Scars of Camelot (Fate/Magic the Gathering)

Reader mode
[X] I rode with Gareth. "Is there a problem?"

well if Morderd is Arturia's child she may be part dragon so Nasu dragon's may be able to out bullshit the corruption.
 
[X] I rode with Gareth. "Is there a problem?"

Ah fuuuuuuck. I don't know a whole lot about MtG, but one thing I do know is that Phyrexian Oil is BAD NEWS. Is there any know way to get rid of that shit ? Can we beg daddy dearest to lend us Avalon for a second ?
 
[X] I rode with Gareth. "Is there a problem?"

Well then. Camelot's probably doomed. One drop of Phyrexian Oil can convert an entire Plane if not handled quickly.

Avalon only prevents death, but see, Phyrexian oil doesn't kill you at all...

At least that's why I would say Avalon wouldn't work... Hadou might have a different reasoning.

"More then I suspect you do." Merlin retorted. "But there's precious little time and too many cauldrons waiting to explode." He paused. "Perhaps that would be a good one to get out of the way. Who exactly do you think your father is?"

"King Lot. Are you mad?"

"If you were the daughter of King Lot, then there would be little hope of your survival even this long." Merlin seemed to chuckle at that.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh come off it Mordred and take off the helmet. I saw your face plenty of times when I was instructing Arthur in the way of the sword." Merlin retorted drily. "You and your father are spitting images of each other; I'm surprised you haven't noticed yet."

"Bullshit."

"Believe what you wish. I tell the truth only because it is necessary." Merlin answered. He took a seat at the table almost absently, sipping from some tea. "It is good, you know."

Well, that cat's out of the bag. Or maybe Cath Palug, since this is Merlin.

BlackHadou said:
"What is so damn im-" The words died in my throat. "What the hell is that?" It was long, like a thin, grey, knotted scar that ran from the middle of my bicep to the middle of my forearm. Merlin did not look. He did not speak. "Merlin, explain."

That's not good.

BlackHadou said:
"I can only see what belongs of this world. It was the first hint something was wrong. I thought you dead until Lamorak and Gawain sent word." Merlin answered. "Take off the armour and sit. I'll seal the arm for now, but it will not last."

Nope really not good.

BlackHadou said:
"He means that Secace is enchanted to only draw blood in mortal combat." The king rolled his eyes at Merlin's antics. "It was the sword I trained with back in the day."

That explained the kings nostalgia, for sure.

Oooohhh that's going to come up at an inconvenient time.

FAMILY BONDING TIME (with someone who isn't our bitch of a mom)


I think it's worth noting that for how horrifying and deadly Phyrexia and their oil is, the Nasuverse at least has fate on their side. We know of two prior invasions from beyond the World that have happened - the first in 12000 BC with Velber and the second one in the Salem Singularity in Grand Order. In the second of those, it's specifically noted in a flashback that it can't possibly work because Velber tried it before and was repelled. Given how....virulent Phyrexia is that's definitely not going to be enough, but that we have setting mechanics on our side is definitely good news.
 
[X] I rode with Tristain. "Why do you and the king disagree so?"

I was right? Somehow this does not please me.

Glistening oil, the main vehicle for Phyrexian corruption in other words. On Mirrodin at least (Most planes in Magic really) you're pretty much guaranteed to be 'compleated' (read: transformed into a phyrexian abomination) from as much as a single drop entering you, or possibly even touching bare skin. The only exception is some elf on Mirrodin and her followers, though I forget how they pull it off, and depending on where this is in the timeline, she might be dead.

That said, this is fate-verse we're crossed with. Merlin may not be able to do more than slow the corruption, but even slowing it is a lot more than most native denizens of M:tG can do. It won't be easy, and we'll probably have to be very careful around phyrexian opponents lest we hasten the corruption or get other parts of our body infected. But if we search hard enough, we *might* be able to find a cure before it's too late.

You're thinking of Melira, and the reason she's immune is...uh, reasons? She, and everyone else, legitimately have no idea as to why she's immune save for the fact that she's the only native of Mirrodin who was born without any metal on or in her body. Even then, she has limits as she couldn't cure Karn fully, hence why Venser has to rip out his own heart so they could transplant it into the golem to finish the purification process.

Also, the fact that Phyrexians are being treated as Velber-tier threat means that most, if not all, methods pertaining to the world will have little to no effect. RIP Mo-tan; at least compleation will lead to a resolution to her daddy issues. :V
 
[X] I rode with the King. "Highness, is there a reason Merlin calls you Arturia?"

That's hardly the only thing it does, otherwise Shirou wouldn't have come out of mud pit Kirei threw him into during the Fate Route in as good a shape as he did. Avalon definitely destroy corruption and impurities with its merciless light.

Ehh... Seems a little premature to be assuming all is lost right at the start of the quest. I'm not sure how much I can say, but I have been discussing fate lore, and I think there are at least two or three present -if not immediately available ways to combat this. Without loss of limbs I mean.

And besides, Merlin is freezing the infection, so for the moment at least, as long as we don't stray too far, he should be able to keep the spell up and keep the corruption from progressing any further than it already has.

Shirou kinda just got through that via willpower and Avalon bounded field blocking out the rest. Avalon doesn't destroy shit; it just shields, heals, and protects.

Things from beyond like Velber and TYPES are generally outside context problems because they run on a completely different paradigm; if our world is a PC then they're a Linux, so things that operate for our world and its rules don't do so well on the outsider the same way you can't get your PC-only programs to work on a Linux.
 
[X] I rode with the King. "Highness, is there a reason Merlin calls you Arturia?"

We should find some way into sweet talking Arturia into giving us Rhongomyniad somehow.

I am sure Mordred will find the larger...mana tanks useful.

We'll be delighted to "armchair General" or something.

We can survive without a CURSED ARM THAT WILL KILL US OR DO EVEN WORSE THINGS TO OUR BODY AND OUR MIND AS IT SPREADS TO WHATEVER IT TOUCHES!!

Well, we don't know that'll happen, and no Mordred wouldn't be.

Also you're being a bit over the top here - if Mordred was right fucked I doubt Bui would have her be the main character of the quest. Hell, even if she is right fucked being the main character implies a lot of things about what she might be able to accomplish, if the correct choices are chosen.

Which I don't trust SV to make, but that's neither here nor there.
