1st summon - I'm at the top of Sen's and I finally feel up to the challenge of social gaming and place a summons down right below where the first exploding barrel landing is thinking I'll be extra helpful and aid people earlier than the boss fight but later than all the hanging blades. Not much time goes by and I'm summoned. It's a player in full Balder's gear, lol. He dashes up the stairs and I follow, we dash all the way to the skinny walkways below the crossbowman and he makes it... now it's my turn and the barrels are coming a pretty good clip. My timing fails and BLAM, I get barrelsploded to death.
So, then I decided to put the summons right before the Boss fog and not long passes before I'm drawn into another person's world. I find that I'm in a group that wants to gank invaders. An invader invades and the host runs out to the corner of the precarious square walkway where I got barrel blasted before. He's looking off somewhere for the invader and I'm kinda worried since he's in a really dangerous place and I can't help out from where I am... when I see the invader approaching from the hosts left totally unseen. The invader uses the Golem axe's R2 move and blasts the host, the host barely keeps himself on the narrow walkway but overcompensates and falls to the grate side (further fall), the invader plunges after him, and I plunge off after the invader. I take a healthy chunk of health off him but he rounds on both of us and kills us easily.
Next attempt... We wave, and I attempt to point to where Iron Tarkus is but he's already entering the fight. I rush to enter and we rush the Golem. I have never been picked up more times by anything until this moment. I swear he picked me up and threw me to the ground about 10 times (5 in a row) before we even got this guy down to 70%. So, I die horribly and the guy I was "helping" messaged me that he got it down to 50% but wants to summon me again. I attempt to make it back to the boss fog after telling the dude "of course, brt" and my connection craps out. Blaaaaargh!!
Next 3 times I'm summoned we murderize the Gollem. One of the times another phantom got him to kneel and fall off the side so fast I barely landed many hits at all. I figure it's time to kill this Boss myself and I summon Tarkus but there are no other summons signs. I decide to wait just a little but I'm invaded. I attempt to get Tarkus to follow me up to the barrel tossing Giant's area but only get him 1/2 way up the stairs before Tarkus goes after the invader. Tarkus is doing awesome but somehow the invader gets a lucky BS off killing him and turns to run cuz he's way low on HP. He runs out of the fog room and I give chase. He turns left where the crossbow dude would be and falls down to walkway below... and dies. He sends me a message "lol" ... I send him back a lie "I'll never tell anyone =P" ... he replies "please, lol".
Other escapades were found at the Smough/Ornstein fight but I'm losing the computer that allows me access to here in a few minutes... so another time. I apologize for the wall o' text.
