While of course Caster while not the strongest of Servants, was more capable than any human and would be suitable for the task. Moving through Fuyuki City as they quickly passed through the familiar streets and sights that they had saw days beforehand to get acquaintance with the city. Their attention now, however, was solely focused onto the black plumes of smoke that lingered in the air that was getting closer. Together the two were pondering on what they might expect from the scene, as the closer they got allowed them to begin sensing the scale of the fighting. Once in the general area, the two of them stop at Jonathan's command and Caster's knowledge on picking up a perfect scouting what is happening right now. The clash between two servants was obvious, as they were in public in a duel that seemed to be dragging on for a while now with craters and debris everywhere. However, Jonathan didn't give himself the time to be enthralled by the eerily beautiful fighting of the two legendary figures and prepared to stretch his abilities. Tapping into his abilities not only as a Magus but a Master of the Grail War as well, he extended those magical senses through the battlefield to determine the position of things that he could determine. It was obvious that there were two Servants who were fighting in close combat but there was another that if they weren't hidden that seemed to play in the supportive role from afar, perhaps an Archer or Caster? There was no dispute though with the fact that the fight was taking place were involved with Servants as the spiritual energy in the area was concentrated from their repeated clashes and blows that anyone could see. It, however, wouldn't be good remaining exposed outside and began making his way inside through the door that lead inside the building that he was standing on. Taking his time to relay all that he discovered to Caster who was occupied doing his own thing. Caster, a specialist of war, could easily read and gauge the situation along with making further insight into the conditions of the battle even with the sliver of what he saw. It was easy to see that one side was superior and dominating the other who was barely hanging on by apparently ranged support as his Master assumed. Taking heed of his Master's warning as he too took cover while continuing to look at the battle of dancing flurry of blades and the sounds that resonated from them. His unveiling eyes scanned the two Servant's forms as a lifetime of wartime experience served him in determining the abilities between the two servants. However, with such mysteries surrounding historical figures like themselves didn't serve a good place marker for him with only bad estimates of their true power. His vision didn't fully catch the third servant who was wandering around the place but there seemed to be brief pauses in the battle where a stray arrow seemed to target one of the Servants. It seemed like this was a two versus one situation, that must be a concerning problem then if two Servants were getting pushed back by a single one... Caster himself didn't bother staying for long on the roof and head inside with his Master as well, knowing full well that the building has windows to peer from inside. It was a good place to set up a brief meeting and build a scene where they could briefly work at. Once the two were inside, there it began Caster's true abilities as he assessed the information they both collected and began to build the battlefield. Looking at the empty space inside the building they were in, Caster took no time in quickly constructing a simple territory with his class skill and began quickly. Manipulating the floor as models of the surrounding area began to arise from the floor as a map was created from Caster which depicted the battle scene in a three-dimensional scale. As a competent strategist, it was easy for creating the area with magic but the indiscretion was required for quick capitalization of the battle. [color=darkslateblue]"From what it seems Master, there are three Servants who are engaged in a fight right now. Currently it is a two versus one situation, but apparently, the lone wolf is pushing through and winning against the partners with a display of amazing skill that is no ordinary brute force. The other fighter seems to be honed in the art but only as a means of surviving trouble should it ever come, while skilled is inferior to the former."[/color] Caster commented as he looked at the map which detailed the surrounding area [color=darkslateblue]"With my abilities, I am sure to be able to sway the battle which ever way and guide them to victory but that chances at exposing ourselves and my own skills."[/color] Caster said with confidence, trusting his skills but in the end it would be up to Jonathan to give the final verdict in the say. [color=cadetblue]"Hmmm, it seems like it would be wise to take on the Lone Wolf then?"[/color] Jonathan asked Caster who simply nodded as it was obvious of how big a threat that Servant was. [color=cadetblue]"Then what shall the plan be then?"[/color] He smiled mischievously as he knew already that Caster had one, and began explaining it to him before they got moving to set things into motion. They didn’t even have to leave the building, rotating the side that they were on as they soon came to a section of the building that had windows out looking the fighting happening below. Setting up their scene quickly, Jonathan distorted the windows with the ‘Isa’ and ‘Mannaz’ runes that caused the windows to improperly reflect light causing a false image to appear to those outside looking in as if nobody was there. The next was giving his glasses to Caster which was the mystic code to improve one's eyesight and would prove useful for Caster. Watching him effortlessly channel his pool of magical energy into the glasses as the lenses flared up. With the start of that, Caster's vision was enhanced by the activation of the 'Kenaz' and 'Ansuz' runes when they were activated. Focusing the lens on their ocular abilities as they functioned as binoculars once magical energy was provided to them. They also complimented Caster's own abilities of 'Advice of the Strategist' and 'Command of the Strategist' as the runes of insight, revelation, knowledge, and inspiration were working together. [hider=Resources Consumed] [list] [*] Two Runes consumed out of previous Eight avaliable, [i][u][b]Total of Six left[/b][/u][/i] [/list] [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Confrontation] To announce their presence onto the battlefield, Caster began summoning his Noble Phantasm 'He Dao' in a surge of magical energy that would have attracted any Magus or Servants' attention. The use of his weapon was a risky one, but disguised behind the illusionary wall, for now, he was safe to use it indiscriminately. As a Noble Phantasm that allowed telepathy to send out orders and in general conversation, anyone in his direct vicinity would be able to hear his commands so he chose to let them hear it. Whether they would listen to his commands or not would be their choice but it would be their best chance to win and thus Caster gave a wave of his crane feathered fan that started everything. To the Servant who was losing the unrelenting onslaught of the Lone Wolf [color=darkslateblue]"If you wish to face this beast alone next time without the assistance of two other then feel free to go ahead but it would be best to neuter him quickly. Even if we do fail, I will try to guarantee your escape so that we may fight another day against this beast."[/color] He telepathically told to the Servant before he first began commanding on how to better defend against the skillful attacks of his opponents. Describing his opponent and his powerful and brutish fighting style so that he could understand the mentality of his opponent that would allow him to predict their moves. There would be a few moments of silence as Caster continued his diligent and proactive analysis on the Lone Servant with his abilities as he relayed them. [color=darkslateblue]"Where is your support? I shall tell them the best way to declaw this brute from afar despite the futile attempts so far against him."[/color] He mentally said to them with a wave of his fan both communicating both his words and continuous analysis on the Lone Servant fighting him. Telling him the different ways to adapt his defenses to suit any changes that his opponent may have done from the last instance that Caster intervened. To the Servant who was firing from afar, Caster had observed enough of the Lone Servant to allow their shots to be even more precise and accurate now that he was acting as their spotter. They would no longer have to uncertainty wait for a moment to fire in hopes that their projectiles wouldn't hit their ally and would hopefully prove to be a formidable offense. Together, he could cooperate with the two and maneuver beyond normal means between two strangers on the battlefield. However, this plan hinged on the other two Servant's ability to trust a stranger in guiding them to victory. Should those arrows be futile, then perhaps a combined offensive assault between the two would be able to seal the deal. But, as an unlikely event which he didn't plan on happening, there was a number of contingency plans in case the expected came. He hasn't even used his Crane Feather to its full potential yet, but he hoped he didn't have to use it. [/hider]
