[center][h3][color=EEE8AA]Caster of Red - Skuld[/color][/h3][/center] Caster remained still, considering her master's words carefully. While it was true that the masters of their own alliance were more than likely going to betray them if given the opportunity, it felt strange to already be planning for the dissolution of alliances. Of course, when it came to the mention of combat prowess Caster could not deny her own weakness. In a fight against most servants, her loss was almost certain if she were to stand and fight to the death. Caster raised her hand as if to accomplish some manner of brutality upon the squirrel that had intruded, but she lowered it once she sensed nothing hostile from it. Closing her eyes once more, Caster shut the world out from her eyes once more before she returned to her Master's side. [color=EEE8AA][b]"Scouting...I see. I do have a solution, albeit a rudimentary one. Any living or dead that I could construct would be dispensed immediately...but a curse carried by one of your familiars could allow me to raise a number of the dead beneath their very feet,"[/b][/color] Caster said, a faint smile to her lips. [color=EEE8AA][b]"The countless clawing dead beneath their feet would serve to, if nothing else, let us observe their methods of combat. Alternatively, I could shroud the presence of a servant, preferrably Assassin, to scout themselves. I once hid an entire army in shadow, so one body would be trivial. Aside from that however, I am sad to say that I am not a scout my Master."[/b][/color] With her head bowed, Caster wondered which method her Master preferred. After all, if the dead were dispatched immediately then it would only serve to give the opposite alliance knowledge of her form of combat. But sending Assassin alone, even with an enchantment, was tantamount to suicide if a single misstep occurred.
