You are Anon, a 6’2” albino man of exceptional strength and magical energy who can remember only faint vestiges of his past, is unaware of his real name, and is 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 so far. Most recently you’ve begun securing an area to relocate your base to with the assistance of two other Masters (Yumigawa Rushorou and Matsuda Ryuuta), looked through one of the supply caches that Ryuuta found in that area, and identified enemy incursions both at your old base and in the new region (Shinagawa ward).

I have a good idea of the Archer’s position now.” Avenger tells you as she flares her wings out. Looking back at the weapon-racks in the walk-in freezer, you see a rather wide selection of larger swords, polearms, and other weapons like maces and warhammers. Earlier you’d picked up a broad-bladed sword that was a bit longer than a dagger; you think it might be called a ‘gladius’, or was at least something similar. It looked suitable for stabbing, hacking, and slashing alike, so you figured it would serve well as a sidearm. Should you pick up something else before you go, or just get a move on?

You see an axe like pic related, but for the sake of brevity I'm going to go with a first-come/first-served weapon choice unless other anons like the axe better. Though when you get back from this outing there's nothing stopping you from trying the axe or something different next time.
Could you also give your reasoning for wanting an extra gladius? I assumed two weapons would be sufficient since Anon only has two hands to wield them with. Is it an extra precaution in case one of the weapons gets sundered or you want to throw one?

>>5578727 Well if it sticks to the Hammer option I'm fine with it I thought I'd see what exactly Is in the weapons rack.
Figured that given our strength and over all enhanced nature I figure the ideal sort of weapon set up would be a two handed weapon alongside two one handed one handed weapons has two different ways to deal with fighting. The big axe/hammer for crowds and the gladiuses for one on one and speeding through
Having another gladius is something of a back up like you're thinking of, but I also figure we're more capable of dual-wielding and wanna get some practice with that in.

The mace would just be a bit slower and weaker compared to when he uses both hands to swing it around.
Though now that I think about it, taking a third weapon is hardly an issue. As long as you don't do anything ridiculous like try to wield one of the swords in your mouth there shouldn't be a problem.

“Just a second, I’ll pick up a bigger weapon before we go.” You answer, assuming that there’s a decent chance you might run into a few of Rider’s warriors or something similar when you’re out. Looking back at the weapons, a couple of them stick out to you. There are some are polearm-type axes that look promising, as well as some longer swords. Though one of the ‘swords’ looks less like a sword and more like a roughly-hewn block of iron with a handle at the end; you estimate that it would be so heavy that you’d have a rather difficult time controlling it, especially since it would throw your center of mass completely off from where your feet could maintain balance, regardless of what kind of stance you took. In the end, you settle for a large, flanged mace about four and a half feet in total length, with a ring near the handle that you could use to hook onto a sash or bandolier to carry it around when you’re not using it in battle.

Although at first she'd be experimenting on the best method of crafting an attack that's up to your specification, since it wouldn't occur to her to make something like that before you suggest it.
Also worth considering is her supply of minions, while large, is still finite, and they took some casualties when you fought the other day. If you could give a general estimate on how many you'd want to deploy that would be helpful (you may recall there are four different types: boar, lion, hound, and cock
rooster ). If your memory is fuzzy on their relative abilities Avenger described them toward the end of thread 2.

If she needs a bit more time and not to overextend herself: first teleport is not required.
Buffed beasts bog down our enemies and give her time to consider how to approach that kind of spell. And after supporting beats is no longer needed, we just teleport away and unleash that bombardment and now more exhausted enemy.

Stepping into the circle, you immediately find yourself standing on a road next to your Servant, slightly disoriented by the instantaneous transition. It may take some getting used to. Glancing behind, the park with the leylines you visited yesterday is visible in the distance, though there’s no sign of Aka no Rider from what you can tell. As Avenger sets up her grid of magic circles, you notice that the circles themselves look a little different from the ones she’d created to fire her spells, signifying their altered nature. When she opened fire this was confirmed, as the projectiles, though superficially similar to the earlier comet-like ones, appeared to have a core of ice-like crystals. You reason that to the conclusion Avenger came to was to make the projectiles hold a material that was set to violently shatter, rather than just being directed energy primed to explode on contact. It was beautiful in a way, as the new mortars had tiny, glittering shards of snowy dust trail behind them as they soared into the sky.

It happened faster than your mind could keep up. A Servant’s presence appeared on the roof of a building about a kilometer to the north. Avenger turned to face the sudden appearance. Something zipped through the air. Avenger clutched her right side with her free hand. You hear the sound of rifle-fire ring out. Avenger flies into you, pushing you to the ground as several more bullets zip through the air. You hear something that sounds like a cannon firing from the roof of the building to the north. A Servant bursts toward you, explosively landing on the road about ten yards from you and Avenger, cratering it a few inches as she makes contact. You see your Servant’s blood begin to stain your clothes as she grimaces in pain from the leaking bullet-wounds in her right side and shoulder. She leans on her staff as she rises to her feet and faces the new arrival.
“Greetings, you two.” You hear a short, blonde girl in a red dress with white and black frills chirp as the dust begins to settle. You recognize her as Kuro no Berserker, and see that she’s aiming a machine-pistol from the hip at you. Eyeing Avenger, she warns, “No sudden moves or parlor tricks, if you value your Master’s well-being. Let’s talk for a short while, I’ve become curious about the person who’s acted like an artillery officer the past couple days.”
“Gunfire is a rather ill-mannered greeting. And as much as we’d love to humor your curiosity, we were in the middle of something here.” You gruffly reply as you slowly rise to your feet, your eyes darting from the barrel of the firearm trained on you to the bleeding wound in Avenger’s side that she’s gripping uncomfortably. Your Servant had also deactivated the magic circles that she’d been using to fire on the Archer, presumably to make the Berserker less likely to shoot you out of the blue (and since they’d be dangerous to use at point-blank range anyway). You shift your stance a little bit and prepare to use your reinforcement spell, in case you need to dive away from the path of bullets.
“That is of little consequence.” Kuro no Berserker said dismissively, before raising her voice and loudly announcing, “The Archer will no doubt push forward after catching her breath, rather than slink away like a faint-hearted wench!”
<span class="mu-i"> “I can stabilize my wounds without her noticing; let’s stall briefly.” </span> You hear Avenger tell you through telepathy, before saying aloud, “Well then, what do you want us to talk about, little girl?”

You don’t want people to start getting the wrong idea about you: you obviously aren’t going to betray the people you’ve decided to partner with out of the blue. However, the way your Servant’s beasts fight could have given Matsuda and his Servant the wrong impression. Addressing Avenger, you say, “Dismiss the lions: we’re going to check on Ryuuta and Caster to quickly clear things up before we move on.”

We better hussle to get the civilians outta there or properly try to take him on. So I trust Jen's vampiric senses and Ether aligned quality will be able to pinpoint where the Master is and have her turn him into a Bloody Prana smoothie.
>>5606775 I'm leaning to the Theory that we're not a proper Einzbern Homoculus but that we were formed by Gaia itself. An Enkidu for the modern age so to speak, would explain the weird affinities.

From what I under stand of Wukong's Staff in Fate/Lore it has some "Texture"(aka Reality) fucking capabilities so is that in play?

>>5611115 Hmmm yeah I guess mine's a more specific "I dunno the identities so I'm running on the idea it's all the Old Man of the Mountain" sort of instinct I'm taking to. But right now we got the Monke, do we know anything at all regarding who their Master is? My idea is Caster'll send out Huginn and/or Munnin alongside Jen while in order to hunt down the Master to hostage while Wukong is distracted with a 3v1(somewhat more fair for us) and give him an offer: They relinquish control of Wukong's command seals, tell us everything they know from how they had managed to launch this attack on our base and who they coordinated with to what's the extent to They know shit is wack with this Grail War
Failure to comply will result in having our Pennsylvania Vampire carve a hole into his skull while the lifeforce is DIRECTLY fed upon. A Magus can and WILL kill civilians because "well they're normies my friend"

>>5611151 Earlier Anne reported to you that there were four Servants fighting nearby, so it may not end up being as clear-cut as everyone ganging up on one guy.
It also amuses me that you assumed Jen could move about in the middle of the day, due to the fact that
she actually did come up with countermeasures against sunlight in case of emergency. Anonymous
>>5611484 >Spoiler In all honesty I just assumed that because we're in basically a Reality Marble the Sun isn't THAT much of an issue...until it is anyway.
But you're right. Wukong is trouble enough but with THREE more Servamts being near by we'll have to go about this carefully, are there any identifiers as to who those other Three are?

Currently your most recent information is that two Servants were fighting two others, but Anne will be able to give you updated information when you call her.
I'm also going to put serious thought into giving you enough decision points that you don't feel like you're being railroaded. To some extent circumstances are going to nudge you in a certain direction, but I don't want to write you into a corner. In essence I need to stop myself from writing too many events between player input checks.

>>5611610 Well I appreciate a fighting chance QM. It's something I will have to test myself with my own Fate quest idea since I wanna have it be one that's got some Exceptionally wacky bullshit occuring both among Servants AND the Masters.

“T-try not to panic, Yatsu-kun! We planned for something like this!” Kokutou Mizuri exclaimed as she shook off her backpack and opened it. Hastily retrieving a first-aid kit that they’d picked up the day before, she set it down on the ground while noting the location of Ogawara Yatsuhide’s injury. A good chance his right kidney was pierced, from the looks of it.

>>5611073 Fate has run with the the idea that all extremely prominent lance/spear type weapons are "texture pins" that basically hold down the foundation of their own myth upon Gaia's own reality.
E.g. Gungnir/Rhongobongo/Magna Voluisse Magnum.
Safe to assume Wukong's bonker does similar for the Chinese myth texture

A firm slap hitting her back, Mizuri turned around to spot Kaguya bringing her lips against her ear and coldly whisper, “If you don’t at least make a show of helping him, you’ll regret it.” Hoping to decisively discourage Kuro no Saber from mounting any last-ditch assault, she then delicately patted the other girl’s shoulder as she cheerfully said aloud, “It looks like Yatsu-kun’s self-pity was just a little contagious! Don’t worry, we believe in you Mizuri-chan! Do your best!”

“Mizuri…” Kaguya whispered, realizing that she pushed the girl past her emotional limits and was unsure of how to rein things in. Threats wouldn’t work at this point, and positive reinforcement would probably come across as insincere given the circumstances. There must be a way to turn this around….

Low Speed Anti-Divine QM !!A9p5Qjj4pzy ID:2gXV7bdp Sat 25 Mar 2023 02:42:56 No. 5614224 Report “And you shall have it, Master!” He answered eagerly, then addressed his counterpart who’d been silently observing these events as they unfolded, “I look forward to fighting by your side, beautiful warrior.”
“Hmm.” Aka no Saber hummed affirmatively and emotionlessly.
“Guys? I’m kinda dying here…” Ogawara groaned, grabbing everyone’s attention. As they were bandaging his wound after it was sutured, the world itself began to tremble as a massive pillar began to rise into the heavens to the east of their position. His eyes widening, Ogawara’s Command Seals flared as he shouted, “Kiyohime! Get back, quickly!”
Teleporting to his side, the dragon-girl immediately fell onto her back right beside her Master. Rather than an attempt at physical intimacy, her fall was due to the damage she’d sustained after she tried to chase down the Assassin. Scattered cuts covered her body, but her most prominent injury was the profuse bleeding from her ears.
“Master… you should’ve seen… the other guy….” She said weakly before passing out.
“Kiyo…” Ogawara whispered affectionately. Trying to get up and help move her into a more comfortable position, a shooting pain in his side caused him to collapse on top of her instead. His concern for her well-being outweighing any trepidation he may have otherwise experienced, the young man carefully reoriented his body so that his Servant wouldn’t feel any discomfort.
“As much as I hate to interrupt you lovebirds, we can’t lie about in an open street.” Kaguya pointed out.
“She’s right Yatsu-kun. We’ll help you get somewhere you can rest properly.” Mizuri added.
“Alright. Thanks, you guys.” Ogawara assented.
“By the way, would you mind letting us know your Saber’s name, Nijou-san?” Mizuri asked.
After considering it for a moment, the heiress responded, “Sure, it’s not like you’ll recognize the name anyway. She goes by ‘Altera’.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjc1fdO7ilI “Yep, I’ve got no idea who that is!” Mizuri laughed.

>>5614323 Wukong is likely very hard to kill, if he can even be properly put down with his immortality.
Could require Harpe or similar effect to finish him off, or alternatively it could be easy to have a prolonged fight with goal to exhaust and/or kill his Master. Wukong should be a high maintenance Servant.

>>5614395 Thanks for the ecouragement anon.
And yeah Wukong has layers to him that make the bastard about as unkillable as Herakles is. My idea is we go for having him expend energy with Jen being sent to hunt down said Master, we will make the demands simple ones.
The Command Seals and control over Lancer. Or their life and the precious magecraft knowledge inside their brain, should be able to terrorize them. If we manage to pull something like this off we'll have managed to gain an extremely potent Servant, and given our vast reserves and elemental qualities I believe we can utilize both him and Circe at about full strength, it'll be an effective force multiplier against even multiple Master-Servant teams
