"Ilya." I turn to her. "Could you do something to try and scry her location? Or hide Rider so she can use her mount?"

"Scrying requires something to look through." She responds, shaking her head. "At least for me. Since I don't have any familiars prepared and we aren't in the forest...."

"What about Rider?"

"She's already invisible. Anything that would require her to materialize is beyond me."

".... Neesan said something about perception filters...." Sakura comments uncertainly.

"That only works on something discreet. An attractive scantily clad blindfolded woman riding a Pegasus is hardly something people would gloss over."

I close my eyes and sigh, seeing Rin in my mind. I can almost feel her concern just thinking about her.

I can almost.....

I can feel a strong sense of concern, and.... just a little fear. "..... That can't mean anything good...." I open my eyes and see the others staring at me concerned.

"Sempai?"

"It doesn't matter." I respond, thinking. "We have to split up, Sakura and I both have phones."

"As soon as one of us finds them then." She nods, suddenly determined. As she turns and starts to run off, I can feel Rider departing as well. Ilya stares up at me.

"Do you have any ideas on where to find her?" She asks, looking at me.

I mean, if he asked nicely, we'd probably sit down for tea at his house.

".... Somewhere important." I respond, looking around. "Those runes, what's the closest one to here?"

"The park, I think." Ilya answers, looking around. "Isn't it just on the other side of those buildings?"

"... Yeah, it is."

We rush to the park, and find the sigil is completely unchanged. "Wait, Onii-chan. Over here." Ilya points to a nearby bush.... with a small blue ribbon. "Isn't that-"

"The Ribbon Saber ties her hair up with?" I reach and pick it up. "I think it is."

So AC-Guy, be honest...
This is your truck, isn't it?

I open my senses to try and find Saber and, hopefully, Rin.

I reach out and touch the core of the area we're standing in.

The Park.

The Park where it all began.

The sensations pour in, years of despair and neglect, fear and superstition poured over the deep stains of the tragedy that stains this place to the core.

I lose my sense of self for a moment, and when I come to a few moments later, I find myself hunched over a bush vomiting while a concerned Ilya rubs my back. "... Onii-chan?"

"That.... that was not a smart thing for me to do." I say slowly, wiping my mouth."

".... What happened?"

"I tried reaching out to try and pick up Saber's.... 'scent', magically speaking. Since she's a Servant she would feel different than a normal person and not many people come here."

"I see." She nods, confused. "Then why....?"

"I basically plugged myself into the soul of the area." I hesitate as she stares at me uncomprehending. "This.... this is where the fire started."

Her eyes widen with sudden understanding. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. For a minute there though, it was kinda.... intense."

"..... Wow, even when we're trying get you to relax these things happen...." She mumbles.

"Pardon?"

"N-nothing." She answers, jumping slightly. "Hey, would that trick maybe work better outside the Park?"

"Maybe." I respond, and we start walking towards the river, out of the park. I pull out my cell phone as we walk and make a call.

After a few rings, Sakura answers. "Sempai?"

"We found Saber's ribbon at the Park. They might be nearby, or at the very least it'll be a good starting point."

".... In the opposite direction we-" I hear her say something to Rider, somewhere between orders and information. "We're on our way, Sempai."

I hang up the phone, and wonder if we've gone far enough out of the park yet.

"We should be far enough to try scrying now." I get this feeling of unease as I think about how long Rin's been gone.

Ilya takes the ribbon for a few moments and shakes her head, handing it back. "Either it doesn't have a strong enough connection or-" I feel my stomach drop. ".... Anyway, you try it. Maybe you'll have better luck?" Her hope seems forced.

It wasn't about the ending, it was more about the dickworms. And Sakura being endless violated by dickworms. And the old man whose body is made of dickworms.
Prior to that, the closest to "weird" that the game got was the kind-of-rapey desperation sex with Saber that Rin facilitated.
Other than dickworms, my only complaint with the game is how tired I am of the phrase "It's only natural."

It occurs that the last roll was a perception check, not a magic one.

Saber's ribbon was found in the Park, which is next to the River we were kinda walking towards.

Go to nearby secluded spot on the River. Best odds of finding them.

Ah, right. *He* doesn't have a phone, we communicate through Issei.

>>28262198
But he sucks.

>>28262198
No, we've always bounced our communications through Issei when we've tried to contact him, because Archer cannot into cellphone.

>>28262221
I think it's more that Archer chooses not to into cellphone, seeing as they can be traced.

>>28262221
>Archer cannot into cellphone
Is it because he's a dick? Because, you know, he's Shirou from the future, and Shirou can into phone.

>>28262252
I think its because he has no phone.

>>28262252
Speaking of, it's been 3 months and I don't remember. Have we learned that he's us yet?

>>28262278

>>28262475
Neither can a phone, if you leave it turned off except for the minute or two needed to make a call.

>>28262488
In general terms.

I start moving towards the River, and as I do so something.... clicks. If they were in a public place, making or answering a call wouldn't be difficult. So they have to be somewhere private.

If Saber's ribbon was any indication, then they should be close.

I start running. The most obvious place they could be is-

I reach the buildings, and hear noises off to my left. Sharp clangs down by the water. I hesitate long enough to pick up Ilya before sprinting down there myself.

I see Saber, her hair down and armored, standing defensively between Rin and Assassin. Assassin himself is standing between Saber and Gilgamesh, keeping them separated by almost forty feet with a constant series of daggers.

In a moment, I realize how Dangerous Assassin is. Gilgamesh can't open the gate and bombard him without harming Saber, Saber can't approach him without endangering Rin, and Gilgamesh can't get closer and still deflect the weapons Assassin is launching. It's a delaying tactic, but it's working well enough.

And when I look at Rin, I understand. She's standing several feet behind Saber, more than far enough to give her maneuvering room but close enough to remain sheltered. But more important is her arm. She's clutching her left arm just below the shoulder, and I can see a small measure of blood trickling down between her fingers.

Blood, and something black.....

>>28262716

Rin should use the seal, Saber should use Invisible Air in Hammer style and Gil should use a shield, pull out a non lethal noble phantasm, go for CQC or something!

>Looks like shooting him with a Rule Breaker wins?

>Mostly he looks like TA from the VN, other than his skin being a slightly lighter tone and not having one arm all bandaged up.

It's unlikely that this Gil will be trying to construct his own Grail.

>>28262829
Apparently he isn't anymore. Even Saber and Lancer was scared shitless.

>>28262829
The usul one, yes.
This one seems to be obscenely powerful. Or at least we got that impression at the church when Kirei got offed.

>>28262781
Not necessarily. Assassin is preventing a fight from breaking out and stalling. Chances are Zouken and/or Assassin doesn't want any Servants to die yet. Zouken's might want to keep them alive on the chance that he could activate the black grail and start noming Servants.

I wouldn't call assassin an ally or trust him with our life, but I think Gilgamesh is our biggest concern here, not Assassin. Assassin is stopping this from going to hell.

>>28262799

Assassin's stalling because he poisoned Rin with Grail-Mud and he's waiting for the situation to implode. If he keeps attacking Saber at range, she can't grab her and flee.

>>28262837
>a Rule Breaker
>a
Sure, then several more in rapid succession.

I'd rather we just go full Descartes and let him taste our exploding Bulge.

>>28262837
So, in meta-talk because we obviously don't know this in-character, he's one of the many skull-faced assassins.
Many, fuck those guys.

>>28262755
As far as Gil is concerned, >>28262701 might actually be an interesting way of handling things.

He's immediately going to assume that it's going to be another flashbang (since the two look almost identical, and we have already used one on him before), and will react accordingly, likely attempting to turn away or cover his eyes to avoid being blinded again.

Which will make the ensuing smoke cloud more effective in helping to conceal a retreat.

>>28262878
We don't know that at all. There's, like, ten other Hassan it could be, and only one of them has been touched upon in canon.

>>28262878
Could he be the first of the... what, 19 old men of the mountain?

F/Z was the last one in the line IIRC.

I drop Ilya, giving her my phone. She heads for cover while dialing Sakura, and I call the bow and Caster's knife to my hands.

I aim and fire it directly at Assassin, and watch as it slices into his robe. He spins, looking like he's going to fall...... and then suddenly my 'arrow' reemerges from his cloak, coming right for me.

I manage to dodge the knife, feeling the wind as it passes my face.

The others below seem to notice my approach with the blast though. Gilgamesh sparing me a glance. "Are you really going to just stand there while your women are in danger? Cowardly Mongrel."

"He's not- We're-" Saber begins before letting out an irritated huff. "Rin, can you run? If Shirou is here, we might be able to escape."

Rin looks around, legs wobbly. ".... Maybe. I-I'm not sure."

Saber growls at Assassin as he begins to laugh, a slow hollow thing, as the rate of daggers seems to increase.

We need to head over there and get her. Then have Saber cover us on the retreat to Ilya, who can hopefully do something about the what I assume is poison.

>>28263112
"HEY GILGAMESH! ITS FREE SAMPLE DAY!"

>>28263089

>>28263089

Rho aias.

Lets get out of here, the shield should hold while we beat it.

>>28263089
Alright, pull Nothung this time, chuck that to cover a charge, maybe drawing Gram again.

>>28263089
We need to interrupt or intercept Assassin's incoming dagger barrage.
Then, secure Rin and ask for the extent of her injuries, before we take her and Ilya to safety.

>>28263021
No, that one hit Saber.
I don't recall Shirou being hit by one. Besides, he doesn't have a bond with anyone at the moment.
>>28263089
[x] Do we have Rho Aias? Jump in front of Seibah, let them retreat.
>>28263112
Why do people want to attack Gil? Even he will admit that Zouken and Assassin are too much of a threat to forgo a teamup.

>>28263164
And, you know, Gil wants Saber.
He's not going to kill Rin, because Saber would disappear. Gil isn't an immediate concern.

>>28263089
Broken Phantasms in Assassins face? Broken Phantasms.

>>28263188
I think it's semi-safe assumption he won't kill anyone that's close to Saber

>>28263259
He does SEEM smart enough to know that killing someone she's placed under her protection will just turn her even more against him than she already is.

>>28263259
We did kind of set off a flash bang in his face. Arc said that he was muttering some very cruel things in babylonian about us.

I start to run in a wide circle to behind where Rin is to grab her, but Assassin seems wise to my plan as I move.

That is literally his waifu, and she's his powerup because the chick who built the suits is...either the creator of that series or the waifu's voice actor, I can't remember which.

I call a sword to hand, and start deflecting the daggers he throws my way. Soon I'm inside the area protected by Saber and I slowly pic up Rin.

"Your arm-"

"It's fine." She responds with a forced smile. "It hurts, but it's just a scratch."

I can just tell she's lying as she says it, but I'm not sure I should call her out on it. I look at Saber, and she nods, advancing. Assassin stops laughing and stops throwing Daggers, making to break up the hill.

Towards where Ilya was hiding.

Rider please get here and save us from our failure.

I swear, if Rider ends up like Broserker after this, Ilya is offically DoomLoli from now on.

I start to race up the hill, trailing only slightly behind Saber as I do so. I suddenly hear noise, gunshots. Several in rapid succession as all four of us do something of a double-take rushing ahead.

I see Assassin making a grab for Ilya, who appears to be holding an empty pistol with the slide jammed open as she furiously backpedals hands searching for something on the gun.

She hits the wall and lets out a frightened squeak as Assassin grabs her and Rider comes through the window in a shower of broken Glass.

I try to form the bow, realizing the pistol would be better for this, I try to shift Rin's weight more to my other arm as I straighten my right arm for firing. It's not enough, the shots go wide of the target even as Rin tries to pull herself to help me.

Rider lands, throwing her chain out, and Assassin throws himself backwards dragging Ilya along. Rider curses, pulling the chain back to avoid hurting her, managing to barely rip some of their clothing.

I drop Rin gently, realizing I only have one more shot at this-

-I can't fail, not now.

I also wouldn't be following this quest any longer.

>>28263944
I was mildly upset about the guard crit. Maybe it did something amazing, but it didn't show up in the write-up.

AC, would you mind if I ask what the effect of that aforementioned crit was, with regards to the difference between normal success and a critical success?

>>28263944
I'm not sure what you're on about.

That roll was to acquire Rin while not getting stabbed to death by flying murder daggers, which we did quite flawlessly.

Rin lands on her feet, but even as she does I'm already moving. I pump so much mana into my legs it burns, and I throw myself into the air after him.

Assassin chuckles, throwing daggers at me. I barely see them past my rage. He seems to realize something as I just just let them sink home into my arm, never breaking eye contact with him.

He tries to put Ilya between us to shield himself, but in holding his arms out like that, he leave them exposed. I break both of them with a pair of kicks. He screams, as much in anger and denial as pain as Ilya slips from his grasp. I land between him and her, and he smashes out the far door as Ilya stands up from where she fell.

Because merely succeeding isn't what you'd expect from a crit. Especially not when our crit failures lead to us causing fatal fire damage while examining a bike.
