This looks interesting. Haven't tried out a Fate RP where the servant identities are not public before, so this should be fun.

I'll claim Assassin, if that's okay.

Hmmmmmm... I'm not sure what to do right now. Saving Airi from falling to her doom is an option, but I'm not sure if that is something either Xavier (he has displacement magic, yes, but will he be able to cast fast enough?) or Moses are capable of doing. Any ideas?

Fate/Empty Providence

As a third party, I'm in favor of Rostam's case being given a retrial as it were, however I think at this point it might be too late to retcon him as having survived, since a couple people have already reacted IC to his death.

I also agree Rostam's death was kind of anti-climactic, but anti-climactic deaths have happened a few times in canon works too. Something something, honorable heroes never die honorable deaths, because Grail Wars are evil and humans are jerks, something something.

I do think that @Beloss should be allowed to app a new Servant character (later on obviously, as the GM said), since death IC shouldn't mean exclusion from the RP.

@Moonlit Sonata Also, in regards to the whole "Once 7 Servants have fallen the War will end" thing that Ruler mentioned a while back, so far the body count is:

Lancer Nimrod (killed by NAGATO)
Berserker Muramasa (killed by Dulle Griet)
Rider Rostam (killed by NAGATO)
Assassin Cao Cao (will be killed soon???)
Rider Hugues (was killed off-screen or something???)

So, does that mean we're already more than halfway there, or do only Servants killed by official Grail War participants (aka not NAGATO) count towards the 7 total?

@Moonlit Sonata

Isn't expecting someone to know that the burst movement speed of a Servant outranks the speed of a Phantasmal beast a bit extreme though? It seems like a minute detail, especially when there's no real way to have known the speed with which NAGATO's attack came out. I'm not trying to be argumentative or anything, it just didn't seem obvious to me that the action taken to avoid the attack wasn't a viable way of dodging it.

@DrowsyPangolin

Hmmmm... after reading both posts again, I do kinda agree it was an obscure fact (granted, I don't know every little fact about Type Moon, so I'm in no position to question its authenticity). It's doubly weird because it is implied that the only way for Rostam to have dodged the attack would've been to jump off his steed, which is something a proud Rider would almost never do.

I'm not taking any sides either. I actually think it was a fair death, considering that Rostam run head on towards an unknown enemy. Then again, it's Rostam, so it was in-character for him to act reckless. Poor guy will be missed :(

Fate/Empty Providence

Aaaand does this mean that Lorelei can summon another servant as well? If so, i have an idea (@Kost Alter) of who to summon among the last two remaining servants. Ya know, unless said servant want to choose a different possible master. XD

@Holy Grail

If I recall @Cu Chulainn had also said he might be interested in summoning Tentacle Caster (speaking of her, I've recently added some misc. info in her profile), but as of now she's still up for grabs. PM me that idea you had and we can work something out.

Rostam nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! T^T

Resisting the Urge to Make a "Tohsaka's Defenseless ■■■■" Joke, Eastern Field, Fuyuki City

To say that Xavier was surprised would be putting it lightly; Out of all the Eldritch monstrosities one would expect a Demon Castle to transform into, a human-like being was on the bottom of such a list. "Is that... the Black-Haired Man?" Xavier muttered, remembering the discussions that had occurred earlier in the meeting - before the Demon Castle had shown up - regarding a third party that was interfering with the Holy Grail War itself. It looked like that notorious third party was this pale-skinned man of long, raven hair. If Xavier actually knew the identity of that man. he'd probably feel even more shocked and confused right now, but alas a foreign magus like him had no way of recognizing the head of a 200-year-old Japanese family of mages based on outward appearances alone...

Who was this man? What was his goal? What motivated him? Could he even be called a man, or was he an existence more on par with an Undead or a Demon?

Xavier's analytical mind raced with those and many other similar questions - intriguing mysteries that he did not have the luxury to worry about right this moment. Because, if one thing was certain about this Black-Haired Man was that he was not to be messed with! The fact that he had willingly transformed probably meant that this current form of his - whilst a lot smaller than his golem form - was actually stronger, or at least more efficient and reliable for this particular battle. It was even evident by the ludicrous amount of magical energy that swirled around the being's fists - this was no ordinary man.

It was then that one of the other Servants - a small girl in traditional Eastern armor - made a formidable structure akin to a Fortress rise from the ground - presumably her Noble Phantasm - and beckoned all Masters to get in there for safety. "Hmmmm... That does look like a very effective way of keeping the Masters out of harm's way." Xavier thought in his inside voice.

"I suggest you get there with haste Master." Caster communicated with him through their link. "I shall watch your back. If this Black-Haired Man tries to attack you..."

"Alright." Xavier responded. And with that, the Arkwright magus started sprinting towards the Fortress summoned by the girl Servant, applying Reinforcement to his own legs so that he could hopefully get there faster.

What an undignified situation... The Holy Grail War had barely even started and Xavier Arkwright was already running away for his life. On the other hand, running away was a very effective way of avoiding death, so he couldn't complain.

Suddenly my earlier Rin comment becomes even more hilarious in hindsight lmao

ALSO...

I'll respond to Nagatozilla and Yukimura's invitation when I see what others will do.

Fate/Empty Providence

Post deployed.

tl;dr Xavier thinks everybody's an Archer. He's like a reverse Rin
