Ludwig Von Gravenheim Krauste

Hilltop Church

@Kyoka @Reflection @EnterTheHero

They had been walking for a while, Ludwig clearly angry with the man he was basically being forced to tow all the way to this church. Yeah, he didn't have to, but if there was a doctor involved in this whole manipulation and mind control thing, he wanted to at least protect him and save him.; After all, the effects his concoctions and the plans he had for him and Archer, they weren't going to be exactly satisfactory for the other masters. Doing one good deed was going to make him feel a little better for what was down the road.

So as he approached the church hill from the east he began to sense a commotion coming from the way to the Church. Keeping to the shadows best as he could, Archer by his side, he dragged the man to a bush where he quickly ducked into and observed the goings on. From what he could gather...there was a man running to the church shouting for help. Ludwig stared in awe. No way he had struck this lucky. it had to be a set up? Some master must have known, or even had planted the phrase into this man knowing Ludwig would go to the church and seen this spectacle of servants and masters. Breathing heavily he turned to the unconscious man, quickly grabbing him and pushing him into a bush before getting up.

"Archer, could you investigate the servants fighting? Figuring out some identities could be helpful.." he sighed, unstrapping a bright green flask from his belt and got up. "Well, I should be alright...seeing as this doctor was also a target of our Japanese friend.."

He made a dash from the bushes, the mask clad figure streaking through the landscape towards the church, breathing heavily and panting. He didn't bolt for long till he ground to a halt, hands on his knees as he looked to the black haired Xerxes with confusion. "G-get inside...safe...yeah?" He asked, the man clearly out of breath. "I'm here to help, is there someone inside?"

It was risky, he knew that, but if this guy was the doctor he had been told about, someone wanted him dead badly. If anything, this was leading a master straight to him. But the master didn't know Ludwig had met the doctor yet, which meant if anything he had an advantage. However, already Ludwig had forgotten about the poor Japanese "master" he had already encountered.

Life. It really was such a complicated thing. Had she not been vacant from this world for so long, maybe she would have felt different walking this foreign soil in a country that she had been led to believe was not too far from her beloved homeland.

Yet here she was, with her master. A shrine was delightful to observe, even if it was not to the gods she was familliar with and as she turned to the woman who had summoned her a small smile crept to Rider's lips. The tall woman with the perfect raven hair was someone who many men had dreamed of being with in her lifetime, yet she had no interest in ever serving a man, in any way possible. She was free, she was a human and she was born to be free.

Being classified as a Servant, was not something she was overly thrilled about, but she took the title in her stride as she did most things. Luckily for her, her master was kinder than others and had chosen this delightful spot. Reminded her of the mountains. of that moment. Of course her master may not have heard of her, yet she was glad history had remembered her. That she had even had the chance to reincarnate as a temporary spirit so that she too might have a chance at winning what she sought the most in her lifetime and in her afterlife.

"Master, do not trouble yourself with the thought of defeat." A warm sincere smile appeared on her face as she tapped the sheath of her sword against the ground. "I never stop fighting for what I believe in, this war is unlike any I have ever encountered before. I will fight those from before and after me, yet they remain the same. Enemies. Enemies in the way of myideal, which is also your ideal. And I will not stop fighting for what I believe in, in this case, that is you."

She nodded to her and swished her robe as she turned to face the landscape before them. "The war is underway and I have yet to encounter any other of my fellow warriors, would it suit you if I remained by your side in this forest or shall I venture out. No matter what I promise you, this war shall not be in vain. We have our chances, there is never a situation where there is no chance. You will survive this, I promise you this." She tapped her other sword to the ground and tied them both back to her back, patting the Polish girl on the shoulder.

"The moon smiles upon us tonight, shall we answer her with blood, or with worship?"

Doctor? Ludwig watched this pathetic guy who thought he was a mage basically tell him everything he needed to know. Of course what he really wanted to know was who gave him these orders. Whoever did this to this man, they were a master of illusion and persuasion, he had no doubts in his mind that this man had been mind controlled. it was possible, he'd seen it done. Certain incantations and charms could make one more easily persuaded or make them go against their own human nature. It was a disgusting thought that someone was altering the minds of people, putting them in their stead.

Rubbing his temple again he thought about his words. Sent to kill a doctor? Maybe he meant a healer, he was aware it would be likely that someone who dealt with curing and healing magic would be present in the ticking time bomb that was this Fuyuki war. Or maybe it was more accurate, some doctor had actually got involved in this war. Maybe it was even a warning shot of sorts...maybe he was sent to kill a doctor who was friends with the Matous? No...this was all just nonsense.

Then it hit him. Watching? They were watching him? Shit...maybe this guy had been charmed out the wazoo, someone was probably looking through his eyes or had familliars locked on him. Either way..he was a risk. ludwig didn't want to kill him, it was probably the best option but he didn't want innocent blood on his hands on the first night. Everyone else in this war, they knew the consequences, this man surely did not. Don't worry...that's enough" He sighed and looked to Archer. Surely Athena would've seen hercules or sensed him by now..so it was time to take care of business.

He reached into his satchel and took from it a rag, just a normal piece of cloth and took a vial from it, pouring a large amount of the contents onto it before turning to the man. "This will help you I suppose" With that he motioned for Archer to keep him steady as he pressed the rag to his mouth and nose quickly, the concoction something he had brought from home, something he was intending on using if someone had broke into his workshop. With it secured, he'd be able to waste some of it on this guy as it was over in Shinto whilst he was here in Miyama. The fumes from the liwuid and the smell would invade the man's nostrils and lungs, forcing an induced sleep.

After the man would slump into his drowsiness he nodded to Archer. "If anyone was using him as a beacon it's good now...we need to take him to the church, that's the only safe place I can think of, you good with carrying him?" He shrugged and obviously looked embarassed to even ask a hero of legend to carry the man. He took the drowsy mans arm and pulled on it. If she wanted to carry him she could, but he could force him to walk for now.

The man rushed in with the knife. The swish and flash of the blade was sudden, Ludwig being an untrained fighter, he had no idea how to react to this sudden rush. In an instant, he quickly realised the reality of the Grail War. Death could come so early so suddenly with little more than a man with a knife. He tensed up and made a move to fall backwards in a lame attempt to avoid contact and to not get stabbed in the stomach. So some guy actually wanted to kill him straight off the bat? This had to be that Japanese gangster guy with the weird hair.

He opened his eyes to reveal, oh look. He blinked and looked around and got to his feet dusting himself off. Speechless he glanced to Odysseus who had the man in a firm lock, knife inches away from ending the poor guy's life. Ludwig grinned underneath his mask and tightened the straps. Last thing he needed now was to inhale some dirty chemical, no doubt another dirty trick whoever this man worked for had in store for him. He groaned as he thought about his idea. He was supposed to travel inconspicuously and not get tailed or tagged, now this guy knew where he was. But he couldn't kill him! There was no way this guy actually had a servant.

Fingers rubbing his temples, he took his hand way and listened to Archer. She had a good idea. This man probably had information. And judging by his tempremant and way of attacking, he might be a squealer. "Ah it appears you're right.."He chuckled slightly and leaned back on his feet before walking around the pair. "Alright, first off my friend, who sent you? You obviously don't have a servant so you must work for someone...that uh, Gin guy? Wait no...Einzerbn? Tohsaka? Matou?" he cocked his head and moved closer, motioning Archer to keep him in her grip. "Just tell me everything you know about why you're here to kill me, and I'll make sure you leave here without too much time, ja?"

After the unfortunate breach of his definitely well concealed well protected base, Ludwig had went into the normal mode of over thinking. This started with moving all valuables out of view. Then during the day after a brief discussion with "Athena" he had began hiring wanderers and himself to begin the transfer of his laboratory and equipment through the city to an Inn just by the harbour. After a brief conversation with the inn owner, and him presenting a hefty ammount of gold the family had given to him, he had acquired the entire top floor of the inn for the week.

After getting the majority of his equipment there, setting up tubes and a work bench, situating his cauldron as well, Ludwig secured the floor and went back to the bar where he had stationed Archer for the mean time. Walking through the streets, the masked alchemist was almost certainly a sore thumb in his long over coat and the mask with his long blond hair. As strangers whispered and talked about him as he passed by he stood in the middle of the street staring at the sky. As colour and mana blossomed in the oncoming night, he stood there frozen. The grail war was at hand. He was a participant.

A laugh escaped his masked lips as he returned to the bar, gazing upon what remained of his set up, stray bottles and flasks here and there, a large flask remained on the bar top, screwed shut and a label that read in German "tödlich". he smiled as he allowed Archer to stay out of spirt form and nodded to her. "The war has begun Archer! So far since the intrusion there have been no complications, after we arrive at the new base, we shall decide on our first move!" He gave her a smile, just visible poking out of his mask as he turned.

After gathering the rest into a rucksack he passed her too a long coat. "Here! It will help blend in, and truth be told, walking alone is not the best idea, would be nice to have someone else walking alongside me" with that he left the bar and gestured for her to follow before turning a corner and catching his breath. A man with a knife laid in waiting and he had glimpsed him in the nick of time.

Suddenly a small green vial was in his hands. "You who lurks in the shadows! Reveal yourself!"
