Just a thought to people who summon allies against invaders in the darkroot garden might want to consider clearing the area first if you're not a member of the forest hunter covenant.
I get this 8 times out of 10, lay my sunbro sign -> get summoned -> invader(s) come -> invader(s) lead us in an ambush of forest guardians/tree people/giant mushrooms although these enemies are not overly strong they do hit pretty hard and can spoil your focus so pleeeeease guys save yourself and allies some grief and clear the area when doing PVP in the darkroot garden
