((The Fog seems to only surround Zepter you can see normally inside, it's constantly overcast however. Magic also functions normally and as for Elementals it would depend where you are.

Water Spirits would be near the lake where the sunken Bastille is
Fire Spirits would be near the volcano at Dragon's Peak
Earth Spirits would be near the Lost Kingdom
Wind Spirits might be around here? ))

Prospero soon finds him self being targeted by a short sword wielding Beast Soldier who clumsily starts swinging at him.

I always loved the blade runner style Beyond had going, I'd love to see more stories with Terry outside of comics.

-The Iron Giant attempts to rise but for the moment remains stunned, both Luna and Serah notice a nice large crack in it's chest plate from the last attack.

"Ugh..." Reva groaned every bone in her body aching at once from that hit and while she still found it hard to move she wasn't out cold anyone at least.

-As Serah plunged her blade into the Iron Giant's throat the giant roared out in anger falling to one knee stunned from the attack, it's eyes faded for a moment and cracks in it's armor began to show as the attack clearly did some major damage, however Serah did not consider the consequences of being connected to a fully metal creature hit be electricity and received a highly unpleasant shock of her own.

Moonlight Greatsword or FF7 Ultima Weapon?

((Reva does have a few healing items on her for her travels, a few potions, a couple of antidotes, eye drops and the such since she lacks any form of magic outside her mysterious blade that clearly won't be important later.  8D

Too bad she's down below and KO'd.))

-Freyr's cut strikes true and takes a rather nasty chunk of it's spear arm forcing the weapon to the ground and giving him a chance to bring it down.

I think that rockmanclassix guy is a troll who just targets people who makes fangames......honestly that's really sad.

EDIT: Oh wait I was thinking of some other person who no one cares about, my bad.

Well he's kinda being trolly as well to be fair and all trolls do kinda look alike.

((I don't know the one you "Axed" for help is likely dead now too =P You character is well suited for dealing with these types of enemies I'd say.))

Reva seems to be out cold from the blow, and with the Iron Giant now free to turn it's attention to Serah it begins to reach for the Sword Mage with it's free hand.

((I'll pause here and wait to see what Luna does))

-Deciding to take advantage as well Reva jabs her blade right between the gap in it's grieve armor, a muffled cry form the mass of iron indicated their theory on weak points was correct and swings it's blade around in anger catching Reva with the blunt side of the sword sending her flying back and colliding back first into the nearby wall.

-As Talyn finishes off another soldier she feels a surge of pain as an arrow embeds it's self deep in her left shoulder. a sword and shield wielding Beast Soldier also begins to bare down on her.

The beast soldier rears back in pain growling at Tayln for taking it's arm, it makes a rather obvious swig with it's remaining Axe/Arm.

((Haha nah more like this


No worries post when you can, gives everyone else a chance to catch up))

The Thundara while not enough to pierce it's iron hide does stagger the beast a little, and it's possible more spells of that element may create a weak point in it's defenses if she has the mana to spare.

"Maybe try for the gaps in it's joints, even a monster in armor has to have the same weakness as a person!" Reva draws her weapon it's triangular blade glows blue at the creature's presence as if in warning, putting her poor condition in the back of her head she charges at the beast it predictably attempts to crush her with it's great sword however she manages to evade with a slide coming to halt just behind it before staggering back to her feet. The Iron giant glances back at Reva it's attention off the other two for a moment.

-----

Talyn's leap takes the axe wielding beast knight off balance giving her ample time to follow up her advance, she and the others get the idea that these beast knights aren't really working as a team in fact several seem to be fighting for who gets to eat what party member for dinner.

As Talyn finishes her sentence her eyes pick out a large number of humanoid shapes shambling from the various doors of the fortress, the sound of clanking armor gets louder and soon roughly ten or so armored men have the group surrounded; any hope of them being sane is quickly lost as their features betray their nature, their ragged rusty armor hanging on over a transformed beast like body.

Beast Soldiers
Former soldiers of Zepter, in the golden age these warriors wearing shining gold and red armor were the pride of King's military might and were praised for their bravery and wills of steel. Typically preferring sword and shield, Halberds, Spears and Axes a few of these knights would sometimes practice archery.

When the fog engulfed the kingdom these knights remained at their post protecting their homeland even as chaos fell around them, now their bodies have been monstrously changed with elongated limbs and beast like faces. Their sanity has long since left these hollowed warriors.

((There are roughly ten of these beast knights surrounding your group, I'll leave the armament up to you, their long clawed arms and legs give them good reach on top of what ever weapon they have equipped, however they are quite slow and only attack with brute force not the skill of a trained knight.))

The Reya, Serah and Luna retreat back slightly as the glowing red eyes of massive shadow emerges, a giant of humanoid shape protected in thick blue armor and wielding a massive great sword in one hand as if it were nothing. The blade it's self is nearly as big as the three woman and getting hit by that would mean certain death.

Iron Giant

An animated suit of armor forged by the blacksmiths of Dragon's Peak and the sorceries of the Sage's Spire. A crystal acts as the giant's core and is believed to be the trapped soul of a convicted criminal sentenced to death. The control rod that once directed this mass of iron has long since been lost and now the giant merely attacks anyone in it's path. It's presence in the arena hints that it was forced to fight the unwilling participants for the amusement of the soldiers.

((The Iron Giant nearly stands above the seating area so yeah this could be a SotC type fight. Simple slashing it to death might not work.  8D))

"Well at least we all made it out..." Reva signs still looking a little pale. "I-I think we can make our way out of this creepy arena if we..."

Suddenly the group both in the Arena and above feel the ground shake, Luna, Serah and Reva all notice a large lumbering shadow moving into the arena from the other opening on the other side although it's hard to tell what it is as of yet. It appears their yelling woke up something big.

Dark Souls 2, second DLC impressions. Finished the whole thing in about 4 hours.

Quality is about the same as the first DLC. The new area is bigger than Sunken City, and very pretty. The enemies are okay. I don't like the constant spamming of a certain enemy type, but at least the ambush situations are super predictable. There were tons of Black Phantoms, dunno if that's an NG+ thing or if they're always there. As for the bosses... well, I liked one of them a LOT. At the very least they all fight solo, which is a plus after the ridiculous gank squad of the first DLC.

Can't say I like the damage I'm doing with my weapons. I can't tell if it's a nerf or if NG++ is that brutal there.

Mini Review now that I've mostly 100% the DLC

Crown of the Old Iron King continues to push game play design not often found in the Vanilla Dark Souls II, while the Sunken City of Shulva had a focus on puzzle solving both in combat and in manipulating the environment to progress through it's bow triggered switches, the tower of Brume offers a highly vertical design as you slowly descend the tower and discover keys needed to unlock other areas of the tower. While the initial areas of Brume are more linear than Shulva once you find some keys you begin to discover there are quite a few areas off the beaten path to explore and suddenly Brume is one of the largest areas in the game.

Enemy diversity is better than in Sunken King, you encounter the basic soldier type enemies in three flavors, however you also encounter possessed armor that can separate their body parts to attack from various angles and a new mage type of enemy that's challenging at both range and melee. Several giant enemies also exist and offer a neat way to punish players who just strafe larger targets to avoid their attacks, you also encounter several hollowed enemies that do not react well to fire and can be used to open some hidden passages if exploded correctly.

This DLC has three bosses like Sunken King, and only one boss is one that is reused however said boss has had it's A.I. and attack patterns tweaked and is quite challenging yet feeling fair compared to the gank squad of the challenge path of Shulva. The next two bosses are completely original and feel fresh.

Over all this DLC is beautiful, it's offers many breath taking views as you move outside during your decent and the artistic design within Brume is also top notch, mobs feel fair and playing smart can save you a lot of deaths. There is one red phantom mob I feel is kinda cheap but over all this content is balanced and enjoyable, there are a ton of new weapons, several new armor sets, more than few new rings and three new spells (1 Hex and 2 Pyromancies).

Like Crown of the Sunken King this DLC is well worth the $9.99 cost and is full of content. I got through the Tower of Brume in about 5 hours and missed two enemy drop weapons and one part of the Brume Mage set (gloves). If you love Dark Souls II I would recommend picking this up.

((It's a tall ceiling, it's an underground arena of moderate size. You have the large open area where people battled, a tall wall, the seats, then the wall up to the ceiling.))

"It smells like blood..." Reva frowns

There doesn't seem to be a stair case but if they could get onto the seating area not far above it would be possible to look for a way out, theres also an opening on the far side where the combatants and equipment could be taken else where; maybe up?

As Luna looks up she notices movement up above through the steel grates allowing light into the arena, what ever the shadows are it sounds like chatting and the voices sound familiar...

(Don't see why not)

The Path winds, and more than a few times the party swear that can see things moving in the shadows only causing them to increase their pace, soon the three emerge into what appears to be an arena of some sort, possibly a place where soldiers trained or forced prisoners and slaves to fight for their amusement?

As the group take in the area looking for a way out they notice light pouring in from above the iron grate taking up most of the ceiling seems to be in the courtyard above.

((Sounds good, I'll let Mirby and Pyro catch up before I update your party's side of things.))

"If-if lost underground or in a ruin try to find what side has the fresher air." Reva follows Luna out into the hall drawing her blade just in case.
