How do i have 11 estus flasks? Just started game

[RandalMcdaniel]

I was picked up by a black duck and dropped off at firelink shrine.

All i did was walk up the path a little bit to kill a few of those super-weak enemies.

Then i walked back. Saw the NPC dude sitting near the first bonfire. As i am exhausting his dailogue a little flame effect occurs on my players head???? Not sure im im seeing things but something definately happened

All i know is i have 11 estus flasks and that seems odd to me.

I then watched this lets play and this dude only has 10 estus flasks upon arrival

im confused, did i just pick up a new estus flask and was not paying much attention?

Or did i get hacked already? i havent even touched any multiplayer signs

If someone in your area, enlight a bone fire, you receive one estus

uhh what? Someone as in the npc dude right near it? Or an online player? Because i certainly did not see any phantoms

wouldn't this be super easily exploitable and lead people to having 999+ estus flasks?

An online player. Also, estus is capped at 20.

If someone kindles a bonfire, everyone in the area gets 1 estus flask.
