Made a kill in the Kiln today. Reward: Spoiler800.000 souls. Crazy.

Duels have been smoother in the Undead Burg than the Kiln for some reason. Tweaked my build a bit by switching out the Chaos Rapier +5 for a Great Scythe +14. It's two-handed running R1's and two-handed R2's are pure destruction in PvP. Almost like every swing is a guaranteed hit. Had to drop the Painting Guardian shirt and the Heater Shield to equip it, but it's worth it. Now I rock a Wooden Shield on the side, looking proper noobish.
