Oh, is it the guy with the shield?

No, it's this guy with a white stag. A Rider.

Haven't met a guy with a shield, though.

...Shit, really? That is, ah... Disquieting, to say the least. I will certainly be on my guard, then.

(Günther, in his usual attire, not the toga, staring blankly down at a prone form in his lap.)

(The form appears to be some sort of garish harlequin, writhing weakly and swiftly dissolving into gold light. He appears to have been stabbed through the throat and looks equal parts terrified and pissed.)

You really should, were it not for getting a contract with a Master, the Assassin would've killed me.

-Leo looks closely and walks over-

Hey- you two okay there?

...Yes, would you happen to know what this Assassin looks like?


Blrrrrghhhk—...!

(Finally dissolves, his physical form ebbing away.)

(Is silent a moment. Sighs quietly.)

...Heh... One of us is...

What happened?

I don't recognize his fashion but- it had this big white collar. Like a plate.

He wore a mustache and he had a beard on his chin, but not on his cheeks.

Brown hair- his skin made me think he was from somewhere in the North, or Iberia.

Apparently he was stabbed through the throat. I heard him cry out, but I never saw the assailant.

(Still knelt like that, even though Caster is long gone.)


...Hm. That's rather distinctive, certainly hard to miss. What kind of weapon did he wield, if any?

-to Cori- Apparently I was his business.

Not personal.

-to Assassin- He definitely had a sword. Not sure what kind, but he had accomplices too. They had these- things that would make large explosions and fire a bullet. Almost like an- explosive sling, with no rope to see.

Didn't see the assailant...

-sighs-

I'm sorry for your loss.

...In all honesty, it was probably a long time coming. I didn't want it to be like this, though.

Who do you think it was?

-to Cori- I'm not too sure whether you would... No offense.

-to Assassin- Either way, attacking isn't quite what I'd have in mind. At least- not yet. He has a numbers advantage.

Yeah, you're right, I don't think I have it in me to kill a guy. I bet I could rough him up, but I couldn't kill him.

Eheheh, well—... If it helps, directly engaging this fellow is about the furthest thing from my mind right now.

(Gives Cori a perplexed look.) ...Mm, even that wouldn't be advisable. Heroic Spirits are far stronger than humans and, erm... most other sapient races. Assassins also specialize in dispensing with Masters, so he wouldn't be unfamiliar with taking down a lone, mortal assailant.


Heh. If I had any idea, I would probably be hunting them down about now.

Well... if it was someone I knew was targeting servants.

Then I really wouldn't advise it.

I had a Berserker that was killed through a hex.

His ribs turned in on themselves and crushed his heart and lungs.

And that Caster has an Assassin for an accomplice.

-nods- What Assassin said.

The fact I was actually challenged a little is something that unsettles me about his numbers.

Plus the fact that- out there in the forest, he could be watching at any time.

...Mm. It probably isn't worth it, then. If those sorts are out targeting Servants, though, then I am very surprised he wasn't taken out sooner. Caster was... not subtle.

(Hasn't moved an inch.)


We will just have to be wary of him, then. He sounds like an opportunist, a savage fellow who would skulk about in the shadows and take his quarry at their most vulnerable and unsuspecting.

-to Assassin- Basically, an Assassin. As to be expected.

Be careful if he retreats though. The last time he did that- an explosion occurred directly where he was standing. That explosion is what nearly killed me.

-nods to Cori- Just be careful.

Maybe it was just a question of making sure the quieter voices go before the louder ones.

(Looks just an iota offended at Archer's remark. #notallassassins. Nods solemnly at him.)

(Cori.) Prudence and caution are virtues in this tumultuous world. One can never have enough of either.


Perhaps... What would they gain, though, if there is no ongoing Grail War.

Maybe they're looking to exert power.

Stranded here, their leader might believe himself to need to be in power.

-sighs- It's about setting up an order, probably.

Because their leader is someone who brought about a natural disaster, that nearly tore down the existing orders of the time.

In the time where they were weakest- a new order could've risen. That was probably their plan in life.

Now they're probably just trying to do that again. Take down everyone who might be an obstacle, and impose order.

-smirks back at Cori- I'm sure you'll be careful.

-nods back to Assassin- Either way. I'm just hoping they think I'm dead. -keeps his hood up- 'Cause I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to fare if they decide to come at me again.

So warlords, essentially... Troubling that even a place as godforsaken and remote as this would get that.

(Sighs tiredly.)

But such is life. Heh...


Ah, I see. Just keep laying low, I suppose, and they'll likely be none the wiser.
