82 Expert adventurer Siegmeyer

The two start to make their way through the fortress and immediately regret coming here... They look over and see a narrow bridge with huge axe blades swinging back and forth with a snake man at the end stopping people passing through... Below him Reima notes that there are two lightning casting snake men that will most certainly shoot them off the walkway.

As none of them seem to have noticed their presence yet he gets Solaire to ready a lightning bolt at one while he charges up a powerful Fire orb at the other, with Reima being on the high ground the fireball should just about make it to it's target.

He signals Solaire with his fingers, "1, 2 , 3!" They both cast their spells which hit there marks, one snake man crumples to the floor with a hole in it's chest while the other is slowly incinerated by the fire orb.

The snake man at the other side of the bridge takes notice and tries to charge at them... Before being impaled and sliced apart by the swinging axe blades...

Solaire "Not the smartest foes I've ever fought... Surely those undead dogs have more sense then these things?"

Reima doesn't disagree and the cautiously make there way through the deadly traps, the get to the end of the walkway and head up the stairs which leads to, you guessed it... More traps.

They kill the lightning bolt throwing snake person at the end and continue their journey. They make it to an area with thick tracks in the stone below them, Solaire seems confused as they can hear massive moving objects close to them and finally understand as they see a snake man brutally crushed and pulverised by a huge stone boulder.

Instead of making their way up the path to stop the boulders Reima head down to visit where Siegmeyer should have ended up if he's still alive... They head through the dark path and hear an unusual sound...

??? "Hmmmm.... Hmmmmmmm" Reima scoffs as it sounds kind of like the Squidward things in minecraft..

Solaire "Be cautious, I've never heard a beast make such a sound..."

Reima laughs drawing the attention of the Onion knight sitting on a ledge surrounded by dead snake men.

Siegmeyer "Mmm…mmm… Mm! Oh-hoh! Forgive me.. I was absorbed in thought. I am Siegmeyer of Catarina

Quite honestly, I have run flat up against a wall… Or, a ball, to be precise… I'm afraid I'm a bit too plump to be outrunning those things so here I sit in quite a pickle. Weighing my options, so to speak! Hah hah hah hah!" He says in a strangely jolly voice, exactly what he says in the game...

Reima "Why not try and stop the source of the boulders?" he asks the onion knight, trying to find some kind of method in his madness.

Siegmeyer "Why, don't you think I'd already tried that? I'm not fast enough to outrun those blasted boulders!"

Solaire "Perhaps your armour is slowing you down? It doesn't look the most practical for such a task." He says sincerely.

Siegmeyer "Oh, another one eh? This is the armour of Catarina! You speak the same mocking words as that sorcerer with the big hat, speaking of impractical attire with a hat three times your size! Hmmph!" he snorts and looks away... Tsundere?

Solaire "I meant no disrespect Sir Knight, I just wish to assist you in the name of Jolly cooperation!" he dips his head in an apologetic gesture.

Reima "I for one think it looks rather dashing, wouldn't you say Solaire?"

Solaire "Yes, it would take someone blessed with strength to use such armour."

Siegmeyer puffs up in pride at their words. "Yes, I am rather strong aren't I?"

The atmosphere gets slightly awkward as Siegmeyer starts shifting in to various poses that would show his physical prowess... If he wasn't wearing armour...

Reima "Well, I guess we will leave you to ponder a solution... I wonder if we'll beat you to it."

Siegmeyer "I highly doubt that, I am a very experienced adventurer.... But I will give you a chance I suppose." He sits back down on the ledge supposedly giving them a fair shot.

They leave him be and start climbing up the path while dodging boulders. They walk past the fog-gate and enter a room that holds a chest... Inside is the steel-protection ring, Reima puts it on next to the poison-bite ring and feels his physical resistance rise... It's like an invisible liquid is now covering him and softening blows...

They loop back and enter the fog-gate coming face to face with many black or silver knight statues... Their purpose? Neither Reima nor Solaire even has a clue.

Walking past the eerie statues they walk into a hallway with a rather obvious trigger plate that probably activates dart shooters through the holes in the wall... A snake man reveals himself and walks towards them... They simply step back and allow it to trigger the traps and kill itself... Again.

They continue forward and spot more deep tracks in the stone and see a huge boulder zoom past them into the abyss... As Reima's nickname isn't Redfield he doubts he could completely halt one of those without Solaire's assistance and channelling Haki.

He focuses on his task and reminiscences on his first time accidentally discovering big hat Logans location... He had just reached the spot where the boulders are being launched and changed it's direction briefly to provide an easier pathway... He explored the keep and found the boulder had busted through a wall revealing a number of cells, one of which contained the legendary sorcerer.

Not too long until he starts learning sorcery Reima thinks to himself while grinning.
