Re: Fate/Fallen Order

Berserker shrugged "I can't really tell you that much. It was a broadsword, but beyond that there isn't much I can tell you."

[Flagmauth]

"Yeah, about that." Troy's eyes never stopped moving, never left the horizon, the buildings, anywhere something could pop out. "He-Who-Sits-In-Chair, if you're done exploring all those fancy curse words. I've got a job for you. There's this thing called Google, you see. I want you to get a computer and I sincerely hope I don't have to walk you through every goddamn step so if you don't know what that is tell me now so I can get it out of my system.

[A Blind Guy]

"Well now that we know they aren't here, we should get to higher ground, it will give us a better vantage point for recon. "

[Helsing]

Berserker groans as he gets up "Right on it."

He disappears with his amazing speed and Takeshi could see him sitting atop on of the broken towers.

[A Blind Guy]

<Do you see anything??

[Helsing]

<Unless you want me to describe a few miles of French landscape, no.> Berserker says.

On the other end of the line, Aaron rubs his now throbbing temples <Archer,> he says in calm voice <I personally built half of the FATE system myself. I know what google is.>

[Flagmauth]

"Good, then search for Dolorous Guard and get back to me on what you find." He turned to Takeshi. "You can see our skills, right? Tell me what mine are."

[A Blind Guy]

"Well, you're sporting an A+ rank in projectiles, especially lances, your magic resistance isn't too great with a D in that, you're ability to disengage from a fight is good with a B, you have a B rank in military tactics, and an independent actions ranking of A. And that's about it."

[Helsing]

On the other end of the line, the group could hear the sound of fast paced typing. Then the typing abruptly stopped.

<Dolorous Guard... is the Shield of Sir Lancelot.>

[Flagmauth]

"Lances, so I'd bet quite a lot that I'm fused with Hector of Troy, then." Troy looked at the spear, which now had a gold tinge to it. "Yeah, that seems about right."

[A Blind Guy]

"Lancealot you say, I like the sound of that." Takeshi replies.

[Flagmauth]

"This is good. Now if only the rest of the enemy faction would be so kind and stupid as to reveal their identities..."

[Flagmauth]

Troy was silent for a long moment while Tamamo, of course, failed to react to Lancelot being name-dropped - in retrospect that made a lot of sense, a Japanese goddess would hardly know the name of an Arthurian Knight. Or if she should, Tamamo didn't seem the sort to care.

Dispelling his spear, Durindana, Troy spoke up. "We need to take out Archer. He's probably already working out strategies for the rest of his Faction to use against us - removing him removes what's probably one of their largest force multipliers and makes the rest of them easier to deal with. Good news there is he probably doesn't have anything in the way of not being instantly killed by any one of us if we can get past his bodyguards and cannons - my spear, Caster's fire, or either you or Berserker caving his skull in ought to work nicely."

[Helsing]

"Worked for Assassin." Berserker comments.

"When you actually bothered to hit him." Aaron mutters.

Ignoring her superior's orders, Mashu took the mic "According to our machines, the Ash faction is currently held up in a fort twenty miles west of your current position."

"So a quick walk?" Berserker asks.

[A Blind Guy]

"Sounds like it, We'll make our way there, stop short, and have Assassin scout out the fort.

[Flagmauth]

"Master, Assassin isn't here."

[Helsing]

"She could be." Arron comments "All he needs to do is change out one of you three for Assassin and everything should be fine."

"So Archer leaves?" Berserker asks.

[Flagmauth]

Troy gave him a crash course in Basics of Insulting Gestures. "With your super speed plus invincibility you'd make a decent scout. Shoo."

[Helsing]

"I meet the enemy in combat, I don't run straight to them."

Aaron, who was reading Iskandar's copy of the Iliad, resists the urge to laugh and or snark at Berserker's comment.

Mashu, who was reading Mordred's copy of Arthurian legend, took this as an opportunity to look at the computers.

"They're all held up in a castle east of your position." she said.

[Flagmauth]

"Oh. Nice. Good job, Berserker."

"He didn't do anything, though!"

"I know. Anyway, attacking a castle head on when we're outnumbered and have no idea who half the enemy Servants are is just asking for us to get our heads stove in, so we'll have to find some way to lure them out. Preferably in small, easily murdered groups."

[Helsing]

"Throw Berserker at it, seems to work in most cases."

[Flagmauth]

"Sure, until they happen to have someone with any rank in Divinity at all or they figure out who he is and exploit his weakness."

[A Blind Guy]

"Can we blow it up from a distance?" Takeshi asks.

[Flagmauth]

Troy blinked, then turned to Tamamo, who was smiling widely and far too innocently given the subject matter. He looked back at Takeshi wordlessly.

[A Blind Guy]

"we're all capable of it, and the explosion will give us the element of surprise, how would you feel if the building you were taking shelter in just exploded around you?" "And there's the slight chance it may take out one of the enemy servants."
