[OOC] Fate/Crimson Dusk

[vancexentan]

Is everyone busy right now?

[Reflection]

I'm focusing on graduation, but once that's over, I'm sure I can bust out a post. Was kind of waiting for Cosmo,

[vancexentan]

@ReflectionYou made a fate rp are you out of this one?

[Reflection]

@vancexentanstill in this one. Wanted to try GMing one again. I should be posting tonight for here.

[ManyThings]

Oh, I didn't know we were jumping forward like that. Should we have left anyone back at the base, for safety and to guard it? Not to mention it could lighten the NPC load since the enemy characters are probably going to show up soon.

[vancexentan]

The church staff are there but if its a concern I can leave Assassin and King there I jumped forward to prevent boredom

[ManyThings]

It does feel weird sending out the entire faction at once to investigate one thing, though it makes sense so that all players get a chance to act. I think I'll have Decival stay back and watch via familiar since he's support and isn't ready to deploy any creations yet, but he'll send Lancer out with a containment canister.

[vancexentan]

@ManyThingsAs I said in the post a large amount of Od suddenly came up in case the enemy faction was making a move it would make sense to mobilize the group to quickly stop them if possible. I also believe you're overestimating the importance of the church. Unlike The Garden of Babylon our hideout is just that.

[ManyThings]

Fair enough. I'll send out both my characters for this one.

[vancexentan]

Anyone going to post soon?

[Reflection]

I'm working on a post now, since I just got out of graduation, and settled back home.

[King Cosmos]

Sorry, I was waiting on a post from Archer. I'll get something up soon.

[vancexentan]

Alright I'll respond after.

[The Irish Tree]

Meant to post last night, but I'll do so today. Sorry, been enjoying freedom from college.

[vancexentan]

Playing Mercenaries Playground of Destruction (currently am going for the ace of clubs at the time of writing this), and then I'm grinding in F/Go because Merlin comes out. I'll post tomorrow if possible but I got stuff to do.

[vancexentan]

Started a bit of action won't be too major but first contact is a thing.

[ManyThings]

Worth noting that Rider probably would have seen these attackers coming and Lancer would've had a good chance to depending on how they were made invisible. This doesn't seem like a fight that should be too dangerous even as an ambush, since if Masters can fight these chimeras Servants ought to cut through them like butter, but it's good to remember that 2 party members are more or less running see invis/truesight and there are likely things you'll want to let us know we can see, especially in the forest.

[vancexentan]

@ManyThingsProbably but they're mixed hidden by a special sort of magic, and magecraft. Monica just canceled out the magecraft section. She sensed the things by way of her second to last spell. While it is fair to say that out in the open you'd have seen them coming in the forest less so since it is much more in the domain of the enemy caster who's actively assisting the already potent illusion magic. I can't really say more without giving unintentional hints of enemy caster's identity.

Point I'm trying to make the full body illusion gives them an equivalent of making their bodies invisible. While the other magecraft is a sort of presence concealment which will get stronger the closer they are to the proximity of enemy Caster. Regardless their strength isn't meant to be all powerful more to be useful killing tools Lancelot clearly showed that one can dispatched them relatively easily but that doesn't make them less dangerous.

[ManyThings]

Well, fair enough. The telescope can't see through things ranked B or higher on the Servant scale, so if a Caster was involved it probably won't work. I can't speak to Rider's ability since that's @King Cosmos's business.

Anyway there have been a few posts with things like "I'm scouting the area" and I haven't seen many results from that unless it was in PMs, so I want to make sure our good surveillance utility doesn't go to waste.

[vancexentan]

The outline of the forest is more than likely not teeming with anything dangerous on the edge at least. The inner part of the forest is shaded with darkness making it clear something is at work be it the enemy caster, or the Grey's work. Meaning these ones probably got through by use of presence concealment.
