[X] Not really - What does the Chainmail Man have to say about this fellow?
Seeing as you had no business with Petrus, you and Oscar went away...
...Towards the Chainmail Man because you were curious about what he had to say about that Thorolund fellow for some reason.
He's seen many-a-shit.
Chainmail Man:"You two still here? ...Well, whatever is it that you still need, hmm?"
Chosen Undead: "...Know anything about Petrus of Thorolund?"
Chainmail Man: "That rotund mushroom-head? Yes, I know of him. What of it?" Chosen Undead: "...Just curious."
Chainmail Man: "Wonderful, another inquisitive soul... But, since you seem to want my opinion, I'll give it you... I wouldn't trust that man as far as I could roll him and I could roll him quite far."
Oscar: "Why not?"
Chainmail Man: "He had a companion. Another rotund-fellow, Clive, used to come over and annoy me with his chatter, said that he and Petrus were waiting for the rest of their little group to arrive... But I haven't seen that man as of late; not that I care, mind you... So a bit of riddle: why would a waiting-man suddenly disappear without a trace, hmm?"
Oscar: "...You suspect foul-play."
Chainmail Man: "The foulest from a man who claims piety. But, so long as he doesn't come near me, I don't care what that crook does with his freedom."
A Wandering Soul: "We should be advancing the quest very soon and heading into the Undead Burg. So pick wisely! Because you likely won't be coming back to the Firelink Shrine until a Bell Of Awakening has been rung!"
Do you have anything left to do here in Firelink Shrine?
Playing Dark Souls lead me to believe that it is a game about learning. A game that harshly punishes the player with death, again and again, until the player learns to perform up to expectation, through repetition. A game of perseverance.
Chainmail Man: "Wonderful, another inquisitive soul... But, since you seem to want my opinion, I'll give it you... I wouldn't trust that man as far as I could roll him and I could roll him quite far."

[X] Punch the rotund dude in the dick, until he... I dunno, why would we stop again?
You strolled up to Petrus and started punching him in the groin.
Petrus: "Oh! Y-You what are you doing?!"
Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch.
It became a game of shove-and-punch.
Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch.
Petrus:"Oh, Knight of Astora, stop this madman!"
Oscar pulled you away.
Oscar: "Friend, restrain yourself. We cannot convict this man based on mere speculation."
Petrus: "Oh my! What have I done for this outrageous act to befall me?"
Oscar: "...We heard that your companion, a Sir Clive, had unfortunately disappear."
Petrus: "I see, I am under suspicions of wrong-doing. Who did you hear this from?"
Oscar: "The man by the bonfire."
Petrus: "...Oh yes, that Crestfallen Warrior who lazes about..." Petrus cleared his throat. "Do not trust that scoundrel's word or you'll end-up like Clive."
Oscar: "...Like Clive, you say?"
Petrus: "My companion Clive had often to went chat with that scoundrel... That scoundrel, you know, he's been here for quite the longest. It seems that he's always giving 'tips' and 'advices' to the people who pass through here. No doubt, that scoundrel's poisonous words have led many-a-men to their deaths! ...But I'm afraid that I might not stand a chance against such a scoundrel, so I have yet to drive him away... Ah, perhaps it was the fortune of the Way Of White that has led you two to me... Yes... If you would be so kind, the three of us together could safely force that man to retreat."
Side with...
[ ] Petrus - Drive away the Crestfallen Warrior.
[ ] Crestfallen Warrior - Petrus is a crook!
-[ ] However, Oscar doesn't seem to convinced, anything you can do to prove otherwise?
[ ] Neither - That's enough shenanigans. Time for the Undead Burg.
