#like I wonder if they're like me and get into the rp aspect of rpgs a lot

Old Monk time!

Zaxaria vs. evil cloth thing, attempt 1.  You have no idea how long I’ve been looking forward to this boss in particular.  He’s such a cool concept and I have so much fun doing multiplayer things in this game.  It’s a win-win!  Well...not so much for my character...

Attempt 1: player phantom.  They managed to get me in a corner and I died.  Love the collapse gesture they did at the end.  GG katana person.  You were very patient waiting for me to climb the stairs. (also: nice try with God’s Wrath at the start.  There’s a reason I attuned Hidden Soul for this! :D  The regen aura from her blessed sword gives her away once she’s in the arena but it does make ambushes from the other side of the fog gate a little more difficult!)

Attempt 2: player phantom.  This one was fun!  It turned into a parry fight (curved sword offhand for me, shield on them).  There were so many moments where we both parried at each other, expecting an attack!  In the end, the victorious read was theirs.  GG magic/dex person!  There were a few unfortunate lag spikes but overall this one was a treat.  I’m so happy I got to practice my parry timing!

Attempt 3: player phantom.  Died due to stupid mistakes.  As in, “forgetting how I was holding my main hand weapon” stupid.  Guess I jumped in too soon after the last one and needed to mentally refocus.  GG dragon sword person, sorry I was a disappointing fight.

Attempt 4: player phantom.  What an honor this was!  I got bonked by a dragon bone smasher on fire!  GG, that was hilarious!  I love seeing that insane thing in action, and the fire buff just made it even more delightfully ridiculous.

Unfortunately, I had to cut it short here.  While the slayer of demons has all the time and as many tries as they have the willpower to handle, time marches on outside the game, and I have a job to be awake and functional for.

God, this is so fun I almost don’t want to win and move on?  I love seeing the builds everyone’s putting together!

Man, that first loss has put Latria in kind of a grim state though.  I think we’re one more body form loss away from pure black, if it’s not already there.  I’m not sure if I want to test it by checking on Sodden Ring access or on poor Rydell first...or if I avoid it all and go at the boss again.

We’ll see what happens when I play next, I guess!  I love this game.  I love this game so much.
