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 managed to defeat Sun Wukong, but he and Diomedes left you much worse for wear. A thunderstorm covering your retreat from the latecomer Aka no Berserker, you and your allies find Truvietianne Edelfelt alone, with her Servant dead and Sophia, the enigmatic vampire you’d helped to create the night before, having departed with another enemy; her motivations for doing so are not entirely clear to you. Now you and those of your allies who remain are driving in a van back to the area that Caster of Black had set up as his territory to regroup and recover, and Miss Edelfelt took an opportunity to ask you what your priorities were, given all that’s happened.

“I suppose you have a point.” Truvietianne whispered, gently sliding her shoulders your way until she lightly leaned against you. You feel her chest expand and contract in rhythm with her breath as she continues, “Though I’ve been wondering, what do you consider to be your win-condition? Or maybe it’d be clearer to ask what your priorities are? Dying is losing, I’m sure, but where are you going with all this?”

“It does.” She answered, before taking a deep breath. Looks like it’s time for another of her famous lessons. “About a century ago, there was a notorious man who amassed a significant following. He called himself ‘The Great Beast 666’, and claimed to be in contact with a variety of spiritual entities, ranging from gods and angels to devils. At first it was assumed that he was an ordinary man, in the sense of lacking magical aptitude, who simply became a self-styled Satanic-cultist. However, after he ingratiated himself into and eventually caused an actual organization of magi, peripheral though they were, to begin fracturing, the Mage’s Association and the Church began to suspect that reports of him being in contact with sinister, inhuman entities may have been more than hysterical rumors given credence by his taboo-violating public persona. But he was found dead in his home by the time a proper investigation was mobilized, so it was ultimately written off as an anomaly of little consequence. More immediately relevant, ‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law’ was one of the commandments, if you will, in the ‘Book of the Law’ that he penned.”

Time for us to spend this time wisely, I'm leaning towards properly cracking open the Ether can and develop some Interesting stuff. When Avenger recovers, it'll be Warcrimes side by side more evenly!

You consider Caster’s suggestion. There are a lot of options available, but for whatever reason three surface in your mind most vividly. One is to craft an item of some sort, perhaps a ring with magical properties; you could have a latent affinity for craftsmanship, for all you know. Another is to expand on your understanding of the reinforcement spell and to try extending it to items. However, one that’s been at the back of your mind for a while now eventually wins out.

I'll try to finish the update tomorrow.
As a general advisement, I don't plan on dropping the quest until this Akeldama Holy Grail War story arc is completed, at which point I'll take an extended break to plan out the next story arc (it should have a smoother start than this one, since I started writing this with no planning and taking over from a flake who wrote about 17 pages total before quitting). If I don't post anything for a while, it's because I'm too tired from either my day-job or other hobbies to write something at what I consider an acceptable quality.
If something truly unforeseen happens and I have to drop the quest for an extended period of time, I'll say something (as opposed to ghosting).
>>5736096 >>5736130 I'll leave the cryptic hint that there's something... off... about a number of the Servants summoned in this Holy Grail War (it's not just Avenger).
Example: Sun Wukong normally would wear the headband that Sanzang used to control him and be in a mindset where he keeps the wisdom he gained from his journey (or gets a headache if he starts acting up as a running gag). But here, he had the mindset of when he rebelled against the heavenly realm (up until he was about to die).
In-story there's not really much opportunity for this to be spelled out, so I may as well disclose it now.

“Are you sure?” You ask, realizing that she probably wasn’t aware of your presence when she invited Koko to join her, “We can wait for you to dry off and get dressed if we have to.” Something gives you the impression that talking with her while she’s naked with only a shower-curtain separating the two of you could make her uncomfortable.

Shifting the subject a little, you say, “I was also thinking you may have some ideas on how the Grail might work on a mechanical level, here and now. If we can understand and utilize it in the overseer’s place, we could bump him off while allowing the ritual to still reach its natural conclusion without too much interruption, which could win over those with a vested interest in victory and using the Grail.”

As their Masters are likely accompanying them, you decide it’s as good a time as any to leave the hotel room with Anne and Koko to greet them and find out what happened regarding the intruder. When you find them in the hotel lobby, there’s only the four of them; no prisoner.> Try to convince them to rebel against Triscus Adajio, appealing to (pick one): >> Justice, as the overseer must pay for bringing about the atrocities that have taken place >> Strategy, as assembling a large coalition of other Masters would, among other things, reduce the number of immediate threats >> Camaraderie, as you trust each other to hold the keys to the Holy Grail more than you trust Adajio >> Pride, as whoever defeats the overseer and his bodyguard would stand head and shoulders above the other Masters and Servants > Ask for more details about their encounter with the intruder first

and Koko's plan of making the overseer the priority target. If you try to win over other parties you'd get a separate prompt for that at the time; though it doesn't hurt to plan something in advance.

Alright, the first update of thread 10 will resolve this. I'll also do some bookkeeping and planning so that hopefully by the time I hit the board again we can move the story along at a quicker pace than this thread did.
