Visual Calculus (Hard: Success?): In your minds Eye you can see it, the battlefield the enemies and your three Servants, and An idea forms in your head. There's a nearby building that's on it's last legs, and with Charlemagne's swordplay, Scathatch's special spear, and Archers big fuck off gun, the plan to collapse the Building on top of the Skeletons.
Ritsuka: What's the consequence?
Visual Calculus: Noise. A whole lot of noise. Not ideal, but assuming that there are little enemies in the area, we can probably get everyone out of here
Inland Empire: Just remember, despite being earless they still respond to sound. So we'd best hope that whatever group we dispose here doesn't attract anyone with ears.
Vibes: You don't know if anyone with ears is around, to hear it from far away.
Ritsuka: Well the sooner we get to the bottom of this the better right?
With the plan in mind, you coordinate with Ophelia, and the Servants on the field to trap the skeletons into the nearby building and collapsing it with Archer's sheer firepower. The Plan went off...Well enough. at the very least they worked together well enough to trap the skeletons.
Fellowship (medium: Success): It's clear the Charlemagne is the only one here REALLY experienced with teamwork, Scathatch while not bad at it doesn't prioritize it either, while Archer seems more used to work around people than with them.
Ritsuka: What about Mash and Ophelia?
Fellowship: Mash is a greenhorn, too inexperienced to do more than swing her shield around on Instinct. Ophelia is more used to working with other masters. Sure she has some experience with the Shadows she summons, but never with anyone from outside her team.
Ritsuka: So we just need training.
Fellowship: That and time.
Archer: "Alright, Analysis done, check this out Master!"
Archer seems to be in a show off mood as he quickly brings the building down with concentrated bursts of gunfire.
Perception: Noise, some of the loudest you've ever heard starts to sound out as the building crashes down. No doubt alerting other bands of skeleton and attracting them to your location.
Director: "Alright, that was a surprisingly smart move. A shame we can't see if any of their bones are cursed enough to be useful. Regardless, we should probably head out."
Consequence: Ambushed
A little while after quickly leaving the area, Charlemagne would speak up.
Charles: "So, is it just me or is anyone else feeling weaker than they should be."
Archer: "I was wondering that myself, but I had planned to be a bit more...discrete about it."
Scathatch: "I don't mind it. If anything this new perspective could be kind of exciting."
Ophelia: "Oh. That's actually a quirk of Chaldea's summoning system. Theoretically we should be able to make you stronger than ever but in return You'll be..not as strong as normal once summoned."
Ritsuka: "W-Well at least everyone is on-"
Scathatch: "Hold on, someone is on that building."
Interrupting your speech, Scathatch would point to one of the few standing buildings.
Perception (Hard: Success): You see him, it takes a bit of squinting, but you can make out a figure shrouded in purple, his hand seems to be...covered up by his clothing. Also wreathed in purple shadows. So you have no idea what he's holding. or hiding.
Inland Empire (Medium: Success): I get a nasty sense from that. Don't like it at all.
Half Light (Medium: Failure): We can't say if he's friend or foe.
Vibes (medium: Failure): Other than the flames fanning the air, you don't sense a shift in the surroundings.
Ritsuka: "Is...Is he a Phantom Spirit? he's all purple like your knight was."
Ophelia: "Maybe..but there's also a chance he could be a Shadow Servant. Which would be worse for us."
Army of Shadows: We believe this means that Shadow Servants are the in-between version of Phantom and Heroic Spirits too strong to be a mere Phantom of what they could be, but too weak or they don't have enough Mana fueling them to be anything other than a shadow of what they are.
Director: "Well regardless of what it is, we can't just stand here and wait for it to make a move. We need to keep moving."
You are about to agree with Olga when-
Perception (Hard: Success): The sound of chains, clinking in a way that shouldn't be possible by simply hanging off of or falling off of a building.
Inland Empire (Medium: Success): As if they are being wielded by someone.
Half Light (Trivial: Success): Even YOU can recognize the danger you're in.
Your eyes widen in realization as you look around for a way out. The area the chains come from are out and-
Perception (Hard: Success): A hint of purple to the side. Say something!
Reaction Speed (Challenging: Failure): Uh Oh.
Ritsuka: "We've been-"
Reaction Speed: You can barely make out what happens as You see Archer throw himself at you while you spot Charlemagne fighting the guy in the alley next to you, Leaving mash protecting Ophelia and Marie Olga as Scathatch throws her spears at the rapidly approaching Shadow Servants.
Inland Empire: They must've heard the sound of the building collapse
Next thing you know, you've been placed with Mash as Archer arms himself to take care of the Shadow Servant with the chain, some feminine looking figure.
Director: "It's a Trap!?"
Ritsuka: "Apparently!"
Ophelia: "What do we do?!"
Empathy (Medium: Success): You can FEEL the determination, bloodlust, and insanity emanating off of these shadow Servants. If you fail to defend yourselves here, it won't be pretty.
Vibes (Medium: Success): Don't worry, not all Servants here are against you, and despite the Shadows ganging up on you, Mere Shadows can't be ALL that remains here.
Encyclopedia (medium: Success) the pamphlet did say that Summoning was only one way to come into contact with Servants.
Mash: "We may need to battle our way through here."
Ritsuka: "Or we can try Holding on for an assist, there should be at least one Servant called here to help right?"
Director: "Are you kidding? We can't hold out against Three shadow Servants the way we are now! We have to break Through!"
Ophelia: "I'll just go along with whatever You all decide on..."
In the end, You've got two options here. Which one will you pick.
Choose one:
[] Break Through (Begins a battle section, gives you the goal of overwhelming one or two Shadow Servants enough to escape.)
[] Hold the Line (Begins a battle section with the goal of holding out for a Heroic Spirit of stronger quality to come and help.)
