The group of somewhat spirited adventurers was rather comforting to Delwyn as they began to make their way up the cliff side to the waterway. It wasn't the most optimal of travelling methods, but it was currently the easiest way to access the undead burg. Delwyn was happy that the group had somewhat decided to head in this direction first. He wasn't prepared to deal with ghosts in New Londo or skeletons in the catacombs just yet. The sun shone brightly over the building littered horizon that was the burg. The walled off city had very few safe entrances to it anymore, and the waterway was the closest method from the Firelink Shrine. Delwyn had spent many nights huddling in the Undead Burg before a helpful stranger came along and directed him to the waterway, helping him find the shrine and his newfound companions. The strange man with the eye mask was another welcome guest, and the larger the group got the safer Delwyn felt. The group slowly approached the stairs leading up to the waterway but were stopped in their tracks by the sounds of pained moans and angry snarls.

"Oh dear, this path was clear of hollows when I took it the other day." Delwyn began to panic, opening his catalyst as soul magic began to flourish from its pages. The magic materialised inside the sorcerer's eyes, altering their appearance to look like a dragon iris. The iris' spun wildly in the eye sockets, Delwyn used the sorcery to greatly enhance his senses. He had hoped to find the location of the hollows so that maybe the group could get the jump on them. He was too late.
"Look out!" The sorcerer cried, as a flurry of flaming arrows arced up from the top of the waterway and towards the group. Scrambling for cover, Delwyn found shelter behind a rock surface. An arrow flew past his face, the searing heat from the flames pricking his cheek. With hesitation, he poked his head out from behind his hiding spot and began to notice several hollow soldiers pouring out from the waterway entrance. It was unusual to see them this coordinated, but perhaps the large group of travelling companions had caught their attention.
