Alas, Foreigner-Class beatdowns are not in the cards. I am somewhat leery of putting in the nonstandard Class Containers aside from Rulers and Avengers and maybe Alter-Egos.

Also also, I need to consult Roman maps again- Who knew that putting seven Grails to the Roman Empire could be a dangerous thing to balance? ;v

I wasn't exactly being subtle about some of the axes I am swinging Chaldea's way and of all the Singularities, none are receiving so heavy a rework than Septem — and Jerusalem is not a rework more so than a redo — and as such-

-Alexander/Iskandar will not suffice, is what I will say to the ground level happenstance in Rome.
 
Have to wait for the Interlude to be posted for that. And seeing that it is now 6 AM on my end, that will have to wait~

Ok, fair point. I guess it didn't click the first time you meant "Seven teams of Seven Servants".

Interlude IV
  • Sidestory
    • The Empire burns.

    Well, that is a catchy way of putting it. The whole span of the Roman Empire, from the farthest reach of Britannia to Bithynia, are embroiled in conflicts of your making. Well, you and yours. Surprisingly easy it is to goad the sons and daughters of Mars to wage war with one another.

    Humans. So revolting.

    To the East, two Riders are locked in a hateful struggle to decide the religious soul of the Empire. One in Thrace and the other in Pannonia. One who ushered sanction for a new God and the other whose name is killed for the old Gods. It is a conflict most base and yet, most invasive. The soul of the Empire is a dangerous thing that none of the Servants on the field could abide.

    And so they will fight and burn and rape and pillage- as humans wont to do.

    To the West, a Caster in Hispania contended with the knowledge of what will happen in the future and so plans accordingly. He is left half-mad in machinations yours and for that, he is kept in check by another Rider- one who does not seem to do much but to stay in a palace with an Assassin in tow.

    Well, you expected that. Doesn't make it less annoying.

    And in the center, in Italia proper, the rumblings of war to subjugate the Pretender Emperors echoes. For that, the Empress will a very very busy ruler indeed. But she is, for a wonder, in a good hand. Seneca is but one of her advisors and the chance of her interfering with your plans is a dangerous one indeed.

    Good thing then, there's Berserker. He will keep her busy for the while. Might even kill her.

    As for you and yours... there's things to be done. If the Empire is to fall, then it requires nudges aplenty. The very factors that are splintering it, these summoned Heroic Spirits, are also the main thing that will defend it. Not only that, of course, the World will not stay idle as things are threatening it. Not when there's Seven Grails pooled here.

    Good thing then, that you will let the World do its work.

    Good then, that you, Lev Lainur Flauros, have a plan.

    Meta-wise, I always planned Rome to be a challenge of... well, everything to be honest. A sort of exam to see how well you Questers would do once I take off the training wheels because while some of the exact details are going to need pining down- roughly speaking, these are the main things that needs sorting out. No pressure~

    At least we will have the summoning system up by then, plus whatever aid we get in the actual singularity.

    ...Any chance we can summon
    Romulus-Quirinus to make it simpler?

    Because a lazing roman servant with an assassin is a very strong match and because I know you want to write cleo content :V
    In much the same way I have been attacked for kiara content
     
    First of all @Shade31415, and indeed, to everyone else, I will appreciate it if we keep Lostbelt spoilers under well- spoilers.

    Second of all:

    It could be Brutus. Have you considered a repentant Brutus who would willingly follow Caesar to hell and back?
     
    Spoiler-kun there falls into 'Can only be summoned thanks to Chaldea Shenanigans™ after they've been observed', especially given their status.

    Constantine is the Christian Rider, obviously. And the other Rider is... Hm. Someone who "sacrificed their name" for the Greco-Roman gods. Makes me think it's Remus, unless it's somehow Rider!Romulus. A base in Pannonia makes me think Trajan or Diocletian, one of the pre-Constantine Emperors to have business in the east.

    An Emperor with postcognition vs. Julius and Jolyne Joestar. Hm. Claudius, the man crowned by the Praetorians, was known for religious reforms. He promoted Etruscan language and mysteries, while founding a college for the Roman divination practice called Haruspex. I'm confident that's who Julious is facing.

    Nero is there with a full compliment of Servants, and while fighting Spartacus she's also dealing with the Crisis Of The Third Century lineup. As that list contains over twenty people, I think the realistic threat is the Year Of Six Emperors. Maximinus Thrax, the tyrant butcher and thief. Gordian I and II, a father-son duo who took up power reluctantly by popular from being the regional governor of Africa, only to die twenty days later when their neighbor killed the son on the battlefield and the uncle committed suicide. Pupienus and Balbinus, the Sentate-appointed members of the committee meant to wage war on Maximinius who only avoided an initial riot by appointing a thirteen year old grandson of Gordian as a third emperor. They won no glories, Maximinus got killed by his own men, and riots got so bad the Praetorians stripped the two of their clothing, dragged them publicly through the street, then tortured them to death after only 99 days in office.

    Honestly, Nero has more to worry about from Spartacus.

    ... of course the compromised Demon God is behind this absurdity. And we're going to be seeing Counter Guardian Dakka Emiya. Among others. Which Flauros is counting on.

    Now I will stop being coy for a second and say firmly that only the matter of Hinako is the main spoiled bit of LB III and none else. JP Spoilers will remain so- I'll make exceptions to Event Servants on JP though, mostly because their summoning might would be unlikely at best.

    's good. And the answer is as @Grue says. The benchmark for Lostbelt Servants is simple, "Would the Servant exist under Pan-Human history conditions?"

    No no no, the Pretender Emperors is me giving a catchy name for all the summoned Servants with their personal Grails.

    As for the rest of your brainstorming, I'll not confirm or deny, only that they are interesting.

    Interlude V
  • Sidestory
    • Storms rage. Tempests are tos'd. And here, on a boat that is on the verge of sinking, the worst possible reunion you could have expected to occur is happening.

    "Father." You nod curtly, for you have manners.

    "Son." The reply clipped, his eyes boring into you with equal parts approval and pity. Well, you don't blame him all too much.

    When one faces the might of the Argo, its prow dwarfing one's small dinghy and its archers, each Servants of legends on their own merit, there really isn't much to say.

    "Surrender and you may join us."

    "Tempting." Your armour is rent and destroyed in pieces, arrow shafts protruding off your flesh. Other parts are scorched off but that's just business of taking head-on blasts of magic straight on. "But I must decline... sorry." You take a fighting stance, one mirrored by your fat- opponent. The battle will come down to speed. The Aegis will protect you against his blows but against the Archers... not so much. Now-

    Now all the thought in your, and perhaps your opponent's , mind is turned astray at the crack of cannons. A new player has entered the field as their weapons of gunpowder hits the shimmering shields that protects the Argo.

    Chance. You burst towards the form bearing spear and shield in front of you as two Archers fire their arrows at you. Their shot hits true but he did not expect your aggression, slamming through and- A retort of cannons rings once more -crack the ship in half.

    Now, you curse the name of Poseidon as you activate full- emergency- thrust. You dive down, deep deep down to the roaring sea and trusting in the protection of Athena to provide you the air needed to survive.

    ...if that will not suffice then the Holy Grail will.

    "Damn that Lancer! Damn him and his- grah!" Jason fumes and stews, as the Argo sails away. The intruding ship had, for a wonder, arrived in the nick of time to help Rider escape. Why, he did not know. Only that-

    "Calm down dearest." The form of Medea next to him does such. Her hand grasped his for comfort. "There will be a next time."

    "But our plans-"

    "Will be completed. It is a setback. But it is a survivable one. He could not have gone far."

    "He absolutely could." A third voice interjects. Atalante is unlike herself these days. The hide of the Calydonian Boar warps her even now, her admirable qualities veiled under a bestial rage. Still, she remains who she needs to be. An Argonaut.

    "Much as I hate to admit it, our quarry is dangerous." A fourth voice, harsh and deep, assents. "In fact, I would advise that we go and take care of distractions like Lancer and his contemptous ilks. Pirates and barbaroi one and all, their defeat will make taking him down a trivial thing."

    Murmurs of assent and nodding of heads ripple through the assembled war council. Jasons speaks up then, "Argus, when will the ship be repaired?"

    "Two days, Jason. Give me two days and not only will the Argo be repaired, but it will be made... better."

    "A week." Jason said to the surprise of everyone. "We will make landfall and you will construct two more ships akin to Argo. None will be like it but if we are to exterminate all interlopers on this high and wide seas and find Odysseus... we need more ships to cover more grounds."

    "Then your will be done."

    "And Laertes?" Jason said offhandedly to the still damp Argonaut on the corner. "Do not blame yourself too much. Make it up by taking down Lancer. Leave your son to me." His eyes narrows as he mutters, "The Grail will be ours. He will not stop that."
