You don't know any Shinji Matou, but something about that name fills you with an indescribable urge to punch somebody in the face. Sounds like something you should be putting on your to-do list anyway, since he is apparently the mayor here, and trying to wipe out anybody involved with this Grail War. Would explain some of the reactions you've noticed from the townspeople. Anyway, this girl seems to be earnest, and maybe you should trust her. Her name is Marya, and she does appear to be a fellow Quo Vadis experiment. You still don't really remember seeing her around, but hey, the enemy of my enemy. You introduce her to Agatha, and she formally introduces you to Assassin Darth Maul. She's impressed that Agatha has managed to work with the thermal detonator they left behind, but wonders if the foreign device is why her gadgetry has failed to produce any results. At any rate, you're apparently besties now, so it's time to figure out your next move.

1) Let's take down Mayor Shinji!
2) Let's try to find and eliminate some opponents!
3) Let's fortify our position and support Agatha!
4) Let's try to find and befriend some opponents!

No need to be hasty, let's prepare before taking action.

I try not to let a day go by without at least one update but that's likely to happen today

Master of Caster, Ritsuka "Gudako" Fujimaru (Fate), has died.
Servant Caster, Mallow (SMRPG), has dissipated. (He was "Squishy")
Servant Lancer, Ruby Rose (RWBY), has dissipated. (She was "Newcomer")

You spend the rest of the evening continuing to exchange information and plot strategy. Maul is not as technically minded as Agatha, but will perhaps be some help as she tinkers through the night. Marya insists on sleeping near you. Seems clingy, that one.

Agatha wakes you up in the morning excitedly. Seems like her device works! It SHOULD let you summon a whole other Servant! But, uh, who do we want them to be contracted to?

1) Me, of course! It'll be a bit more strain on your Mana though.
2) Agatha, as a kinda chain.
3) Our new buddy Marya
4) Darth Maul, for reasons

---

We really are going to win with the Luigi strategy!

A Berserker as a Master? think of the hijinks!

2 sounds good to me

Though I am slightly concerned about whether it will negatively impact her ability to berserker smash when the situation calls for it

Well with 4 servants already dead I'm not sure how much it will matter! But it'll certainly be fun!

Wasnt Ruby in the last one? Or am I misremembering something.

---

she won the last one!

---

Marya looks like she wants to say something, but keeps quiet, and rubs her head. She took a bump from Lancer's Master, and perhaps it's still bothering her. Agatha backs up a bit as she turns the device on (the rest of you back up rather more than a bit) and it whirs to life. She explains happily that the thermal detonator was actually great as an auxiliary power supply, and a bunch of other technical details that go over your head. Shimmering lights appear....and coalesce.....into the form of a human.

"Greetings. I am Servant Voyager, Jean-Luc Picard. I presume one of you is my Master?"

(not currently able to brain moving forward from that point or giving you a decision but I wanted to get that out there at least)

---

That's what I thought. For a moment I thought I mixed it up somehow.

Oh man, we just put Picard under a Berserkers control.

---

(NPCs are doing their best and preparing; please wait warmly until it is ready)

What's the strategy now?
1) Go out information gathering
2) Attack Shinji
3) Pick a fight with other Grail Warriors
4) Continue fortifying

---

Marvelous

1, with 2 if an easy opportunity appears while info gathering

Normally I'd be more cautious but tbh I'm itching for a fight

...A Voyager under a EX Berserker's employ. ...Hmmm.

I get like two spoons a day and this is priority #3 ~_~

it's cool, take care of yourself

thanks! getting back to where I was I think

(oh hey I'm back!)

Talking to the populace, it sounds like they're pretty vehemently opposed to the entire Grail War. Makes sense, you suppose. It sounds like Shinji is trying to stop the whole thing somehow, and has announced that he is interested in teaming up with Assassin to make that happen. Seems a bit odd, given that they've clashed a few times previously. What to do with this information?

1) Send Marya+Assassin in alone to talk
2) Go together to "talk"
3) Go together to talk
4) Keep looking for info

---

3, but also kinda 2?

I want to play along until we can tell what his game is, so I want to actually talk, but not have any intention of actually siding with him

---

Yeah 3 ready to make it 2

---

2 but I don't mind if we have a conversation first

3 but kinda 2 sounds good.

Shinji's mansion is not hard to find. This is a pretty busy place, but his mansion (more like a palace really) is centrally located and the tallest and most garish building of them all. Outside there's a lady talking to what look like some robotic guards. The lady glances up, and surprise and recognition flicker across her face. "You weren't supposed to have backup. We can't let you through." The guards take up a combat stance, and a small creature with a sword materializes next to the lady. Servant, probably. Well, they have numbers on you technically and this is their home turf, but on the other hand, as far as you can tell you have three Servants (Berserker, Assassin, and Voyager) to their one. On the other other hand, you've never actually seen any of these people in a fight.

1) Fight
a- You take the Servant, Marya takes the mooks
b- You take the mooks, Marya takes the Servant
c- You take everybody, Marya goes on alone
d- You go on alone, Marya takes everybody
2) Talk
3) Run

Might as well see what we can get out of them

---

2 and can we let Voyager do the talking?

But 1B when they continue to be aggressive.

You and Voyager try to talk her out of a fight, but she's not buying it, repeating that she's only willing to let Team Assassin through. That's extremely likely to be a trap, and you don't feel like leaving empty handed, so you'll just do this the hard way, you suppose. She introduces herself as Julianna, and waves the guards and her Servant into battle. Your plan is to fight numbers with numbers while Marya handles Julianna and the weird guy.

Agatha pulls out an almost comedic large wrench, and brains one of the approaching guards, then gets a glancing blow on another. Picard trips, but that's just as well as he would've otherwise gotten shot. He fires what appears to be a laser as he scrambles to his feet. Maul and the mystery Servant appear to be swordfighting with no clear advantage. As you continue to scan, a young man with green hair and a bow appears. Looks like he's got Marya in his sights!

1) Warn her
2) Have Picard intercept him
3) Have Agatha intercept him
4) Go for the jumping in front of the attack trope
5) Let it happen
6) Talk
7) Run

Maul v. Meta
-Maul misses
-Meta is no-sold

Agatha v. 3 (-1/0/0)
-Agatha smacks #1
-Agatha no-sold

Kirk v. 2
-Fails initiative, almost gets shot
-Miss

Kirk isn't really contributing much here so
