[SOLDIER First]

What a strange woman. All this way to find the exit to a place in which we intend to stay...

Well, I suppose she had know way of knowing, in the end.

He looked over at the healer and simply nodded.

"You're right. At this rate, we won't be making headway to Trushkang any time soon.
Alain! We really must be going..!"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Ariston to H11.

"Shall we hold until they return?"

[Twinwolf]

"Probably smart, yeah."
Hold

[Tiruin]

Hearing Damon's sonorous undertones, Alain briefly turned around and cupped her hands around her mouth.
"Coming! Just taking a peek here!"

She looked back onto the pile of bones and wondered what could've caused this incident. Poor beast downed by arrows--arrows borne by hands they had just made clean.

R2, erm...consecrate the dead check for valuables we can use and respect the dead!
Then canto to P4!

"I'm right behind you, just use that key and I'll easily catch up! Keep going! Keep going!"

[Nerjin]

Alain merrily desecrates plunders the skeleton of a drake, or a wyvern. Where arrows had brought it down, they remain as rusted shapes embedded in the bones, or lying beside it in the dust. On the skull, a tiny sigil is still visible, seemingly engraved in the bone; the mark of Golska, who crafted the dragons in the dawn of the world.

Inside the jaw, bizarrely enough, Alain discovers a piece of an estus flask.

Alain obtains estus shard

The rest begin forming up, facing the door.
Sacha rests at the fire, feeling the call of the flames, but her flesh was already unwounded.

[SOLDIER First]

"Did you find anything?"

[Tiruin]

G-10, yo!

Alain ran over to Damon and pulled his hand excitedly, giving a tug if he didn't move at first, before bringing him to the door and talking to the rest of the party.

"One thing, but many things in between that. There was a skeleton of a wyvern out there--brought down by the same arrows we've seen here. The Gods are real, I examined the skull thoroughly to ensure it was what I thought it was, and spied a sigil I remember was aligned with Golska--the crafter of dragons in the dawn of our world, or so lore and myth says. The 'etching' was deep enough that I could infer it's not something superficial or grafted on the skin, but borne in bone and other such elements."

She reached into her satchel and pulled out a glimmering shard, flipping it over on her palm before pocketing it.

"I've also found an estus flask shard, stuck in its mouth! Maybe we can use this later on for...more flasks? Mold it by the campfire? I'm unsure, but it does seem very useful. Are we all ready to explore this place?"

[SOLDIER First]

The soldier seems rather surprised at the contact and does, in fact, require some effort on her part to get moving.

[Follow Alain to [G, 9], unlock gate AFTER everyone responds.

"You.."

"..No, never mind... I see."

The Gods... I have hardly thought of them in so long... except to curse their names, in the earliest years of my Undeath. I hope dearly this will not prove to have been a mistake.

"So they are no myth after all. Hardly a comforting thought at the moment, if you would excuse me. It seems long past time to be concerned with prayer."


A particularly noteworthy fact is that, bar Alain doing so prior, he does not relinquish her hand.

[Tiruin]

Alain does not relinquish grasp on Damon's hand, as she is too busy focused on what the rest of the party has to say--as well as how ornate the iron door is, to notice that she is still grasping his hand. She feels a sense of unity at this moment, however.

"Everyone ready over here?" she waved at Sacha.

[SOLDIER First]

Damon nods once.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Pythias moves to E11 once the door is open and smacks Hollow Spearman B with his Hatchet.

Ariston's helmet tilted down slightly as he observed Damon and Alain holding hands.

"Then if the Gods do remain here, we will find them. And we will get our answers about this curse."

He suddenly felt incredibly weary, and closed his eyes. He had been alive for so long, so much longer than any human ought to have existed, and so much of that existence had been in a dark, cold, damp, cramped cell with only Damon and the slowly rotting bodies of his soldiers for company. Now, though... now it seemed the answer to the question of his existence was possible to reach. He just had to continue holding on to the fleeting sense of self he had once almost lost.

"We'll worry about that later. The door, if you please. I'll go first to make sure the way is clear."
