I second the idea of having a gradual hollowing with each death. It's fairly intrinsic to the curse. The great thing is that it gives everyone little-to-no excuse for repeatedly avoiding death. Also, should anyone need to drop out/take a leave from the RP, hollowing is the perfect tool to excuse a character. Sanity is a great plot driver.

Leslie, the only hesitation I have with the multiple Firekeepers is the notion that you (or whoever assumes the temporary role of each Firekeeper) might be inundated every time the group restss at a bonfire, since they'll probably have a fair amount of dialogue with each character resting there; could slow things down. Plus, I think it'd be safe to assume that the demon scourge would likely have taken the lives of many Firekeepers in the more treacherous parts of Lordran. Perhaps the same few Firekeepers can travel to the different fires in their "region" of Lordran? I've got an idea for Arghast and a Firekeeper for the future, but I need to think on it so that he doesn't just become a second Lautrec.

My vote's also on the Hellkite. Might be nice for Alaric to see some of his undead Balder knights. As for the Hellkite fight itself, I was just granted a glorious vision of the Taurus Demon jumping down from his given area (which is right above the Hellkite's Bridge) and joining everyone in a dual boss battle.

This also makes me ponder bosses. I think passing the mantle of RP'ing the boss around to each player would make for smooth(ish) fights, that way everyone can react to the same boss action rather than guessing at it.

Yea, I was gonna say that Alaric has a score to settle with both the Hellkite Dragon and his former comrades.

I'm sure Gerhard would like to stay with these seemingly nice people. Likely following, and or shepherding them around. I suppose we will be traveling though Undead Burg then.

Hellkite sounds like its happening. I might be a bit inactive over the next 2 weeks for exams but I think we're at a point where I don't need to overview things for a while. If you really need to get in contact with me, you can PM me and I'll make an effort to check in every day or so to respond to PM's.

The same will be true with me, or at least till next Tuesday. Let's go kick some dragon ass >:)

You mean that dragon that completely annihilates just about everyone early game? XD but isn't worth nearly as much as the trouble it takes to finally kill it.

Sometimes sweet, sweet vengenance is the only reward you need.

There's a metaphor in there somewhere.

Time to get things on the road I suppose!

I'm just about to head off to my first exam; just as things are kicking off in the rp. Wish me luck :D

Sorry for the short post. I wanted to punch it out before going to bed.

Will attempt and post tonight, just got home myself.

Now I wonder if every last one of us will wander in the same direction, hmm?

It's finally up, apologies for the delay. I think it will better suit the group if the shady Darkwraith doesn't tag along quite yet. He'll reappear when necessary. Still unsure as to how boss fights should be handled with a group this size.

Oh I'm sure Arghast would have been welcomed, by Gerhard at least, and combat will be an interesting prospect for sure. Considering the shear amount of undead that our group consists of.

I'm looking forward to seeing who dies fighting the dragon. Time for some JOLLY COOPERATION!

Let us be optimistic! We shall all prevail! Right?

We'll just catapult ourselves up to the bell tower until one of us survives and can ring the bell.

This is Dark Souls. I'm always prepared to die.

I would very much enjoy this, or riding on the dragon's back and landing up at the bell.

Sorry I didn't post in a while >3> I've been really busy lately, first day I actually got to stay home in like a week >x<

Also, could totally have creepy mc-orb face launch lance arrows into the wall to make a ladder! :D
