[h3]Hidden alcove, outside the walls south of Yahar'gul, northwest of Yharnam[/h3]
With that they all fell silent and took up positions for an ambush against whatever was causing the chain to move. Ophelia prepared the Holy Moonlight Sword and moved to the left side of the alcove, right up against the gatehouse at the side of the fog wall.
On the opposite side of the alcove Gerlinde took up position on the other side of the fog wall, where she leaned casually against the wall while idly twirling her threaded cane. Anyone paying attention might notice that for as relaxed and unworried as she seemed, her left hand crept up to her blood vial pouch, opened it and retrieved... something that was quite clearly not a blood vial. Instead it looked like a small curved and ribbed horn of some kind, small enough that it only barely extended past the edges of her palm. Looking at it, Ophelia would immediately realize that this was the second source of arcane power she had felt on Gerlinde when they first met.
Farren took up his position about twenty meters back along the left wall, with Fulmen at the ready for what could possibly be its first use in real combat, and Torquil mirrored his position at the right wall, Loch Shield raised and axe at the ready.

As everyone found their places and began the silent wait, the chain stopped moving. Ten seconds passed, then twenty. The white-furred beast let out a low groan of discomfort, and anyone looking at it might notice the hair on its body gradually standing up. Then small, blue electric sparks started jumping between the links of the great chain. A low, hoarse growl emerged from the roof of the gatehouse, and suddenly the chain moved very quickly.
Ophelia would hear a very brief sound of something hard and sharp against stone along with a loud and violent rattle of the chain. Farren would be able to see it first from his vantage point, though, as a great, dark shape abruptly leaped into the air – huge, even bigger than the white-furred one – only for it to land right in the middle of the alcove, maybe ten meters from Farren and Torquil and with the white-furred one between it and Ophelia and Gerlinde.
All four of them would recognize the creature that had just made itself known and was now snarling angrily at Farren, as they had all seen one just like it in the Memory of Irreverence. A terrible creature of exposed bone, rotting flesh and patchy fur, with its entire body wreathed in blue lightning: [url=https://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Bloodborne/Paarl%20Extra%201.jpg]an undead darkbeast[/url]... except this one had a large stake through its chest, tied to a chain that was wrapped around its torso and connected to the stake going through the white-furred beast's chest.
Ophelia would be able to see the Guidance sprites flowing from the white-furred one, through the chain, and into the darkbeast. The darkbeast let out a horrid wail, and the lightbeast whimpered in pain as lightning passed through the chain and shocked it.
