And we’re back! Low Speed Anti-Divine QM here, welcome to thread 3!
Quick recap of thread 2: Anon and his Avenger of Red fought off Kuro no Lancer’s clones (and later discerned his True Name to be Sun Wukong), palled around with Truvietianne, Rushorou, Matsuda, and their Servants for a while, blew a couple of shipborne Servants to smithereens, had a somewhat inconclusive but edifying spar with Matsuda, got a map of the city from Caster of Black, and started investigating part of the southwest section with Truvietianne and her Servant. Lastly, an unknown Servant announced their presence in spite of Anon’s earlier show of force.

So yeah ether Shaka Zulu or Kushites. Probably founder of their dynasty if they are Kushites. Chariots are big in Egyptian imagery so I am thinking Kushites more likely option.
Small chance of them being led by Prester John though.

>>5413632 > “Avenger, check the leyline yourself. If there are any further traps, disarm them. Afterwards do what you can to draw power from it. We’ll make our stand here.” Being some sort of primative from africa odds are they likely have a tracking skill, and as
>>5413759 mentions, giving a summon spammer access to a giant mana source is a very bad idea.
There's a chance if they may also have an anti beast trait, being hunters. So familiar spam might not be ideal when defending. But with extra leyline juice to feed it, it creates a distraction long enough for us to aim, charge and fire a leyline boosted nigger deletion beam spell directly at the servant.
We also have the raw stats to handle a few mooks + lancer should be able to rip and tear a few. Using DUDE's NP as a reference, his army has E~ stats. We can probably handle a few, with potential for buffs to push past our lack of equipment.

One odd thing is normal cavalry mentioned since 25th Dynasty/Nubians/Kushites did not have it as far as I am aware. Around the time of their rule, it only just begone to get massively spread in Neo-Assyrian Empire as part of trade with Phrygia and Scythia. Which was effectively used to defeat Urartu and Egypt's 25th Dynasty by Assyrians.

>When you speculated on the use of poison gas, she was reluctant to entertain the possibility, as she advised an unexpected change in the wind could cause it to lethally backfire, and her other offensive options would be more effective under most circumstances. But that's probably require few votes and a roll?
Apart from suggesting cluster munition type spells versus lightly armored troops, napalm fire walls to slow down and burn advancing troops and making leyline overload and explode if we were to retreat from a fight, I don't think we have much else to add that has not been used already. It is a bit too late for things like trying to make barbed wire or mines. I suppose turning one summon into suicide bomber might be doable but that's requiring set up and ability for summon to reach Rider's position and bait a melee strike.
But I think now that Akai no Rider mentioned wanting us alive, Anon should figure out that Rider's Master is a proper magus who wants to capture "Einzbern Master" alive.

Snapping you out of your contemplation, a third horseman managed to bypass the roadblock of the crashed chariot by spurring his horse to leap over it. Throwing the spear, you impale the mount before it lands, causing it to crumple to the ground before you rush forward and pick up a sword from the first horseman (that he’d had as a sidearm). The remaining crew of the chariot had also swiftly dismounted: two spearmen and two bowmen. Closing into a square formation, the bowmen took aim at Truvietianne while the spearmen took a low stance and braced their spears while holding their shields close together.

Seeing a second chariot plowing through the wreckage of the first, you realize this is a chance to further block up the breach and know you have to act quickly. Trusting your companion to deal with the soldier whose shield you’d just destroyed, you fling your sword into one of the two horses while stooping down to retrieve one of the fallen spears. You then charge at the remaining horse, running the beast through almost the entire length of the spear as you use all of your strength to drive forward against its momentum. Having killed both of the beasts driving to forward, you then dart to the front of the chariot itself, reach for a low-grip, and overturn it to make an even higher pile of wreckage than what it had just driven through. A few of its crew had dived out of it, but you quickly dispatched them by stomping their heads before they could get their bearings, picking up a sword and spear in the meantime.

Percy tipped his hand enough here that we and likely the opponents know his identity in character now.

When we get a moment alone with Avenger I think it would make sense to sit down and ask her to properly
examine us to help get a better understanding of our capabilities and possible origins. See's the best mage we have access too and it helps with the
bond level .
This current vote is very Avenger-y too, sneaky escape with a follow up parting shot barrage and a trap left to confound them. I hope she appreciates our efforts and ruse and not just grugging with high stats. We have the bluff using the importance of our own life they happened to let slip to buy time, which on the surface looks like a ploy to let us attempt escape. But on top of escaping also potentially bugs the leyline, which is then covered once more with the artillery strike, leading them to believe the leyline is a prize we didn't want to lose, and then after they are further thinned out by the barrage they then fall into the trap of the leyline in a potentially weakened state while we're busy getting some plot in the Church.
It's got a few redundancies to help avoid total failure, and if all goes well should be a pretty good dab and also earn some solid GBP with all allies, at a cost of royally pissing off Rider & Archer and having them never want to try negotiating again (assuming they survive).

Are we perhaps in a separate dimension that could have been a "tutorial area"? If it is the case and Church is that important, I think we could try to pull off Medea's move from FSN and try to get ourselves a second Servant. We have enough energy to support two and somebody loyal by default would be quite useful. Some Assassin could do wonders working for us as spotter for artillery fire and do reconnaissance since it is currently our weakest field. Ninja or Hassan would be perfect for this job.

It's also a good excuse for Avenger to get a read on everyone considering they're in a vulnerable position right now and get a bit more info on ourselves.
Mentioning the possibility of summoning a new servant would be worth too, if we can find anything that would facilitate the ritual here either as a location that acts as a closer conduit to the throne or through the magical knowledge of Truvi and Avenger. We really want a recon type servant seeing as Avenger's summons have autism. Percy can technically scout with the sandals and cap for fast invisible movement but we can only make guesses at that through knowing he had these items in life, we have no idea if they translated directly to NPs in his lancer summon.
I'd also probably want anon mentioning the name of percy if it was reasonable for him to be able to guess it by now, considering Rider all but said it when he talked about him being the hero who slew the gorgon. We can also bring up plans regarding potion mixing with a fragment of the head, if Avenger knew anything to that extent? Seeing as gorgon blood was a pretty well known special ingredient in greekoid herbology/potioncraft.
>In some Greek myths, blood taken from the right side of a Gorgon could bring the dead back to life, yet blood taken from the left side was an instantly fatal poison.

Of course, seeking to summon a second Servant would give the implication that you don’t believe the first is capable of serving your goals.

Hey QM, I was curious if you consider the greekoid mechachads canon or not in regards to this quest?
Just because assuming it's Circe, it would give her some magitek type knowledge and the sun authority would have a NANOMACHINE variant. Especially with her close connection to Odysseus and his kit and the gods/titans themselves.
https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Troia_Hippos https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Aigis https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Klironomia Or is just ancient divine magic to you? It's just a point of conflict in canon with a lot of people. Personally I think it's got potential but I don't really mind either way. Just want to know for future lore/mechanics discussions.

>>5439604 >I was curious if you consider the greekoid mechachads canon or not in regards to this quest? I'm probably not going to lean too heavily into the robot aspect of them, since in canon PHH they got scrapped by Titan-Altera in prehistoric times.
I also wasn't a huge fan of that revelation, largely because so many Divine Spirits are now derived from ayylmaos. I thought that should be unique to the True Ancestors since they were mini-me's of Type-Moon Brunestud, but now it's sounding more and more like Gaia is fucking lazy and waits for ayys to show up before dropping them into Divine Spirit roles. I think the fey and a few pantheons are still Earthlings at least.
It also made the designs for things like the Trojan Horse and Odysseus' armor too sci-fi for my tastes, though I have to wonder if the Aigis was fitted to Odysseus in a rush and that's why it still has what would be a boob-window if Athena wore it.
I should get into AI art and see if I can make something from that concept Silver-lining, a giant Mecha-Ares duking it out with Titan-Altera would undeniably be a cool visual.

>>5439767 The Fey and the Aesir are or should be native earthlings at least. Odin works alongside the jannieforce quite a lot of his own volition and has always been a very pro-humanity figure, enjoying testing them to push them forward. Chinks are supposed to be native too, Chyna and Japan. Most mainland yuropoor/slav/russ mythology alongside the Egyptians (which are horrible in terms of power in TM, or lost so hard to YHWH they never showed their faces again) seems to be Gaian too iirc.
However, depending on what new autism gets into Nasu's head, the Vanir and Jotunn might even have been originally ayys before Gaia shoved them into ayys as it may explain their conflict with the Aesir in myth canon. So Freyja being a Vanir and being a lore root origin of the grail system via Rheingold/Justeaze might mean even the cup is ayys being used to emulate the earth system of the throne and counter jannies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullveig is an aspect or alter ego of Freyja. She became the wife of Odin after he dabbed on her in a magic contest during the Aesir/Vanir war. She's also the Nordic root of "corruption via gold" -> became the origin of the Rheingold myth itself, which then became the basis for Einzbern magecraft and by extension the grail system as a whole.
All speculative but has actual mythological basis. However several homonculi specifically have the Child of Nature skill/trait which implies direct Gaian connection.
We've heard basically nothing about tribal gods from various cultures, they're all likely Gaian of some description too. Although Australian mythology is very Lovecraftian in nature and alongside Antarctica features prominently in Lovecraftian mythos.

Since Akeldama was namedropped and mass teleportation capabilities of his revealed, that should also rise alarms and suspensions for Avenger.

We should regroup with the others and search the city once the transfer takes place.” (Teleport to the pre-arranged rendezvous point, inform Yumigawa and Matsuda of these developments, and try to enlist their aid in rescuing any non-Masters) Good way of cementing alliance, plus search and rescue operation also provides benefits of looking for supply caches and buffing our allies since they need stronger coins more than us.
We should also remember Ogawara too now that we went back to the same church.
LSAD QM, are you planning to have more interludes from the pov of Ogawara or whatever adventures Yumigawa and Matsuda were on?
>>5445943 Don't forget to change it in pastebin.

So you decide it's too early to pick a fight with the overseer
though in-character you have no reason to believe the Servant is a Ruler, or even any idea what a Ruler is .
>>5446079 >LSAD QM, are you planning to have more interludes from the pov of Ogawara or whatever adventures Yumigawa and Matsuda were on? Probably yes on the former, for the latter I might leave it at your discretion (they can just summarize what happened or "go into detail" where I make a POV update based on it).

>>5448089 Well, not exactly for ooc don't poke Ruler reasons. More the fact he wasn't really providing any solid answers that weren't designed to provoke a negative response.
You don't continue to poke someone like that unless you want them to rise to the taunt. Or, you're really good at bluffing you have the means to back up the provocations.
And ultimately, what would killing him do? There's always the chance it destabilises the ritual and causes additional issues, he's shown no coins to incentivise killing him and if he's to be believed, his own servant isn't part of the set of those that are required to be defeated to conclude the ritual itself.
Truvi clearly hates him and dealing with him later also cements a bit more gbp with her as it adds a goal to the alliance of dealing with the overseer.
If anything I'd just chuck in a sneaky mental command to Avenger to try and place some form of locator beacon type spell/object down before we teleport out to regroup the alliance and exchange info.

No… this isn’t going to work. This overseer wouldn’t be so flippant in dealing with two Servants if he didn’t have some kind of advantage in his back pocket. You decide you’re going to have to swallow your pride and let him do things his way for the time being.

Hopefully the added spacial awareness can prove helpful. Maybe I can put interlude battles that you hear about on it as well and append an i to their notation (example: 3i for one occurring concurrently with thread 3).
The board seems to have been moving a bit more quickly recently, so this will probably be the last main update (excluding the interlude if you decide to ask for it).

Mainly the FGO event reminded me of that anime so I decided to watch it, and it ate up a few evenings. Nyaruko would be a funny addition to the cast, but actually dealing with Foreigners would be difficult from a writing perspective. When I started this I firmly decided against adding new and wacky things constantly if the only reason to add them is as a short-lived or hastily thought-out joke.

Though that mitigated rather than averted the damage, as each device exploded right after it was shot. His Master pressed behind his back, the Servant was hurled backward from the explosions, landing on his Master in the process. Rolling himself off her, he quickly checked her for injuries as she shook off the shock of the impact and the ringing in her ears.

After departing the pub, the party consisting of Yumigawa Rushorou, Matsuda Ryuuta, Lancer of Red, and Caster of Black headed northwest. They decided to move at a fairly brisk pace, though not quickly enough to eschew caution. After travelling about two and a half miles, Caster located a leyline in a section of the city that the boys recognized as closely resembling Tokyo’s Shibuya ward. After breaking the lock of an electrical substation in which the leyline seemed closest to the surface and entering, Caster suggested, “If we could remain in this area for a short while, I should be able to draw up some of this leyline’s power to fabricate weapons for you lads, which you’ll most likely need in the coming days.”

“Don’t worry Lancer, I won’t get drunk on power so easily. I’ve seen firsthand how normal humans are outmatched by your kind. But if an enemy Master leaves himself open to attack while you keep the Servant busy, I can’t help but feel as though I’d be a burden to you if I didn’t take action.” He answered, feeling a sense of responsibility to contribute when he could. In the back of his mind, he couldn’t help but feel apprehensive of the possibility of his Servant being defeated because he didn’t take decisive action. Even if he weren’t born a magus or homunculus with superhuman strength, he wasn’t about to let those circumstances alone mark him as an inferior Master.

Shortly afterward, Caster invited him to give directions on the equipment he’d like forged. From the cutting boards and steel plates they were able to fabricate a round shield, a couple large knives formed the base materials for a one-handed wakizashi, and some of the cloth and leather made a sheathe, sturdy belt, and shield strap to allow him wear the shield on his back while traveling. In his companion’s case, in addition to the crescent-bladed polearm Caster had also crafted something resembling a bandolier that allowed Matsuda to hang the spear onto his back, allowing him to have both of his hands free without discarding his weapon.

“I dunno about that ‘sensei’.” Matsuda said, “You got lucky before, but you might not be able to find a good hiding spot again fast enough.”
“If you’d like to rest up, Master, we can take Avenger’s Master’s suggestion on making a concealed camp nearby. I could hold off any pesky ghouls easily enough.” Caster said.
A decision needs to be made, and quickly. You consider what you should do as a false sun sets over a false world.

Base camp is required for the normies otherwise they'll become a burden and limit our own actions heavily. They'll probably become a target/
bait for an enemy servant in future but in that event you have most people then actively against that individual.
