No comment here. I am more concerned with character stuff than this...though it might be good just to have some Druids onhand for scrying or something if we can.
 
[X] Go up a little further the mountain. Make sure you cover the area there.

"We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the woods and the trees, we will fight them with my magic, bangstick, and flashy things!"

    • [] Go up a little further the mountain. Make sure you cover the area there.

    Staying where you were, you crossed your arms and considered your options. It'd be better if you searched with the Warriors too. You and Medb started moving towards the spots that the Warriors didn't go to. You decided to start with the top of this mountainside.

    Trudging through the snow, the two of you as ascended carefully while the Warriors checked their various positions. Medb's abilities were pretty handy in this sort of situation. You climbed as your boots dug into the snow until the mountainside plateaued.

    It seemed you eventually came across a barrier to the actual skiing range but the barrier had been knocked down. It seemed that there were traces of something being dragged here. You and Medb glanced at one another before you both moved on. You both went through the skiing area and waded through the snow to the dense patch of trees just ahead.

    It was cold but there was nothing at least. The Warriors would have sounded their horns if they found something. Medb walked by your side as she scanned the area before the two of you noticed markings on the trees. Glyphs?

    You both stared at it before you narrowed your eyes. It looked like an Asian script. Chinese? Your eyes widened when it suddenly glowed blood red as a rush of prana erupted from the ground, spreading outwards. A vicious gust of wind blew through the trees as you and Rider tensed up.

    "We got company," she chuckled as she held her riding crop.

    You saw gray wolves rush through the treeline and dart towards you in a pack. Baring their sharpened teeth and claws, their eyes were crazed and blood red as they moved. You blinked in surprise before one jumped to rip off your throat.

    Rider stepped between you two and sliced it with her riding crop. The beast tumbled through the air as blood caked the ground. You drew your gun and turned to aim at the sprinting beasts.

    One of them broke off while another went for Rider. Two more came from your sides before you and your servant moved. You charged the wolf and punched three bullets into its body before you dodged past it in a sloppy roll.

    Rider carefully dispatched the ones after her before turning your way "Brie!"

    "I'm fine!" You snapped as you held your baton and swung it to the side. One wolf charged with a frenzied snarl before you smashed it's skull with the stun baton.

    Raising your gun, your instincts guided your senses as you fired twice at the next beast coming your way. It tumbled and slid before you just as you zapped the animal with your baton.

    Rider crushed the skull of a wolf with a backhand and sent it flying into a tree where you blew its brains out. You went back to Rider's side as you heard howls come from all around you.

    The two of you made your way through the woods as you noticed more of that Asian symbol. It took you a moment to identify it but it seemed Chinese in origin? The symbols turned red in response to your movement through the woods. The sound of a war horn echoed behind you making Medb pause.

    "They'll have to manage. Hopefully they'll be fine," Medb said before she grabbed your arm and pulled you along.

    The two of you kept running until you reached the edge of the woods. You were then greeted by the sight of a full moon. What had been daytime turned gray heavens was no deep night as you walked out of the forest. You couldn't help but be captivated by it before Rider brought you back.

    Wolves gathered by groups but this time Medb was ready. She splashed her blood on the ground and summoned two Druids to guard you both.

    "Burn them!", She ordered as the Druids drew runes in the ground, calling forth a firestorm which snapped the beasts out of their conditioning.

    The pillars of fire faded out of sight before vanishing entirely. The Druids turned to Medb and bowed, awaiting her next orders as she smiled in satisfaction. You turned to catch sight of something you failed to notice upon escaping the forest.

    "Hey Medb. You know Dracula?" You asked her as you stared at the building attached to the side of the mountain.

    "The Grail told me it's a novel about a powerful vampire. Fictitious however but based on a real person," Rider replied as she stood by your side.

    The two of you stared at an ancient castle clinging to the side of the mountain as if it had been unceremoniously placed there. It was a grand yet threatening piece of architecture that spelled a feeling of dread at the pit of your stomach. Towering spires reached for the skies as glass stained windows cast an eerie glow from within.

    You didn't see this thing from the air before. Could a bounded field truly hide something this huge so easily? You couldn't help but feel lightheaded just thinking about the logistics of making such a base... A base.

    "Bet. It's Caster's territory," you suggested with a low hiss.

    "Sucker's bet," Medb scoffed as you both stared at the castle.

    "Goddammit Emiya, what did you get yourself into?" You growled as you holstered your gun, "I'm starting to get sick of vampires."

    "Want me to blow it up?" Medb asked as she casually took out Caladbolg from her side.

    "Well what if Emiya is in there?! You'll blow him up too!" You pointed out with a shrill voice. You grabbed her hand and lowered it, "Why don't we try knocking first?"

    "I say we blow it up," Rider decided as she crossed her arms, "We'll get Caster in the blast too hopefully."

    "No! No means no, got it?" You hissed as you glared at her.

    "Well aren't you two being rather sweet-"

    BANG

    You whirled around and shot a familiar blonde haired Apostle between the eyes. He staggered back while chuckling before the bullet was spat out from his forehead.

    "Ah, that stung," Conrad chuckled as he raised his head, "I was just saying hello."

    "Hi to you too. Now fuck off," you barked as you kept your gun raised.

    "Chill! Chill, chill, chill. Come on now, you don't have to be like that," Conrad said as he stepped back with his hands up, "I never meant you harm didn't I? I could have killed you two whenever I wanted."

    "No we expected someone to show up. It just had to be you, Leech," Rider growled as she tightened her grip on the spiral sword.

    "Well you see we had a pretty bad guest before you. He found Caster's Undead Farm and was very angry," Conrad said with a friendly tone, "He took his complaints to our Boss but she shut him up. Now she doesn't have any interest in him but Saber got away."

    "Where's this going?" You frowned as you kept your gun fixed between his eyes.

    "Well Saber hasn't turned up yet and the guy isn't in the position to speak due to a gag. So no command seals here but! All we want is Saber dead. Soooo," Conrad said as he spread his arms, "We want you to go kill Saber for us and we'll let that dapper man g-"

    "Burn him," Medb ordered as the Druids called forth fire once more to envelop the Vampire.

    Conrad jumped high to escape the inferno before landing a few feet away. You fired twice at him only to dodge the bullets as if they were softball throws. The Apostle's eyes emitted a rust colored glow as he laughed.

    The fire chased him before he moved away.

    "Great. This just keeps getting better and better," you sighed as you holstered your gun.

    "Plan?" Rider asked as the Druids kept the Apostle busy.

    "I'm thinking," you hissed as you bit your thumb. That stupid man getting jumped like this, no wonder Luvia sent you to clean up.

    How do you approach this?

    BOOM

    You perked up and turned to the castle to see someone running like the wind. You saw Emiya carrying a girl in his arms while being chased by shadowy figures. He ran through the snow as fast as he could before he saw you. His eyes were driven by fear as you saw what were chasing him.

    Belials. They were in the middle of twisting and mutating into more abominable forms.

    Shirou Emiya ran like the wind.

    He was yelling.

    "RUN!"

    Conrad landed on his feet with an impressed whistle, "Wow he got out of Caster's cage. Slippery fellow."

    "RUN! RUN DAMMIT RUN!" Shirou Emiya, Freelance Magus and Champion of Justice shouted as he was being chased by six foot tall lumbering Dead Apostles.

    He was being powered by his reinforcement while keeping the girl in his arms secured. He sprinted as fast as his legs could take him. A fireball caught Conrad on the head before you and Medb acted.

    "YOU FUCKING OWE US FOR THIS, EMIYA!" you screamed as you all dashed to the woods.

    "NO TALKING! JUST RUN!" Emiya shouted back as Medb kept up with the two of you.

    "Shit! They're getting close!" Medb hissed as she glanced back.

    "Rider!" You snapped as you decided.

    [] Bull Time! Time to fly out of here on a magic bull! That should be a good exit.
    [] Keep running. Hopefully Saber will pop out to join you with all the commotion.
    [] Buy time. Have Medb summon groups of Warriors as meat shields. You'll buy time for Emiya to escape with his cargo.
    [] Say something snarky about how if Emiya had the time rescuing princesses from castles, he could have thought this through like a sensible fucking adult!

    I feel at this point, any vote can be improved by adding Druids. They don't cost much mana, and with Warriors backing them up they can still do considerable damage.

    Voting for this unless we can pull off a rescue with the bull.

    Bring them out too many times and they'll eat through Medb's reserves before affecting you. Once Medb's reserves are empty, you'll start feeling the cost of providing prana for summoning them. Same goes for Warriors. I see it as Medb having her separate pool of energy that she spends before tapping into yours.

    @AnonymousRabbit if we summon the bull is there room for Emiya too? Or would we be ditching him?

    Fair, but even just having one with us would mean we have an Age of the Gods magi with us. Even if they aren't that smart.

    Would help a lot.
