In other news castles are freaky-deaky weird when you look at them with weird eyes.

alliance of the illusionary eyes


+1 for saying that but -1 because we haven't gotten to phase two of the fight where the castle releases a bunch of medusa head golems with artificial cybele

Gonna bring Odysseus into this now, seeing as Beloss hasn't replied his preference. Hopefully he won't get penalized too hard for being super late.

I'm interested in joining as an Assassin Servant for an existing Master. I've made a character and all that, so if you could go through it and tell me if there is anything I need to fix to have it accepted, then I'd be grateful.

CON to E unless you've got a justification.
Sisterly Bond to B.
Aspects like indictment from the allies will also negate Espionage.
Charisma to C.
Clarify the effect Sisterly Bonds has on Alcoholic Fruit.
Three Personal Skills max.
Define "extreme harm" on the NP.
Sun shenanigans like Touko's Mahoyo bullshit will be sufficient to muck with the NP.

@Moonlit Sonata
I'm fine with most of the changes you listed. Concerning "Three Personal Skills", I wanted to ask if it was possible to use Espionage as a 4th, considering it works as a replacement for Presence Concealment. I understand that not being categorized as a Class Skill carries its own consequences and benefits, but it fit thematically pretty well, and significantly moreso than Presence Concealment. Charisma and Alchoholic Fruit were pretty much a given I feel, and Sisterly Bonds was just an interesting way I came up with on how to mitigate the lack of mental defense that the NP provides. Also, considering the character is based around the relationships that she has with others, I figured it would be more interesting if the bonds that she does form can't be intervened by supernatural or magical means (within reasonable extent obviously, it's still a pretty low-tier Servant).

Alchoholic Fruit - C+
To decieve a man, it's simpler to do so when their critical thinking has been lowered. The reasoning behind using alcohol as a tool is one that has appeared in multiple legends. However, Philotis application of the Skill has been lowered due to the dependance on others to accomplish tasks involving it. When the skill is used in the presence of one that Philotis has formed a 'Sisterly Bond' with, the Skill modifier is increased.

Would this work as a fix?

Also, concerning the "extreme harm" part, I already knew it was pretty vague, so I should probably have opened with asking if you could help with the limitations concerning that. The concept behind the character is pretty clear, as she's essentially a "torchbearer" meant for conflict that's had preperation handled in beforehand, but when it comes to the actual terms and such I'd say I'm not too competent when it comes to that.

Yeah, that's my bad on the Skills number. Function's analogous, and I allowed the same with Nessus, so I see no reason to say no.

Sisterly Bond as a concept is fine, I just don't think there's enough grounding in the legend to warrant making it an A-ranked skill, hence B.

So you're saying if she uses it on her own it won't work, if she uses it with someone's help it will work, and if she uses it with a Sister then it works with the modifier active? That's fine then, though clarify the medium through which it works like what we have with Shuten.

You could always do it like antagonistic interference made with killing intent is nullified or something.

Just a quick question, by the way, but as someone who isn't as well versed enough in Typemoon's Magecraft system to be a good judge, what would be the proper spell length to reinforce a Servant in order to increase one of its physical parameters, if possible?

@Moonlit Sonata
Yeah I can understand why A might have been going a bit too far considering the brief nature of the story.

Basically that's the idea behind it yeah, might have phrased it poorly. It's rather vague whether or not she was actually one of the people who participated in making them drunk / stealing their stuff, but she was the reason for that happening and had great success with it because of the help from the other slave girls. Because of it, it's not really something she'd be using alone, and would be stronger in the presence of a Sister.
Concerning the medium, I'm not sure on what would be practical. I'm considering maybe pheromone-based, hence giving it a more "clear" reason for why it's active / amplified in the presence of others?

The 'killing intent' part seems a bit different from what I had in mind, since it sort of goes against the idea of it being based on the reinactments that followed in the festivals after the event. Also, it would be rendered pretty useless against non-sentient creatures if that's the case. I'm fine with it not being exactly useful against mental attacks, which is why maybe something like active attempts at physical harm being nullified could work better. If there is anything strong enough to bypass it, then they'd likely have clauses for it on their own NP to deal with this type of field.

Making it scent-based is fine, sure. Keep in mind that magical protections will be enough to muck with it.

So long as you can think of a way to properly codify it without it being outright absurd, it ought to be fine.

I think I've fixed the problems now at least. Again, I don't think I need to add anything about it being able to be overpowered if an opponent is that strong, since the NP is Rank B and the ones who can deal with it generally has stuff specifically listing that they can bypass this type of defense.

I didn't put a play button in the post because I didn't want to hijack the soundtrack for a big scene, but I'm totally playing Rivers in the Desert throughout this entire fight. (We were collaborating via PMs for a bit but it's probably better to just use the OOC thread anyway)

Gen Strat Q: Assuming Airi actually does pinpoint some kind of weak spot(s) with her eyes, how can she get that info around to the people who can actually use it? I feel like yelling really loudly may or may not work.

Comment: Odysseus's NP might be able to break through the shielding?


I also really like the Servant idea!

Possibly, although I'm not too sure how he'll handle the mana cost on his own. While it would be ideal to have Alex around, if Beloss doesn't reply or decides for Alex to stay on his ship after all, perhaps another Master could help Odysseus with the supplying of mana?

The question is can someone say Cao Cao's name near the golem and allow him to appear within the golem, behind the anti-spirit shields and defenses?

It's clear that one of us will have to get eaten by the golem to get inside its belly

Alright, I posted it in the Character section.

@SIGINT
Thanks! I tried to go for something more mild than the usual stuff for the franchise.

EDIT: Also could someone clarify which the current Masters / Servants in the HGW are? I'm not sure which of those in the Character tab is considered inactive / expelled.

Yelling loudly is fine. It's also good to keep in mind that, unless you're doing it to cast a spell/deploy an NP/activate a CS/something similar, talking is a free action.
