Just let myself get slayed. Made it to Mohgywn grounds. Went into the masoleum - oopsie.
Ran around the place for a while and got wrecked by an NPC invader. Made it to a site of grace that has a buncha those weird looking goomba-like guys. Some of them are red, and I learned quickly they have blood magic which wrecked me.
However, they give a FUCKTON of runes per kill too. I think one run of this very small strip of land netted close to 50k runes, and it is very fast. Think I went up 20 levels. Started using the Bloodfang Blade, and that skill is sick. No question I'd like to spec dex now, much more fast and fluid, and "sidestep" makes things real fun.
Still gotta go ask for forgiveness at that church, so I can get the sorceress to talk to me, but I got caught up leveling so quick I just.... didn't bother
