Stormveil Castle
It had been a minor affair of following after the player after the defeat of the Ulcerated Tree Spirit, of course, when we approached the odd looking corpse that looked like an odd face, I spoke aloud to the player's character he may have to inquire about it from a Sorcerer known as Rogier.
It was more or less giving some lore wise direction, since I was an npc, and as so, I figured I'd give some directions for the sidequest with Rogier.
The rest of the trip up towards the boss fog was met with a barren castle, giving me the clue that the player had pretty much cleared the whole castle up without resting before going down to see if he could find me.
As we approached the boss fog, I halted and stood beside it, "Hail, Tarnished." I spoke, earning the player's attention as I sheathed my blade and crossed my arms, "A word, before we face my former lord." I requested.
"Shit, chat, the modder really went all out with this character!"
I mean, probably, if I am able to exist in this function…afterall, if I remember right, Dark souls 3 had quite its own fair share of mods that have new npcs with their own dialog.
The player stepped up to me, allowing a prompt to show up saying, "What is it you want to say?" the prompt said, with the player selecting the option, I nodded in response.
"Tarnish lord, before we face my former lord, by chance you may want to prepare." I warned, "By all rights, Godwin, while a fraction of a god, is still a formidable threat. So might I suggest preparing?" I questioned.
"Mm, Yeah, I do want to rest and refill my flasks…and upgrade my Greatsword I got from Caelid…"
Ah, so he's going pure strength right now, makes sense. Another prompt showed up for the player to read, saying, "I'll rest now and prepare." and the option for, "No, let's face him now.", the player selected the first option, earning a nod from me.
"Wise choice, my Tarnish lord." I agreed, and remained standing in my place, "a battle must be fought with readiness, I can only imagine you may also want to take a quick rest before our fight with Godrick." I added.
With my piece said, the player walked off to rest at the grace, before standing back up and disappeared into yellow mist; guess what it is supposed to look like when the player teleports to other graces and sites from my perspective.
It wasn't that much longer before the player returned while I was still standing with my arms crossed, from out of the lone room with the grace in it the player's character emerged out while carrying the greatsword over his shoulder.
"Alright, chat, let's do this…no, er yes, let's see if Nepheli causes him to say anything when summoned…"
The character walked over to the boss fog wall, and before long, Nepheli's summoned character emerged from the ground.
I turned my head with my back still turned towards the boss fog wall, I looked over at Nepheli while she in turn looked back at me, before I spoke first, "Greetings, fair maiden." I nodded at her.
Nepheli looked at me in turn, expressing a critical look before speaking, "Hm, interesting, so you are betraying your own lord?" she questioned.
I nodded back again, "Aye, the Tarnish is now my lord, whom I serve under. I have sword my sword to him till the bitter end. We have crossed swords, and now I seek to fight under his banner!" I jovially explained.
Nepheli pursed her lips, before talking once more, "Fair enough." she nodded back, before turning towards the player who was now facing the fog wall.
"Yo, chat, what sort of Modder went to this length! Fucking poggers!"
…I'm very close to enlisting Patches's aid, and have him kick you down to the iron maiden in Raya Lucaria Academy…
As the player went through the fog wall, I followed after him, with Nepheli trailing after.
"Cut scene, let's go!"
Before long as the Player and I walked into the boss arena, with the wind howling, thin fog rolling through the air, I was treated to the sight of Godrick himself standing before a felled dragon. Godrick stepped forward and spoke towards it, "Mighty Dragon, thou art a true born heir."
Godrick petted the maw of the dragon, "Lend me thy strength, o kindred." retracting his hand from the dragon, he continued to speak, "Deliver me unto greater heights."
Taking notice of us, Godrick turned his attention to us, "...welll…" he soon began grabbing his nearby great axe while his cowl started to come off his back, "A lowly tarnished…and a traitor as well…" He hissed.
"Ooh! Let's go!
"Playing as a lord, are we?" Godrick scowled at the player, before I stepped forward while unsheathing my blade out, and held it out at my former lord.
"Dude, chat, extra bit into the cutscene!"
"Dear Godrick, by right of conquest, by right of defeat, I fought this Tarnished, and now I serve under him. No longer do I wish to serve under you." I bellowed out with a boisterous tone.
Godrick sneered back up at me, "You think you and a lowly Tarnished can defeat me!?" he yelled while bringing up his axe to slam it down.
"Fucking hype train here Chat!"
Bringing my greatsword down at the ready beside me, I glared back at my Former lord, "You have done nothing but become a lord of mismatched limbs, a cowered, a fiend. I shall see to it that my Lord shall stand atop your corpse as the victor!" I answered back with spite.
Godrick slammed his axe down and yelled, "I am the lord of all that is Golden, I will not let this disrespect go unpunished."
"Then have at thee!" I yelled back with fervor.
"Who the fuck programmed this mod! Oh, and thanks for the two hundred bits, yangswole ninethousand."
"-Let's fucking go, Soldier of Rick the God the meme-!"
…the player has a text to speech donor function…
Not a second sooner, I charged in at Godrick with my sword raised, "Hyaaaaah!" I yelled, while Godrick himself lumbered up towards us.
"Alright, cutscene over, let's do this!"
While the player and I ran at Godrick beside each other, with Nepheli not far behind, Godrick aimed to swing at me first with his great axe, causing me to bring my sword down to block it with the flat of the blade, "rrrggghh." I grunted, feeling the force of the impact cause me to be sent flying back from the sheer impact of Godrick's attack.
While my feet landed back on the ground, and Nepheli ran past me, the player jumped his character to jump attack his greatsword down into Godrick.
My former lord himself merely let out a grunt of discomfort, before he rolled along the ground and swung his axe at the Tarnish, who controlled his character to dodge roll through the attack.
I myself got back up and ran at Godrick with my Sword raised, while Nepheli began rolling up her axe around herself to cause lightning damage against the Lord. As she slammed her storm axe down at godrick, I was halfway towards him myself as he rolled again to attack Nepheli.
Nepheli grunted in pain as she was unable to block in time, and was sent reeling back; I on the other hand was running up behind Godrick and thrusted my sword into his back, making him finally stumble forward and open for a critical attract.
"Gaaah!" Godrick grunted out in pain.
"He's open!" the player yelled, as he controlled his character to run up at Godrick, and slammed his colossal greatsword into Godrick's body.
"Guaoh"! Godrck grunted out in pain again, before the player's character finished his critical attack with another slam of his colossal greatsword, sending the lord falling back a bit.
It was only a matter of time before Godrick went into his second phase, for now though, we needed to keep the damage up on the former lord of mine.
