Snek Snek SnekI'm sure you noticed the captcha issue. If I disappear partway through the storytime, just know it probably means I've killed myself out of annoyance.

>Let's celebrate the countdown for the Tarnished Edition of Elden RingThey finally announced a date for that?
A nice hot evil woman to brighten up your day.
>>287465637Something close
>>287465674>Something closeWhat does that mean?
>>287465592Adorable creature.
Look at her go.
>>287465726Its up in stores, finally. But the release date seems to mostly be a placeholder.
>One page every 2 minutesI see 4chan's sleepy for you too, OP
>>287465864Its gnarly right now, lmao
A serpent never dies, not does she quit or give up!
Part 2An incredible face right there.
Precious.
>>2874661092cute
Be sure to thank your local Crucible Knight for their service.
I'll be honest, I do not care much for Rya, her quest or the volcano manor. Rykard, however, is a great boss and fromsoft's best gimmick weapon fight.
happy familee
She done fucked up.
>>287466188Smug Rya
>>287466172I like Rykard for mage classes because he lets you really test the FP/Damage efficiency of your build.He's not as good as the original Storm Ruler fight, but he's better than the Yhorm fight.
Careful, this is sensitive information.
I like how you can tell Tanith's facial expressions fairly well even through the mask, just by the one eye. Props to the artist.
>>287465592>>287465647>>287465674>>287465698>>287465775CUTEEEEEE
>>287466281Yeah, they are actually good at their job. It isn't just phoned in.
She's dead....
Part 3
>>287466342Cruciblebro has to do everything around this joint
She's not a step-mom, she's the mom that stepped up!
>>287466244The dramatic presentation and the build-up to and for the original Storm Ruler gimmick fight, the battle against the Storm King in Demon's Souls, is still the best IMO. However, the Rykard fight is easily the best dramatic gimmick fight that's also a fight. This is a full-on battle with a behemoth.
>whew, i don't have to drug my kidTanith....

https://litter.catbox.moe/vpsr8a6qioqc0qw8.cbzI won't be able to finish the dump. I didn't think it would take this long, even with the slow captchas. If someone can do it for me, that'd be tight.
There's only a couple pages left, so I'll pick it up
>>287465592BEST GIRL
I really hope I can be a good mom when the day comes
Tanith never quite figured out to have Rya equip a correctional corset to better blend in with other tarnished. Scoliosis is a bitch, even though it doesn't take away from Rya's cuteness
And credits.Is anyone here a recusant true? Or did you beeline straight to Rykard, eager to leave Zorayas an unfortunate orphan? 4/5 invaders are Mohg's bloody fingers. If you or your friend were molested by White Mask Varre, there's resources out there to help you and your close ones.
>>287466904Love her
>what the fuck am i reading?
>>287466952Cease thine slander, viper. Luminary Mohg's claim to the Elden Throne is his birthright. His Bloody Fingers all willingly do his bidding with no exceptions.
>>287467073Are you truly so easily bought with the promise of infinite albinauric runes? Volcano Manor offers you recompense much more valuable. True power is for the taking by ye who do not falter; slay the gods, skin their hides, devour their flesh and take their runes. The Manor will be your shield and your cloak in your righteous work.
>>287466952Recusant only and 4ever
>>287466799Thanks a million, man. Hopefully the captcha issue is cleared up and it won't take so long in the future.
>>287466868>t. ymir
>>287466904>>287466982you wouldn't a snake.... would you?
it's a good birthday
>>287466952I honestly really like the concept of the Recusant questline. Some of the game's best equipment and even the 'John Tarnished' armor are locked behind it. So you have to willingly embrace being a villain to get the most out of the game. You gotta be a ruthless killer of your kindred to access everything. It is a cool dynamic.
>>287466442Tanith should be super happy that she's not Rya's actual mother. Daedicar got fucking skinned alive by Rykard and seems to have actually liked it, even.
>>287467458Np man, captcha is still shitting itself as I can see but I've time with my employment-lite>>287467729I don't find them to be that villainous to be fair, the only target of theirs who probably didn't deserve it was Istvan. Rileigh himself most likely wiped out hordes of tarnished for wrongthink, and Juno Hoslow is... Just kinda there?
>>287467729I wish there was a Volcano Manor ending where you invade some poor sap that just beat the Elden Beast, but never beat Rykard, and eat him alive.
>>287466952What I find super interesting is this: If you "sequence break" by jumping down into Volcano Manor proper from where you wake up after the Raya Lucaria abduction, you can get to and beat Rykard without ever meeting anyone from Volcano Manor. The devs accounted for this because Tanith shows up munching on Rykard's corpse without having to ever talk to her. She even has dialogue asking who the hell you are.Anyway on topic, Mohg is just a better boss. Varre is a faggot but Ansbach carries the whole faction's reputation on his back.
>>287467938They should have had you find Lanya's desecrated corpse at the start, and invade the jar village at the end, to really drive home the idea home.
>>287467938Tragoth is a bro, and you gotta kill him for the throatgoat set in that quest.
>>287468245That's Patches's sidequest thought, you can just tell Patches to fuck off
Man, now i fucking feel bad for Tanith
>>287466952Of all the unfinished questlines, i really wish there was more to Rya's
>>287466952I just did what the ghosts asked me to and just headed straighr to rykard.I don't generally don't kill non-hostile npcs.
>>287468454She'd still kill you for sport. Yes, that is a little hot, I'll admit.
