Path lifts his spear to waist level, and eyes you cautiously. You tell him that you agree to his proposition, and will go along side him to find and kill Kaydin, but secretly you intend to double cross Path as he did to you.
“Wonderful! Now I noticed you carrying that soapstone around… Kaydin gave that to you didn’t he? I have something for you that is quite similar, use this to seek out and kill him” he produces a small red crystal orb from his hip-pouch, the orb has a large crack through the middle and seems to pulsate with a sinister energy “If you do this and survive, I’ll give you a great reward, far more valuable than what you see in this cellar.”
He places the orb in your hand, you notice inside there is something like an image of an eye, it fidgets and stirs, seemingly looking for something, or someone.
“This red eye orb will allow you to appear to Kaydin as a phantom. Killing him will send you back. When you kill him retrieve his sword, as a token so that I know the deed has been done. I don’t think it will work here, summoning or vanishing has never worked for me here. Come find me when the deed is done. So long friend” he begins to move past you towards the stairs.
The orb gives you a foul feeling, like residual guilt, but also akin to a promise of greatness.
The air is cold to the point of freezing.
A scratching can be heard inside the room beyond the broken wall.
Path begins to leave up the stairs.

Follow path out and head back to the bonfire.

Also a plan for the future, we should meet with Kaydin and ask to borrow his sword so we can lure Path out. That way we get Path's reward and we can just call Kaydin out to 2v1 him afterwards.

Will he know if we don't kill him? Or do you mean follow behind him without noticing us?

2nd, this sounds like a good way to get the best of both worlds. Should we exchange our sword with Kaydin's so he has a sword to fight with when we summon him?
>>
>>1356365
I mean, we could have just given him his sword back unless Path takes it, but yeah, we could give him another weapon if needed.
>Will he know if we don't kill him?
What do you mean? Kaydin? No way of knowing we're lying I don't think. And no need to be sneaky, we "agreed" to do the job after all.

You turn away from the hoard and begin to follow Path. The shuffling and scratching noise grows louder and a loud shriek of a rat comes from behind you. You turn quickly, reactively swinging your sword at the pouncing rodent. You slash it across the brow, through all the way, your sword clanging against the wall at the end. The rat flops over onto the ground, you see a second one behind it. It’s nose is wrinkled in fright and rage, it seems ready to leap at you.
There is only one rat in the room.
Your sword has a dent in it.

No use playing risky I guess. Unless we use combustion the fireball might be too slow.

You raise your shield in response to the rat’s strike, it slams into the metal and fall to the ground. You bound down the stairs and skewer it with your sword. It gives a last squeal then dies.
A tiny black sprite rises from the corpse of one of the slain rat’s. You catch it in your hand and crush it, letting the darkness flow into you.
You now have two humanities.
Again the hoard of loot in the hole catches your eye, pieces of armour, piles of silver and a few shattered weapons. Path seems to have already left the building.
It is deafeningly quiet.
The air is bone-chillingly cold.
Do you…

It ain't going anywhere and looting from Path sounds like a bad idea regardless.
>>

>>1362009
Why?
We should obviously summon pallybro to help.
Hes probably careful enough to not just trust us completely.

>We should obviously summon pallybro to help.
Since I'm not too sure on how Dark Souls works, I'm not sure if Path would secretly have some measures for spying on us or the equivalent of sensors on his property.
When I said deal with Path first, I meant get back to safety > talk to Kaydin > trick Path with an item that supposedly represent Kaydin's death to get our reward > ambush Path with Kaydin.
>Hes probably careful enough to not just
trust us completely.
In the sense that he's already willing to deal with Path, because he's the one who suggested we stand on guard with him in the first place.

We need our estus back asap, since it's our only reliable heal atm.

For the moment deciding against stealing from Path, you move to exit the basement up the stairs and proceed to leave the house lighting the way with your Pyromancy flame. Outside the air is brisk and the sky is black as pitch, the forest is entirely invisible to you. You glide around to the back of the house and slowly move towards the welcoming light of the bonfire. You try hard to ignore the disturbing noises coming from the beyond the treeline, but are slightly comforted by the far off, steady beat of the blacksmiths hammer. You reach the bonfire, blazing delightfully.
Neither Path nor Kaydin can be seen or heard, now the only sound you hear is the beating of metal on metal of the decrepit smith. You fall on your backside by the fire and let the cleansing flames wash over you, healing your body and partially your mind. You refill your flask with the sweet, burning nectar.
The darkness of the night intimidates you, but you are somehow comforted by the figure of the broken statue, like an ancient guardian watching over those who seek refuge by the flames.
The cold of the night has crept into your bones. You pull your cloak tight about you.
The hammer beats away and you fall asleep…
>>
>>1368151
You wake before dawn, the sky is blue-grey and the air is fresh. The sound of the smith’s hammer has not ceased throughout the night and still continues. There is not sight nor sound of anyone aside from the blacksmith.
You now notice a thin, cloaked figure walking up the forest path toward the town. You recognise it to be the woman from the amphitheatre.
On the ground near the ancient bench you see some letters apparently burned into the ground, and glowing hot.
It reads:
find him and finish it
A bird cries out a sorrowful song.
The night air is slowly warming up.
Do you…

Kneeling down in the dirt, you write a reply to the message there.
I refuse
After standing up and stretching out your sore limbs you walk over to greet the hooded lady. She nods to you, but doesn’t give much attention as she hurries past, seemingly towards the blacksmith. She breaks into a run up the hill. You decide not to pursue as she seems to be needed somewhere urgent.
Half the sky is now scarlet and peach as the sun flares up over the horizon beyond the trees, you feel a fleeting sense of hope.
You seem to be lost in your head, and really don’t know why you’re here. Then you remember the envelope, and dying old undead in the valley, a purpose you nearly forgot, at least it’s a place to start, and maybe find your destiny.
Do you…
