Black Knight sheds a Tear...StoneRing.

After increasing his strength Reima decides to introduce himself to the Cleric sat by the elevators before he starts fighting through the undead burg, he walks to he man with dirty blonde hair trimmed into a bowel cut, large armour, and shield and mace.

Reima "Greetings." he nods at the Cleric.

Petrus "Hello there. I believe we are not acquainted? I am Petrus of Thorolund. Have you business with us? If not then I'd appreciate you keeping your distance." He tries to say it politely but fails due to the substance of his sentence.

Reima "Why? Do you have an issue with me?" His slitted eyes glare at Petrus.

Petrus "I do not wish to converse with those touched by Chaos" He points to Reima's eyes, "You came to the wrong person to deceive, as I am not as gullible as other Clerics."

Reima decides it's not worth dealing with another religious fanatic, especially one who despises his appearance based on unfounded assumptions.

Reima's first goal is to get to Andre the blacksmith so he can restore his Witcher armour to a useable condition, his secondary goals include trying to cut the drakes tail off to acquire the drake sword, freeing the Sorcerer and the Pyromancer and also gathering as much titanite as possible. He nods to himself as he starts heading up the stairs towards the aqueduct? sewer? He dodges the firebombs chucked in his direction before viciously kicking the hollows off of the cliff in retaliation.

Entering the damp sewer drain that gives off an aweful smell Reima dispatches the rat waiting in ambush before head through and into the Undead Burg.

He enters and starts killing hollows left and right, they don't display any skill or intelligence besides using basic weapons and sometimes throwing a bomb so Reima is more than prepared to deal with them. He goes around, destroying the barrels and circling round while collecting the various items scattered around before heading through a the fog gate. The gate leads to a house which Reima quickly loots before ascending to the roof where a massive dragon? No, a massive Wyvern lands on the wall in-front of him causing the structure to shudder under it's impressive weight. "Your tail is mine dragon!" He shouts as it flies away.

He walks forward while easily dodging the bolts shot by the cross bow hollows behind various barricades, after dispatching most of them he lights the bonfire and heads towards the Undead Merchant. After killing the knights that guard the stairway covered by boxes and crates he walks down them and looks at the beef jerky like Undead, sitting with his knees crossed presumably waiting for customers?

Merchant "You looks like you still have your wits about you... I have some interesting trinkets if you'll have a look, nyehehehehe" Reima doesn't quite understand why he's laughing but ignores it.

Reima "Can I have a look at your wares?"

The way you trade with souls is a tad disconcerting to Reima, pulling the souls from his Dark Sign and pushing the correct amount into theirs takes more control than he'd thought... Maybe it's something that gets easier with time.

He buys the Residence key, Bottomless box, Orange guidance soap stone and a short bow with many arrows. One thing Reima wasn't expecting was the Repair box... The Merchant said it repairs items in exchange for souls... No expertise needed.

After thanking the Merchant who comments on how long He'll last until going hollow Reima goes back to the bonfire before repairing his Witcher armour. After putting on the Mastercraft bear school-like armour he jumps and stretches to make sure it still fits his ever growing height... Strangely enough the Repair box seems to have made it's size suit Reima, a very useful item indeed.

The bottomless box, while useful for others is functionally useless for Reima who possesses his Folded Space. He stores it away anyway as it might be useful in future.

After getting geared up Reima easily cuts down the hollows inside the residences, he even managed to catch a firebomb and throw one back at the hollows overhead. He uses the residence key to loot the chests finding small miscellaneous things that are not of much use but he stores them anyway.

Before he heads up the stairs where a fire-barrel would be pushed down Reima decides to fight the black knight who has his back facing Reima. Being much more stealthy than the average Undead Reima manages to complete sheath Arcell into the back of the knight causing it to immediately swing it sword behind it.

Reima ducks the sword and channels Armament Haki into his fist to punch it's breast plate.

BANG, a large dent can be seen on it's armour, the black knight ignores it and downward slashes Reima, he blocks but he finds that the knights strength is equal or may even be higher than his own.

It's speed is similar to Risryn without enhancements but it lacks the skill to make use of it, it's sword slashes are precise and would deal damage but that's all it seems to do.

After using WindFall to dodge another slash Reima jams his sword into it's unprotected neck which causes it to fade away into white dust as he absorbs it's soul. After killing it Reima picks up the two titanite chunks the knight had dropped before looting the body at the end of the walkway for the Blue Tearstone ring. The ring boosts defence when your on your last legs... Kind of counter intuitive but maybe it'll be useful he thinks as he slips it on his middle finger.
