken chandelier and nearer one of the candle stands.

"What now?" he asks.

In the background, Tealah yawns while Dragon Shit pokes the Channeler's corpse with his finger.

"Yo boss," Gurhen calls out, "She's also wearing such a pendant"

>>231888
>fucking trips
You kneel beside the sitting priestess and put your arm over her shoulder. You notice that Gurhen's claim is correct, there is such a mysterious pendant around her neck.

>"Did you know the Dark Sign is actually transmitted sexually?"

Tealah is visibly puzzled from your statement but says nothing while Jagermanjensen gleefully backs you up.

"Completely and absolutely true, that's how I got mine during my birthday."

Had it not been for the cloth obscuring his face, his shit-eating grin would've given the lie away/

"W-What lewdness!" The priestess is visibly flustered, "That sounds too preposterous to be true, and what would I even gain from receiving your affliction anyway?"

>Write in

"But at what cost?" The priestess asks worryingly, "Turning ugly and losing your mind is a terrible prospect."

Tealah stands mockingly in front of her, with a hand on her waist.

"We undead have our ways to cope with life and they're arguably much better than yours."

>"Besides, an undead has a much easier time recovering from injuries than a human. Just look at how much trouble fixing your leg is. Miracles notwithstanding."

The priestess pauses in contemplation, then remembers something. Still too weak to stand, she raises her arm and presents her pendant.

"But then I will be left vulnerable to this. Truth be told, it only works on hollows so far but I heard from the sorcerer earlier that they will perfect this in due time."

Tealah realizes something. "So that's why the hollows never went after you."

>Keep trying to convince her

>"Look, if you turn undead, you'll have our full support. We'll back each other up and treat you like part of the family. Isn't that right, guys?"

The priestess looks apprehensive and further contemplates the situation. Eventually she gives in to the peer pressure.

"Alright, I...might as well."

The group celebrates, Bacon Bits and Tealah high-five each other while Greg and Gurhen shake hands. Dragon Shit praises the sun in the background. From the corner of your sight, Jagermanjensen beckons you to walk over to him for some private discussion. He seems somewhat uneasy.

"Hey, Smitty, I know we're best of bros even before Lordran turned out like this but, uh, I got a little favor."

>"Sure, what is it?"

"Heh, it hasn't been a day in this cycle and already you're scoring chicks left and right..."

His voice gradually becomes softer and quieter. He starts twiddling his fingers from nervousness.

"So, uh, Mr. Ladykiller...think you can, y'know, h̶̷o̶̷o̶̷k̶̷ ̶̷m̶̷e̶̷ ̶̷u̶̷p̶̷ ̶̷w̶̷i̶̷t̶̷h̶̷ ̶̷a̶̷ ̶̷p̶̷r̶̷e̶̷t̶̷t̶̷y̶̷ ̶̷g̶̷i̶̷r̶̷l̶̷,̶̷ ̶̷t̶̷o̶̷o̶̷?̶̷"

You point towards the priestess, who's having a conversation with Tealah right now.

>"It's her."

"You're kidding, right?" Jagermanjensen says in disbelief, "This human right here?"

>"I'm serious about this, besides, she looks like a nice lady who could use a champion once she goes undead."

"Well, she does seem...kind of cute...in a meek, protect-able sort of way."

After a momentary pause, he gives you a brief bro-hug. You can hear him saying "Thanks, man" before letting you go and walking back over to the priestess.

"I hope that man's kidding about the thing with the Darksign," the priestess implores to him, "There's probably a more formal way to arrange this. Like a ritual of sorts."

Jagermanjensen kneels down and carefully picks up the priestess in a bridal carry. He adjusts his footing for a bit while she reaches towards his face and pulls down the cloth mask. She is pleasantly surprised from the sight of his face, probably isn't expecting an undead to be attractive.

"So, uh, where are you taking me?" she asks.

"Adventure," the knight answers with a hopefully-charming grin, "So what's your name, fair maiden?"

"Renalyn, Priestess Renalyn."

Let's see how this turns out.

(pardon the delay, I had to google cathedral layouts and images so I don't look like I'm bullshitting this)

>>232968
You walk out to the spacious courtyard, it seems as desolate as ever despite the antiquary decoration (e.g. statues and altars) littering the area. There are only a couple of unremarkable, sword-wielding hollows. They approach you with no apparent hostility and seem lose interest once in coming any closer once they're 10 meters away from Renalyn due to the mysterious pendant's effects. You still slay them anyway, pesky hollows.

The cathedral is -huge- now that you're approaching it. The shape is largely blocky and angular, with several "pointy bits" at key locations to give the structure a more imposing visage. The large, faded banners display vague silhouettes of possible deities and lords, some of which seem new to you. There is a lofty belltower jutting out from the roof, the structure's so tall you can't tell anything else below the sight of large bells. There are multiple entrances, two on the side and (presumably) the big main entrance around the corner.

"I see...something!" Gurhen alerts, "I think it's a gargoyle!"

The hunter points to a flying shape at the sky, you only get a second's glimpse before the cathedral obscures it. Good to know some things remain despite the changes in the world.

Dude carrying the chick bridal style kicks down the door while everybody else does flashy, cool poses framing him as we enter making an excellent tableau for the movie poster.

>>233150
The group maneuvers around the cathedral's perimeter to reach the grand, main entrance. The eight of you are greeted by a large pair of nicely-engraved doors depicting armored knights facing each other, around which is an archway with statues and engravings. You find that the large doors cannot be kicked down so you opt for a better and flashier alternative.

>"Stand back, guys, we're gonna have something amazing."

>Cast Miracle: Wrath of the Gods

The doors fly off its hinges as a powerful, divine force blasts it away and revealing the squad it was concealing.

You are crouching down, hands in the air just after casting your miracle. Behind you is Jagermanjensen, carrying Renalyn. Beside you is Bacon Bits and Greg, both brandishing their weapons. The former is holding his Chaos Blade in a menacing, ready-to-kill stance while the latter just thrusts his straight sword upwards. Tealah and Gurhen are in one end of the group, doing their own poses, while Dragon Shit is at the other, doing the "Well, what is it?" gesture which NEVER gets old.

On the receiving end of such a bombastic entrance is...a scantily-clad adolescent person wearing severely-torn rags and stupid-looking yellow bandages completely-covering the head. They are holding a ladle.

You and Greg run towards the figure, which remains unflinching despite your advances. Upon one mere touch they dissipate into nothingness. Well ain't that a cheap trick, you got fooled by an illusion. A convincing one, perhaps, but an illusion nonetheless.

Jagermanjensen carefully sets Renalyn down near the entrance and stands guard near her. The rest of the group make wary steps further into the cathedral nave, the footsteps echoing through the open area. Aside from the eight of you, there doesn't seem to be anyone else in sight. Bacon Bits notes that place looks relatively gorgeous, at least for an abandoned and neglected place of worship.

Dragon Shit moves to the cathedral's crossing and unleashes his sculpted, primeval body like earlier...to no effect. After almost a minute of fruitless waiting, you switch to plan B.

>"Okay, fuck this shit. Everyone, clean this place up."

Greg starts tossing Great Fireballs while Bacon Bits throws Fire Bombs all over the place. The wooden pews and cloth decor catch fire. Gurhen starts firing arrows at the upper balconies and a stray Fire Bomb ends up there, igniting the possible wooden crates that obviously litter every square inch of Lordran. You hear muffled sounds of pain and panic as a Channeler falls from the upper floor face-first onto the burning furniture. He cooks for a little bit before casting a teleportation spell and saving himself from a fiery death.

"T-That's enough!" a youthful voice shouts.

A strangely-unlit wooden crate turns into a puff of smoke, revealing two short figures with hooded robes and porcelain masks. Realizing their means of escape gone, they look around in panic before running towards you.

You reach for the porcelain mask and see a rather young, androgynous face with cerulean eyes and silver hair that covers the forehead. You lunge forward and grip the person's throat to decrease resistance while telling the others to unmask the remaining sorcerer.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

(15 minutes have passed, the fate of the other sorcerer remains)

You try to be careful with your hands and avoid choking the sorcerer too hard, who tries to mumble something.

"Okay...you...win...already..."

You release your grip and the captive gasps for air.

>Interrogate
>Cop a feel
>Write in

>>233637
>Cop a feel

It's for purely scientific reasons, I swear.

>>233644
The sorceror's breathing stabilizes after coughing a little bit. You're pretty sure this person is also human, just like the other two souls who have been hanging out with the Channelers. You shift one of your hands to grip the shoulder tightly and notice the mysterious silver just like the one Renalyn is wearing.

>"Aren't you a bit young to be hanging out here, human?"

"Oh yeah? Aren't you- HEY!"

Your other hand moves to grope the crotch area for a brief moment. You sigh in relief from feeling empty space where a pair of Lloyd's Talismans should be. Maybe you can play Miyazaki Matchmaker with your team after all. You shove her down to the floor and tell Bacon Bits to make sure she won't try anything funny. You stand up and walk over to the other sorcerer who's dangling by the arms under Greg's hold.

"Nnf, let me go you big oaf!" The voice sounds a tinge higher-pitch and more innocent.

>"Don't mind me Greg, I'm just fooling around."

"Okay."

You repeat the procedure and feel lack of a suspicious bulge. The action elicits a startled "Eek!"

"W-What are you doing?"

>Put the twins together
>Interrogate (choose topic)
>Take their items (especially their pendants)
>Write in

(I almost forgot what I set for the numbers, but earlier my accidental roll had me thinking "Shoot, anons got traps"—enjoy the flat magic twins)
(I'm gonna call it quits for tonight, see ya'll in 8-10 hours, or maybe less)

>>233681
>Recruit them

See you later.

>>233686
Personally, you're not too fond of magic users back in your timeline. Cheaty assholes always spamming their dumbest spells away from a good fight. It's why you went out of your way to obtain Great Magic Barrier. You feel for that Havel guy, perhaps he still exists here one way or another. You still need all the help you can get, judging from the changes you've seen in Lordran so far, you assume you'll end up against six gargoyles in the belfry or something.

You grab the collar of the sorcerer on the floor and get her to stand alongside her twin, who Greg puts down. Now that they're standing side-by-side with their hoods down, you get a closer look at their faces and compare them. The one on the left, whom you were grappling earlier, tries to bear a determined expression with sharp eyes. There's a linear scar running diagonally across her face. The one on the right has a more rounded pair with differing colors, the one on the right is amber in color. She looks around nervously. These youths probably ran with staves or had accidents a few times before.

>"Alright, how about an offer? You join us and we won't immediately kill you."

"But you're an undead," the right one says, "We're not supposed to hang out with you."

Renalyn waves at the twins with a cheesy smile, "How do you do, fellow humans? Remember me? From the orientation?"

The one on the left recognizes her and protests, "Y-You! You're hanging out with them? But they're undead!"

>Continue trying to persuade them yourself

>Write in

>>235239
>Let Renalyn talk to them

>>235239

>>235252
You move aside and let Renalyn take the reins.

"Sit down, kids, and let's talk."

The serious one refuses, "No way, why should we even follow?"

"Do you even know what you're doing here?"

"We're supposed to stop the undead from reaching the bell." the other one answers.

"And do you even know -why-?"

The twin sorcerers look at each other for a moment.

"Because the trident dude told us that bad things would happen if we let any undead pass through here."

"What sort of things?"

They have no answer to the priestess' question.

"And do you really think the two of you can stop anyone? These guys didn't even face you in a direct fight and already you're defeated. If they actually tried, you two would be gutted like fish and I'd be mourning how bad you two are. How about you stop being stuck-ups and come along?"

"You...promise?" wonders the meeker twin.

>"Yes, we're not as malicious as other people say. We're just people...who just so happens to auto-resurrect and suffer a tiny bit of dementia each time we do so."

Renalyn backs you up, "Look, you don't have a choice. Actually, you do. You can stay here until you get slaughtered by the next undead who knows what he's doing OR you can come with us and find out why we humans are being sent as junior guards or something."

>"Plus, everyone's on an adventure these days. It's all the rage."

The sorcerer twins mumble in unison, "...fine."

>>235408
You walk over to Greg for some bro-to-bro whispering. His bulky Giant Armor makes it rather awkward to sling your arm over his shoulder so you opt not to.

>"Psst, Greg. Those twins? All yours."

"What?"

>"I'm saying that I'm pairing those two sorcerers with you. Everybody needs a partner nowadays."

"I'm not good with kids."

You slowly walk away, grinning.

>"Well too bad, they're your responsibility now. They're not -that- young, anyway."

"I...I'm...uh..."
"She's Aura and I'm Aurum, we're from...somewhere far away."

>"I see, well, welcome to the group and here's your complementary partner."

You, somehow, manage to drag Greg over in front of them.

>"Meet Greg, he's a big guy with a lot of loyalty. Now go give him a hug or something."

He leans away presumably from shyness. You look behind him and see that most of the flames have died out. Perhaps enough to traverse the hall and find a staircase or something. Most of the cloth, like doilies and curtains, have turned to ashes while charred cinders, some holding embers, replace what used to be the wooden furniture. The floor is charred black from the inferno and there's still lingering heat but hopefully nothing that could deal harm to the humans.

>"Alright, the coast is clear, might as well move on."

Jagermanjensen picks up Renalyn in a bridal carry again. Although her wounds have stopped bleeding, she prefers to play it safe until she can exert strain on her legs again. The ten of you walk past the smoking chars that used to be the cathedral's furniture. The twins are staying behind Greg, hoping that he will protect them. They seem to be unnerved by Bacon Bits and Dragon Shit. Meanwhile you position yourself beside Tealah and stealthily slip your hand into hers. She gasps softly for a bit then looks at you with a warm smile.

The trip upstairs is largely uneventful aside from a linger smell of burned wood. The hallway's railings are charred black and there's nothing left from the broken crates that are salvagable since its contents were incinerated earlier. Eventually you reach a door, which surprisingly remains undisturbed from the earlier arson. You ask the twins if they've been here earlier and they shake their heads. Going past it, you reach what could be a dormitory or something. In the middle of the area is an ornate cabinet with holy markings and behind it is a painting of an unfamiliar saint. There's a ladder leading upward. Some of the nearby rooms have beds while one has a large table.

>"Let her recover in one of the bedrooms, stay by her side so she doesn't get lonely. Dragon Shit, meanwhile you go back down and keep watch of possible intruders. The rest of you, brace yourselves."

"Alright, thanks."

Jagermanjensen carries the priestess away, while Dragon Shit runs out into the charred balcony before jumping straight down. Meanwhile the remaining seven climbs up the ladder onto the next floor. You see a wide, empty attic with a missing roof and most of the walls gone. On the other end is another staircase that leads up to the belltower.

"And there's the bell," Bacon Bits points out, "I'm surprised no one else has traveled here before."

>"Because something's stopping them, look over there."

There's a single Bell Gargoyle just standing in the very center of the floor. It appears to be interacting with an armored knight of sorts.

You draw your Uchigatana and cast Sunlight Blade on it. Greg munches on some Green Blossom. Bacon Bits applies some Gold Pine Resin on his Chaos Blade. Aurum casts Magic Weapon on his Mail Breaker.

"Are we really gonna have to fight that thing?" Aura asks nervously.

Gurhen tries to reassure the young sorcerer, "Relax, we can take 'em."

You all start moving out of cover, into the gargoyle's plain view, weapons drawn. The armored knight takes notice of the batch of intruders and...hitches a ride on the gargoyle's back, readying a crossbow. You prepare to engage but notice two other shapes somewhere in the distance sky. Suddenly two other gargoyles fly into view, each with their own rider and wielding different weapons. They make a quick, rough landing beside the first one, etching the floor slightly with its claws.

>>237340
The third gargoyle leaps off the platform then glides to perch on the ruined roof behind you. Its rider fires a shot, but the crossbow bolt flies heavily off-course and lands in front of Greg's foot, probably a warning shot. The first gargoyle slams its mace down as a menacing gesture. Only Aura seems affected by it.

Tealah grips her Balder Shield tightly as the gargoyle lunges at her. The blow staggers her greatly, and the gargoyle's rider prepares to strike with his halberd. You rush in, Canvas Talisman in hand, and push her out of the way. You bank sharply to one side and narrowly avoid the dropping blade. You swiftly cast your only offensive spell–Wrath of the Gods–and knock the rider off his mount with a blast of holy force. The gargoyle is also staggered by it, which Tealah takes advantage of with a lunging stab at its forearm. The monster swats her aside by trashing its arm.

You'll have to rely on your (buffed) Uchigatana for the rest of the fight as you have just spent the last cast of you WoG. The earlier two were spent on the heavy knight and blasting the cathedral doors open, respectively.

--

"Come here!" Greg loudly yells, spreading his arms to draw the second gargoyle's attention. In his left hand is a Pyromancer Flame where his shield would normally be.

He opens his arms and takes a few bold steps to taunt the enemy. The monster drops down and its rider readies his lance. Just before it charges, two swift strokes interrupt its concentration. Bacon Bits has circled around it and is hacking away at the monster's tail. It moves around to turn towards him, giving Greg an opportunity. He tosses a Great Fireball at the gargoyle rider then moves towards his mount's face to roast it with a Great Combustion.

The gargoyle and its rider has their attention split between the two.

--

Aurum can't let the third gargoyle and its rider set their sights on her twin sister while Gurhen is too busy taking aim with his bow. She grits her teeth and waves her arms to draw attention.

"Hey ugly! Over here!"

She fires a Soul Arrow to punctuate her point, hitting the gargoyle in the wing. It jumps from the broken roof to lunge at her but she rolls out of the way. However, she's not an acrobat and ends up sprawled over the floor, looking up to see its rider aiming the crossbow at her. A heavy soul arrow hits him in the back of the head, interrupting him from delivering a coup de grace.

"Get away from her!" Aura shouts while trying to cast as much of her spells as she can.

Aurum protests as the gargoyle turns around, the visage of impending pain paralyzing her twin. A flying arrow lands in one of the slits of the gargoyle's helmet, causing it to trash around and loosening the rider's bearings.

Tealah and fully braces herself to intercept blows from the first gargoyle's mace. Meanwhile you put up your Grass Crest Shield and make a couple of slashes here and there. You notice the rider clambering to get up and rush to his position.

>"Nah, fuck you. Enjoy your death."

You kick him down and repeatedly slash until he stops moving. At that point the glow from the Sunlight Blade has worn off. You turn back and see Tealah knocked to the floor and the gargoyle raising its mace for a killing floor. A Throwing Knife doesn't really do much but you toss it anyway to draw its attention.

>"Hey you! 1v1 me like last time."

This is just like the old days, except you have the upper hand. What, with your fully-upgraded Uchigatana, fast roll, prior experience; that monster is as good as dead. And sure enough, it goes down after a prolonged engagement. You walk over to Tealah and help her stand up.

"Thanks, I owe you one."

----

Greg lets loose another Great Combustion, causing the second gargoyle to stagger back from the fire...right into Bacon Bits' range. He continues to slice away at the tail until it fully severs in a deft stroke. The gargoyle loses balance and an explosion from a Great Fireball causes it to stumble towards the ledge. Another Great Fireball seals its fate by making it stumble and fall off. Dragon Shit will take care of it. The rider, however, sees it coming and jumps from his mount right before it falls off. Too bad he is standing too close to the ledge and is easily staggered into joining his mount on the ground.

----

Aurum stumbles up, ducking in time to avoid a large spear wildly sweeping across the air. The third gargoyle's rider is having difficulty aiming his crossbow as his mount is still reeling from the pain of being hit in the face. He still tries aiming his crossbow at Aura but Gurhen fires an arrow that hits him in the hand, making him drop his weapon. The sorcerer considers using Farron Flashblade but decides that it is too risky for her and opts to continue firing Soul Arrows at the rider. The sight of the gargoyle's moment of weakness snaps Aura from her fright and fires a Heavy Soul Arrow that drives the gargoyle in a state of panic. Eventually it scampers off and jumps from the ledge to fly away. The sudden upward momentum causes its weakened rider to loose his grip and fall.

"Alright!" Gurhen cheers, "We routed that one!"

>Stay on guard
>Enemy has fled, celebrate

>>239568
>Guard up, the enemy is never tuely gone

>>239569
>"No, it's too early to celebrate. Keep your guard up."

The group tenses up and prepares for another attack. Moving warily towards the the bell.

"There's something over there!" Gurhen points out.

Up in the clouds, a faint figure is darkening fast. It's the third gargoyle, very quickly approaching the platform at a steep angle. It crashes onto the floor at a desperate attempt to sweep you all to your deaths.

Roll 7d6

>4 - Character manages to dodge/block the attack
>5 - Character completely avoids the attack by virtue of not being close enough
>6 - Character not only avoids the attack, but saves someone else (in case anyone else rolls a 1-3).

(I'm gonna choose this one because of the higher "result" roll)

The rampant gargoyle dives onto the open platform as a last-ditch attack. The entire floor quakes, parts of which crack from the impact. The immense momentum causes the gargoyle to skid across the platform and fall off the ledge. Due to the self-damage it sustained, it is either dead or too weak to fly again—where Dragon Shit will finish it off.

Aurum manages to duck in time, while Tealah tackles Bacon Bits to protect him from being hit in the face with a stray wing. You are slammed into a, thankfully-intact, section of the wall and receive a mild concussion. Nothing an Estus swig can't solve. Greg manages to block a severe blow but his Wooden Shield isn't doing him favors. It's amazing how it hasn't broken apart yet and he insists on using it to keep his fast roll. Gurhen is tripped by the gargoyle's tail and...that's it. He's okay even though his legs hurt. Lastly, Aura the meek human sorcerer is skidding across the floor from the strong gust of wind created by the impact. Her twin sister rushes after her.

"Sister, are you okay?" Aurum asks in concern.

"I-I'm fine, I just scraped my knee, I think."
