How to summon an NPC?

I play offline and don't currently have an Xbox Live subscription.

I know this means I cannot summon other players, but can I still summon NPCs?

I am currently at the fight of the 3 sentinels and I thought you could summon an NPC to help with them. I am human but when I pull out the white sign soapstone (just before the fight), it is greyed out/disabled.

Am I missing a step?

You need to find the NPC's summoning sign, which should be somewhere on the ground nearby (assuming there is an NPC summon available there). Once you find the sign, you can activate it to summon the NPC in question. The sign should appear as long as you're in human form.

White sign soapstone is the item you use to offer yourself for being summoned to other people's worlds, and hence, it is disabled when offline.

You need to be in human form, for some summons find NPC first, and then do not be in the covenant from majula- covenant of champions or something like that. It makes your game harder and makes you unable to summon.
