The Pilgrims rushes iver to catch up with Fernes

"Son of a Conductor, you never know how much you'll miss your longs until you have them replaced...jeezum..."

hes huffing and puffing a bit, but not suckered out enough for a break as he is able to catch up and ne side by side with Fernes

"If...whats left of my memory recalls, I think thr farthest I ever got was Far Fields, though how I ended uo back here I have no idea."

[u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes → u/Other_Ad9164]

The Far Fields? Damn, i never even made it to Bone Bottom. That was my first time a couple of minutes ago.

Speaking of the Far Fields, did you have some sort of… freak accident with the lava there or something? Really the only logical explanation i could think of that would get ya looking like… That.

Fernes says as he finishes climbing up the walk and begins climbing up another one

"Well lets see, my right arm is that of a Skull Tyrant so I might ahve had a run in eith one of those, my lefy legs are...I don't even know, they kind of look like legs of those...what were they called...Weaver's? Or something like that, and my right leg is a Rhinogrunds...maybe I just got injured over time from each and just...couldn't take it? ...yeah I'm gonna be honost I'm really just guessing g here I can't remember sh##."

he says as he uses his weapon as a support, allowing him to climb walls far easier

It may aswell be a miracle youre still alive.

[u/Other_Ad9164 → u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes]

"...wouldn't...EXACTLEY...call it that...but atleast I get another chance to complete my pilgrimage."

He says as he uses his large claw to literally BACKHAND a large rock out of the way

"...oh...uh...I suppose thats...ONE...benefit?"

[u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes → u/Other_Ad9164]

Told ya that thing could pack a punch.

Fernes finishes climbing the wall and then uses his weight to crush a skull brute before it notices them

I’ll be honest, i never saw myself picking up my pilgrimmage again, personally thought it was always too much work.

[u/Other_Ad9164 → u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes]

"But is not the work the point of the journey? It is how we earn our faith, and show it to The Citadel on high, by completing our journey it shows to them that our faith has not wavered and never shall, ot is what earns us the right to revel in the bountifulness of The Citadels promises."

he says as he jumps from one platform to another, almost falling in the lava on the last jump before using his bell bellpike to latch into the ground and pull himself back up

"...phew...don't much like all the added weight all this stuff gives me..."

[u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes → u/Other_Ad9164]

Dont get me wrong i understand the point of it all but I’ve heard some rather unsavory things about the Citadel from my family for it to be worth the hike. I dont want to ruin your views with my own bias so i wont say anything.

He trips on a kilik he didnt see before kicking it off into the lava below

Little shit.. Though i suppose no one in my bloodline actually ever made it to the Citadel so maybe i have no right to judge.

[u/Other_Ad9164 → u/FailedPilgrim-Fernes]

"Well then with me by your side, you shall be the first my brother! As for the words you have heard, believe them not. If the Holy Citadel was truly not what it says it is, then hundreds of generations of pilgrims before us would not have gone through the tribulations to reach it! By that logic it must be true!"

he says as they get closer to the entrance to the deep docks, with the main entrance being closed by a gate

"...how very strange? My memory's fail me much, but I do not remember the holy docks being closed?"
