Siegmeyer indirectly strikes again!

The group cautiously makes their way down the large crystal which rests on a previously stone outcropping, now though it's just comprised of what looks like petrified crystal? It's curious how the corruption affects different materials. They come across a 12ft Crystal golem that blocks a narrow path, battling here is very, very difficult... The brute force generated by the Golem is massive and not being able to dodge due to the limited space makes them have to block every strike, Reima spams Quen after every received strike, he highly doubts his two companions capabilities at blocking this creatures attacks without being flung from their narrow platform.

Suddenly he hears a "I'VE GOT THIS!", before he can even tell what's happening he sees Sieglinde throwing herself into the Golem, knocking it off the perilous edge, but not before falling off herself. Luckily the chain still connecting them enables them to save the brainless woman.

Reima slams his fist on top of her onion helmet, "Are you completely insane! You could've gotten all of us killed you bloody idiot!" She shrinks away from him before straitening her back, "I defeated it though! No harm done."

Solaire "At the expense of potentially your life and ours, It's not jolly cooperation if you cause all of your allies to die due to your brash actions. I believe that if you continue to act like this then we must part ways, better a useless companion than a detrimental one I say." Reima nods and looks at her, "You will have to go if you continue to act so recklessly."

She lowers her head in response, "No... I'll stick to the plan, Apologies." Reima can't really tell if she's being honest but he swears to god if she tries that again he'll cut the chain.

After scolding Sieglinde they start making good progress throughout the cave, killing almost everything they come across. The moonlight butterflies aren't all that annoying when completely obliterated by a barrage of magic and lightning, although it was rather amusing when Sieglinde tried to assist them with her composite bow... Her arrows didn't even fly straight and acted as if gravity was ten times the strength.

One thing that almost made Reima quit in irritation is the invisible platforms, unlike in the games the particles that reveal the platforms are sporadic and completely random... Luckily he still has the Prism stones that he'd recovered from the chest, he tosses them on he platform and finds that they stick... This makes them very useful as they don't just roll off like he had assumed they would. Of course practical problems require practical solutions, he remembers he has almost an entire castles quantity of sheets, he tosses them instead of the prism stones as they cover the invisible platforms completely, not leaving them guessing on how wide it is and fearing that it mind abruptly end in a sheer drop. Reima doesn't forget to collect the sheet after confirming the path, they might be needed in the future after all.

Sieglinde "Sir Solaire, may I enquire where Sir Reima acquired so many sheets?"

Solaire scoffs, "Would you believe me if I said he robbed Anor Londo of all it's furniture?"

...

"No." She dully states as she watches her foot placements on the invisible platforms. Solaire continues, "Whether or not you believe it, it's true... I also suspect he stole the kingdoms treasury while he was at it." She seems shocked at this revelation, how could her saviour commit such a dishonourable act?

Sieglinde "You approve of his actions?" she asks suspiciously,

Solaire nods slowly, "After the gods abandoned Anor Londo it became free for anyone with the strength to take it... As the son of Lord Gwyn I don't mind his actions at all." Her foot steps stop mid stride as she hears him reveal his heritage. She's about to retort when she feels the chain connected them pull her forward, she quickly follows the duo and tries interrogating Solaire but doesn't receive any answer aside from "I'd rather forget about that" or "That's none of your business.", she eventually stops asking and intends to bring this up again in the future.

Finally, after almost half a day of cautiously watching every step and slowly whittling down every enemy that reach what seems to be the bottom of the cave. The blue mist doesn't seem as thick at this level... Perhaps the mist is the way the corruption spreads? The idea that his lung may be turning into crystal makes him shudder but he realises he's still got many purging stones on hand, with the way some of the bodies scattered around here are frozen mid step it resembles the process of petrification. He hands a purging stone to Sieglinde as Solaire still has the couple he'd given him when they entered the depths, they look around and spot what seem to be huge clams with feet? He's about to approach one when he sees it pick up a petrified person in it's mouth and eat it in one gulp...

Reima "Yeah, fuck this." he states with finality as he starts launching pyromancies at these creepy as fuck creatures. The group kill the around thirty clam-like creatures, one thing to note is they don't disappear after death, instead their mouths open revealing a large amount of twinkling titanite inside... Is this the process of how it's made? If so he feels the need to dump the huge quantity of the substance sitting in his Folded Space.

After completely ridding the world of these creepy bastards Reima spots a bright glowing light in the distance, he signals his two companions to follow closely and starts approaching it after equipping his Magic Stoneplate ring. He almost gets a good look at it when an enraged roar echoes throughout the cave, a huge white figure smashes through many of the pillars above them before landing harshly causing the ground the tremble. The huge pale dragon looks down at the intruders and speaks in an echoing guttural voice "Pathetic mortals, immortality belongs to the dragons and always will. For your arrogance I will personally wipe your existence from these lands!"
