[Part of my Elden Ring journal]
After that dragon slaying adventure there is a strange chime and a warning that "somewhere a great rune has broken" as I'm exploring the small village and gaol of Bonny which prompts me to check how Leda and her team are doing. Apparently Miqella is a great charmer, and with that magic gone only Leda remains faithful to him... and possibly Dryleaf Dane because that guy just doesn't talk! Freyja decides to do her own thing, Hornsent is angry, Moore is sad, Sir Ansbach is fearful, and Thollier remembers he has a hard on for St. Trina, remembering that Moore mentioned something about her flowers located on an isle to the South.
I'm always up for a good love story (but this is Elden Ring so... I expect lots of death) so I head to said place and find a deep hole near those flowers the guys were talking about and find a deep cave with Bloodletters, ghost beastmen, skeletal warriors whose bones you need to smash after they die otherwise they get back up again, and a really odd campsite of animals all sleeping in worship...? The mounted boss here is a tough one: the Putrescent Knight. He and his horse can combo for days while moving out of range so its back to the holy club for this fight, where I spam the magic "bullet" attack to win.
It happens so much that it loses the weight usually attached to it.
This turns out to be St. Trina's garden and she herself is here... a plant lady oozing with tempting(?) nectar. Drinking it causes death but hey, there's a respawn point nearby anyway so I drink so much that she starts talking to me, saying Miqella has to be stopped from becoming trapped as a god. Thollier shows up and is upset I'm drinking his lady's juices so there's a brief skirmish and he is indeed very weak, but after explaining that I'm only doing that as a means of communication we're good again and it's his turn to nurse at the flower's teat? Thanks Elden Ring, you make me type up the strangest stuff. :P
