You are on a Pilgrimage.

I thought she said she wouldn't respawn them at the Asylum but that she would once we were ferried off to Lordran.

hang on, I'm watching the argument and gotta clarify some things.

As the rules of engagement had changed, bonfires did not respawn enemies IN THE ASYLUM. The will respawn in Lordran now.
The hollow fell off the cliff, you are not under attack. My last post very directly said "You are not in combat"

You have the appropriate stats for the battle axe. You have equipped the Sharp Battle Axe.

I still say we should go back and level up. That way we would have 3 weapons to use, instead of just the battle axe.

12 DEX would allow us to use our bow and Estoc.

You return to the bonfire. You sit down and divine on what you have learned.
You may distribute 1 stat point, refer to page 1 for leveling rules.

Let's increase our dex (I swear who was it that thought they should increase str first!)

You now have 12 dexterity!
Holding your bow, you feel you could wield the instrument efficiently.
Holding your Estoc, you feel you could wield the instrument efficiently.
You feel more nimble, you think you could safely roll in armor now!

What do you do?

Let's head up into the aquaduct now, seeing as we're fully armed now!

Maybe we should use one of our four arrow shots to pull an enemy?

You start to head up to the Aquaduct, but you frown upon seeing the corpses you so recently made are very much alive... The bastard even still has his axe. You look at your hand quickly, to ensure you still have it as well.

You are in combat.

L.Hollow Warrior[2]; 100% [U]
L.Hollow Warrior[3]; 100% [U]

Hollow Warrior; 100% [U]

Chuck a firebomb at the closest guy and get that estoc and battle axe ready!

You throw a Firebomb at L.Hollow Warrior[1]
>L.Hollow Warrior[1] is caught by surprise!

As the Hollow Warrior is baptized by fire, another one comes over to examine it's corpse. It has no spotted you... yet.

You are in combat.
L.Hollow Warrior[2]; 100% [Alerted]

I cheap it out and throw a second bomb at the alerted Hollow. If I'm being given easy kills, I'll take 'em.

The second hollow rolled a 25.
Despite seeing the fireball coming, it has no time to move. It crumbles into dust as the fire removes it from the earth.

You have 616/616 HP

I follow the same route as last time, as I head up to confront the Holow berserker. Except this time, with my Estoc in my right hand, when I lure him down to the bottom of the stair I turtle-poke him to death.

To fast forward the general events of this battle.

>You block 6 damage
>You hit the warrior twice
>You block 6 damage
>You hit the warrior once, slaying him.

Feeling like a very smart warrior, you look up the hill at the remaining 2 opponents.

You have 604/616 HP

You are in combat.
L.Hollow Warrior[1]; 100%
L.Hollow Warrior[2]; 100% [U]

Hollow Warrior has pulled out a firebomb! It takes steady aim!

You have been debuffed, -20% dodge rate, -50% block rate.

Hmmm...

In this situation, despite my lowered dodge chances I attempt to roll out of the way of the oncoming firebomb, and after my dodge is performed I give the firebomber a taste of his own medicine by trying to kill him with a firebomb of my own.

You roll a 76+20.
The firebomb hits you squarely in the back during your roll, you take 120 damage, but after finishing your combat roll, you immediately throw a firebomb back, hitting the warrior squarely in the face. As he staggers over the edge, you can't help but feel like a Professional Pitcher.

You have 2 firebombs remaining
You have 484/616 HP

You are in combat.
L.Hollow Warrior; 100%

Hollow Warrior is preparing for a plunging attack!

Supremely confident, seeing as it is now just a 1-on-1 fight I repeat the turtle-poke strategy again against this final enemy. I heal once he is dispatched.

You take 94 damage from the plunging attack. You discover you are not strong enough to block the force of his entire body+equipment weight falling on top of you. You blocked a majority of the damage. The Warrior suffers fall damage.


You have 484/616 HP

You are in combat. You are on the ground.
L.Hollow Warrior; 94%
L.Hollow Warrior is laying on top of you, it has raised it's sword above it's head, but at this angle it can't get an efficient attack off!

What do you do?

I go for broke and try to parry his attack as I get up from the ground. If I succeed I heal. If not, I take my punishment and block his attacks and trade blows with him with my axe. Then I heal twice.

I forgot to add 94 HP loss to your HP last time....

You roll a 4, and successfully parry the attack. You immediately take the momentum to flip on top of the enemy, and slit his throat by pressing the blade of your axe into his throat.

You heal for 150 HP.

You have 540/616 HP

You are not in combat.

Whew!

I can now venture into the aqueduct itself. I quickly spot a puny rat guarding a corpse. This greatly intrigues me, I kill the rat and check its body for anything useful as well as the corpse it was guarding.

It's always been my believe that the rat was eating the corpse.
But that's not important.

You roll a 10, and succeed on sneaking up on the rat. After dispatching it, you check the corpse and find a humanity. You now have 2 humanities.

You have 2 humanity
You have 2 firebombs
You have 4 Arrows
You have 1 fire keeper Soul
You have 9 Estus Flask Charges
You have 1 empty inventory slot.

Someone else. Please...

I don't want to monopolize this very fun thread.
