Today I met Ornstein and Smough. Smough is a big fat bitch who goes down easy, but then Ornstein becomes gigantic. I can handle that inasmuch as he doesn't wipe the floor with me immediately, but here's the problem: It's been so long since I've seen Humanity that if it wasn't for the big 00 in the corner of my screen I would have forgotten it existed. The nearest Kindled bonfire is above the Blacksmith before Sen's smurfing Fortress. Going in with just 5 sippies makes this a challenging fight, but that's assuming I make it there with 5. I think I can do it as long as I get there with all 5 charges (no guarantees because that one cock with the pike always hits me ) and bring my A game but it'll probably take a few more tries.

Also oh god I finally got past that part on the flying buttress with the dragonslayer snipers I never want to do that again
