You are Anon, a 6’2” albino man of exceptional strength and magical energy who can remember neither his past nor own name, and a Master in the Akeldama Great Holy Grail War, which is taking place in a city in an artificial world called Akeldama. Your Servant is Avenger of Red, a winged girl wielding considerably powerful magic who has declined to tell you her true name as of yet. Most recently you’ve returned to the city of Akeldama from a different city that the self-proclaimed overseer, Father Triscus Adajio, had planned on wiping out after relocating all of the remaining occupants to random positions in the main city. As the transfer takes place, you and the three other Masters you’ve decided to join for the time being are deciding how to approach the situation so you can rescue and protect as many uninvolved civilians as you can.

Quoted By:
>>5481638 Abraham was also the person who stood up to and dabbed on Nimrod and polytheism/nature worship un general with YHWH support. Nimrod was also the whole reason the Universal Language was revoked from mankind by YHWH after his Tower of Babel project + a bow said to shoot down even angels. He wished to confront YHWH himself and probably got the closest out of anyone in lore.
Nimrod is also the Abrahamic lore version of GIlgamesh + Nebuchadnezzar II and a direct heir of Noah. He also has the divine robes of light YHWH crafted from the Leviathan's hidecto protect Adam and Eve after they were expelled from Eden. They render the user impervious to all harm and grants them effectively EX Charisma. (Stolen from Noah on the ark by his ancestor. He also has the first conceptual "crown", that supposedly fell from heaven and was basically king of mankind at the time.
Nebuchadnezzar II also defeated and captured Israel right after the last biblical mention of the Ark of the Covenant, meaning he hypothetically gained access to it and it's contents - a Jar of Maana, Aaron's Rod and the Commandments + YHWH's Throne on Earth as the Ark itself. https://youtu.be/POg0UhVKOXM Anonymous
As for the update, I'm thinking suggesting an alternative means of contacting in the event of a wartime emergency causing issue with the meeting. Maybe just initially verbally speak to Avenger (quietly) first to ask her opinion about the idea of establishing some form of contact/comms link. Have her to vet it first? Before actually suggesting it. Also asking if she has any alternative or suggestions?

>>5481757 > Request a brief recess, explain the situation to Avenger and ask if she has any ideas. Either she will have something to add or will make walkie-talkie or anything like that. Either way, we are not really forced to come here in 48 hours if we get more important business at that time or something radical happens. It would just be a potential waste of opportunity.
Also, Abraxas being amicable so far is a good sign and he gave us some solid new information. It could be worth it to talk with Avenger about Ur of the Chaldeans or have her investigate an option for us to gain telepathy. Like brewing a potion to awaken latent psychic powers. Since it supposed to be possible according to him.
>Telepathy is an undeveloped skill to most, yours truly excluded, but the contract between Masters and Servants seems to ‘force open’ mental faculties that would normally be inactive. Delving into the mind might like that could also be useful to probe if we have sealed memories. At the very least, we might unlock communication skill for our makeshift team.

If Truvi jobs again and we need to rescue her ass yet again it just adds more question to an already big pile of them about her competency. However, seeing another group with our own eyes could be beneficial.
Subway could win us favor with Odin if we kill one who wounded his raven. And in cramped space we have an advantage over Archer since Avenger already mentioned her ability to use unrestrained chemical warfare and it does to require line of sight or walking into traps. Adds a chance to smoke out Archer's Master too. And we could leave Odin with a comms crystal in case something else happens with Truvi's group or HQ.

>>5500776 Maybe something halfway between the choices to revive her without expending too much of ourselves. That woman had a lot of fight in her. She might prove valuable with her own personality still there, but we risk being pretty worn down and having extra baggage if we sacrifice blood to just heal her back into a normal human and Avenger is pretty possessive.
> “Guide her transformation so that she’s still sapient, but loyal to us.” >Give her the option of suicide/being mercy killed or fighting alongside us once she's conscious. We're not exactly heartless enough to just make her a slave, for a normie human she seems to have done pretty damn well for herself survival-wise until the likely rank 2/3 DA thrall found his way in.
https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_Apostle obviously not something we know in character, but I'd assume rank 2 or 3 as it speaks, feels no pain and has its own personality of sorts. It's not full shambling corpse NPC so it seems to have reached some middling level of re-sapience as an undead/ghoul stage.

>>5500869 Also communicate the intention through the mental link, probably shouldn't tell anyone other than Avenger that we had a hypothetical option to prevent her transformation. Nor should we give any info to nugget by speaking out loud. Opens a can of worms but we've spent quite a bit already today. This'll probably be the last thing we do before returning and sleeping after we torture the corpsenugget.

>>5500869 >>5500871 Mixing Avenger's NP and our blood options could guide her transformation and make her closer to true ancestor/nature spirits since our homunculus blood and elements are very high quality and pure as it gets. Bootleg version of true ancestor but it could solve need for her to drink blood, make more useful ally/kin for us and dab on this guy and his master. And won't need to use that much of our blood since Avenger's NP would do the heavy lifting.
>A perfect homunculus is essentially a man-made artificial extension of nature >Unique existences even among the vampires, the True Ancestors(真祖, Shinso?) are incarnated nature spirits, being classified as Elementals,[1][2] said to be the original bloodsucking species independently established by the planet as its sense of touch.[3][2] They are vampiric creatures from birth, however, unlike the Dead Apostles and other blood-sucking species, the root of their bloodlust is psychological rather than physical.

Limit the use of blood to avoid us becoming anaemic. Give her a cathartic end to her attacker and a bit of a pre-emptive loyalty boost so she's willing and not a slave. Hopefully will bode better when returning to allies.
When we interrogate mr nugget, hopefully Avenger figures out he's going to need a masterless battery source of mana so he can be properly cut off from his source and compelled to speak with her collection of truth inducing sips. Otherwise we risk causing feedback or him ending his subscription to un-life before we get what we wanted.

Do you want to alter the transformation using your blood as an additional ingredient to dampen the dehumanizing effects of vampirization as the primary objective? And if you found out you got lucky and were able to completely negate the transformation, would you refrain from doing that and leave her as an undead due to the usefulness of having a new minion?
I ask this because the procedure Avenger plans on using your blood for isn't exactly compatible with leaving the infected blood alone. It should be reasonable to tell you ahead of time that she'd either try to have you extract all of the Ether-infected blood by coagulating it after combining it with your own (using regular Ether), or directly neutralize it after letting your blood circulate (using True Ether). I also planned on having RNG determine which method had better compatibility since it would be your first time trying something like this.
Or would you want to try to infuse regular Ether into your own blood and hope Avenger can use her NP to let your Ether blood overpower some of the ill-effects of the vampire blood?
I would have wanted to explain the mechanics of this in a story update but then I'm concerned we'd be going back and forth for ages. Might be bad QMing on my part.

Is there a particular difference in end results here between these two? Apart from RNG determining efficiency of each method.
I would prefer to get a unique underling (and preferably one who does not suffer by merely existing) who exceeds in both power and potential our buddy here the nuggetman and his boss (whomever he maybe). If only to have them die by her hand.
And can you post prepared character art for girl if you have it or we are yet to get a good look of her? I am interested in seeing if she prepared to play a role in "shojo battle manga" experience she is getting dragged in.

She was still thrashing about, but you couldn’t help but get the impression that her movements had intentionality to them that her earlier seizures lacked. In addition, you could see her black hair had been bleached into a familiar white. Every now and again one of her hands would reach out from the turbulent pool, but Avenger would push it back under with her staff if it remained exposed for more than a couple seconds. In all, the ritual proceeded like that for about half a minute, before Avenger took her staff and buried it a couple inches into the ground at the edge of the pool.

>>5505352 A lot of sass towards her new
mother >>5505356 I'd ideally start with mental comms to Avenger about either disconnecting the link between nuggetman and his master, and if possible giving him a temp battery to force him to stay alive long enough. Then a cocktail of compulsion + truth potions to get him in the mood to talk.
Or float the idea of Avenger identifying the link with his Master and sending something negative through the connection? Depending on her currently unknown skills/NPs and their use here. Or use her NP to metamorph the target regardless of the DA master's hold over the servant if that would force information out of him and skip the other processes. As long as this wouldn't result in the master keeping control over a now transfigured ghoul.
Go with what she deems the highest likelyhood of success in terms of damaging the master.
Assuming we go for questioning as Avenger doesn't see the other option too viable, I'm thinking a good cop (you)/bad cop (Avenger) routine, as he's seen that with your direction this girl he killed was saved/converted. Bluff our own status as a special DA maybe? Avenger can have as much fun as she likes in regards to the actual methods of torture. If he feels proper despair her NP works better too. Jen can decide his fate at the end of the process, either conversion at peak despair via NP or she can dust him as initially requested, seeing as he took her original life from her.
As for questions:
>How many people have you killed? (get him gloating) >Where have you been recently? >Where/when were you converted?(inside this city/recently) or did you know your master outside this place? >Anything Avenger/Jen has in mind? >Any info possible about master identity/abilities/location etc. possibly worded in such a way that gets him gloating/flexing this.

>>5508575 TL;DR so far (I might have missed a few things).
PHH Tezcatlipoca is a gigachad who can casually swap the future with the present as one of his NPs. Art by Usagi Drop. Shota "Dinosaur Kang" LB Tez is also there and hasn't done anything yet. PHH TEz is Daybit's servant and Bersekrer (Grande). Daybit hates mankind (possibly a human manifestation of Gaia) and has FSF Jester's goal of awakening ORT to delete the planet and remove mankind. Nito gets brutally murdered by genderbend /fa/ Tlaloc. Kukulkan aka Quetz (True) is the LB king. Jaguarman is a dinosaur. The story is set in a timeline where Pangea never split, ORT landed and seems to have woken up before. Camazotz (who is always upsidedown) is batshit crazy (heh), saw ORT awaken in the past and wants to see it happen again. Dechi Alter and FSN DEEN BDSM King Protea appear. Corrupted by Aztec masks before rejoining (you). Vitch, Olga and Rasputin are allies (Kirei will betray you and Casgil tells you to behead him immediately). Casgil also claims Ea is the only thing that can crack ORT's outer shell. Olga has some delusional (lie) memory replay quest where you kill all 7 grands with her (supposedly pre story). The 7 Grands are Castoria (Saber), Orion (Forma Superhuman - Archer), ROMA (Lancer), Tai Gong Chinkman (Rider), Merlin (Caster), King Hassan (Assassin) and a shadow servant of Tez. Mind you she shits herself when you meet Tez and at least two of those grands gave up their seat already so she's likely bullshitting. Olga's also written as UUUU bait with Eresh/Melt like scenes and spaghetti when you spam click her NP which she refuses to show you. (You) fight ORT and lose at the end of the currently available part, and any servants that die in the fight get turned into green crystal and SUCC'd. There's also some fucking horrid art design datamined 5* Avenger who looks like Miura's autistic son drew WAKANDA FOREVER man. He's either OC or has the engrish name of a major Mexican civilisation and leads a human force of jaguar masked machine gun users in dinosaur land. Anonymous

>>5509028 I am not really bothered by it. That's hardly any different from using Darnic.
And my knowledge of Dies Irae is mostly coming from seeing Fate vs Dies Irae shitposts, checking that Dies Irae is, being not particularly impressed by plot summary and art of girls in it at that time and accidentally remembering some characters from it. So it is not like I can metagame about her even if I wanted.

Suddenly invigorated, the young Master processed what happened immediately as the result of being the target of one of his own Servant’s skills, ‘Hero’s Assistant’. Shattering one of his opponent’s attacks with his shield, Yumigawa suddenly surged forward, leaping over the trenches and punching holes into the barricades by bracing the shield against his shoulder. As he was now, he could easily leap onto the plateau the magus had drawn up.

“They’re still alive? Worth a try.” The Servant’s voice gently echoed from the crater that had been gouged into the road. Emerging from the depression was a small blonde girl with the designation ‘Kuro no Berserker’. With a handful of bullets in her left hand and her right pointing in the shape of a “finger-gun” at the Assassin (whom Yumigawa just recognized as Assassin of Black), she started dropping them onto her “gun” hand, nonchalantly saying, “Bang”.

“You could have recommended all three of us stand-by if that were the case, or used low-risk attacks that didn’t leave you exposed for long. There has to be another reason.” Rushorou asserted.
With a faint smile, Caster asked, “You already have an idea of it, do you not?”
“You specifically want us Masters to fight, but I’m not sure why.” The young man answered, “A chess analogy would place Servants as queen pieces and Masters as kings, and nearly every strategy keeps the kings away from battle until no viable alternative is available, as checkmate is the loss condition. So, where does the analogy break down?”
“There is more than one inconsistency, but the most pertinent is the fact that kings can’t be ‘promoted’, so to speak. However, that is not the case for the two of you.” The wizened old man said with a faint smile, “I’ve taken an interest in watching over your lads’ development into a new type of hero.”
“Well shucks Caster, I really am touched, but will beating up on wizards a few times close the gap between us and freakin’ Servants?” Matsuda asked sarcastically, suspecting his Servant was advertising more than he could deliver.
“You haven’t noticed it yet I see. I believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised at your progress in the coming days, though for now we ought to finish our survey.” Caster answered cryptically, irking the boys somewhat but not sufficiently to exhaust their patience.
Traveling southeast, the rest of the survey progressed without further opposition, though they located a third leyline of weaker intensity in the replica-Minato, not far outside replica-Shinjuku. After tarrying there for a short while, they headed toward the tower, though Avenger of Red sought them out and briefly explained the events her party’s experience before they reached it. You know at least some of what happened next.

Turning his head, Ogawara saw the Master with the Saber standing at her side through his watering eyes. He recognized the Master’s school-uniform as belonging to the Shuchiin Academy, arguably the most prestigious private school in all of Japan, and the scrutinizing glare she directed toward him would normally have intimidated him into slinking away in a fit of anti-social anxiety while stammering pitifully inadequate excuses. Right now though, he answered with labored steadiness of tone, “If your Servant kills me with that glow-stick, I’ll be dead and it’s over… but if I let you kill Kiyo to save myself, I’ll die every day I wake up for the rest of my life.”

Taking a deep breath to collect himself, Yatsuhide answered again while hoping for the best, “It’s also because… in her legend, the person she fell in love with didn’t want to have anything to do with her. So she never got to experience what it was like for someone to love her. And… until today, I was sure I’d end up the same way. I know how it feels to be lonely like that, so it doesn’t seem right to let her second chance at life end like it did before.”

Odin just got checked pretty hard.
"GODS could be here" she thought, "I've never been in this neighbourhood before. There could be GODS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against her bare
abs. "I HATE GODS" she thought.

...I am the Hun and I am a warrior serving the God of War." she thought to herself, out loud.

>>5513522 The Akeldama ritual space kneels to Civilisation Erosion.
Also, if her autism ever switches off, or her master is made aware of her capabilities/the circumstances of the war or similar..
>Civilization Erosion (EX Rank): A subconsciously active Skill of the Heroic Spirit Altera. Anything in Altera's grasp is transformed into its best form currently most suited for herself. This is based on Altera's own perspective, not necessarily reflecting the object at its greatest or most excellent.[1] In this case, anything within Altera's grasp is transformed into the Photon Ray sword, an ability shared by her Moon counterpart, who additionally can summon the sword at will.[20] Coins, other important ritual components, parts of the world itself,
living beings aren't outright excluded from Civilisation Erosion if she grabs them. >When Chaldea is assailed by Sumerian Fever, Altera is the only one unaffected thanks to her Natural Body Skill and her resistance to the planet's mythology. Ignoring Nergal's disease authority by just outright rejecting mythology born of the planet. Stood up to Solomon!Goetia even through Nega Summon and damaged Ars Paulia.
Also, every single incarnation of Altera is linked with the main body
Velber 02. Vore the ritual. Destroy the false Civilisation.

Also Bryn chemistry will be interesting if they ever meet. That and Odin would know of her, and her proper capabilities seeing as he used Velber remains to craft the Valkyries including Bryn.
