[OOC] Fate/Grand Order - Advent of the World Shattering Star

[vancexentan]

I mean I wanted someone to go into a specific room but i'll give it to you since its not that big a deal. I'll have it out in my post its just a bloodied knife.

[Rezod92]

I would have to double post and don't wanna do that. Maybe I could edit the find in my last post?

[vancexentan]

Go for it.

[Rezod92]

Alright. I'll do it when I get home.

[The Irish Tree]

Woop, nevermind, misread part of the post!

[vancexentan]

Its fine shit happens.

[The Irish Tree]

Maybe this is a sign I should fall asleep after accidentally posting IC in the OOC...

[vancexentan]

@Rezod92Do you want me to wait for you to post?

@The Irish TreeLike i said shit happens just gotta drink an energy drink or something idk.

[Rezod92]

@vancexentan

I'll wait for you to post first, seeing as how some of the recent posts have just been me and you before Tree and Enk dropped their collab post.

[vancexentan]

Alright if Scarlett and lancer are going up ahead they can get their own twenty to deal with how they fight them is up to them. The ones to caster's side I imagine Fran will be dealing with them but i imagine caster can do something as well.

[The Irish Tree]

Weren't Celtchar and Scarlett given the go-ahead to scout at the bridge as the vanguard?

[vancexentan]

@The Irish Tree No I don't believe so if not it was not intentional. If what I posted is skewed by my poor writing skills or something let me re-clarify.

Leon told the group to search the house, and area first. Then make preparations to move -together- with Lancer at the front of the group while Saber protected the rear, and caster/berserker protected the left and ride. That means they're moving together in a triangular or square shape formation down the street. What I took out of your collab post is Scarlett felt alienated by Leon, and Connor still and decided to move out of the house first and lancer vanished to move to her side more quickly. Prompting Archimedes to remind everyone Leon is in charge.

[Enkryption]

That did not happen. There isn't a single instance of Leon saying, "Everyone search the house." in any fashion specifically. The closest you can get is this: "Look I have my orders ready, and set. Once we're all sure we're not about to be ambushed we'll make our way down to the city of Fuyuki itself. Its probably where we'll find the servants, or some sort of activity."

Which is NOT an explicit order to do anything, but be alert.

The only person to do anything was Conner, sending Fran to scout; which, Scarlett took issue with, because they were better options than a Berserker to fill that role - to which, Celtchar also had an issue with, and suggest that he go scouting ahead, and Scarlett agreed to go with her Servant as his support.

Leon said, "Lancer since you offered do you want to take point while Saber takes the rear?" and Scarlett left as soon as he said it, because Conner tried to get on her for not listening to him, when she made it clear that she thought his action was impulsive and lacking the forethought of what his Servant is and does.

The only thing Scarlett felt in her collab is a complete and utter distrust in her team from top to bottom, and that she will die, if she has to rely on them to keep her alive.

[vancexentan]

Then I apologize for my own poor writing I thought I did give the team orders to search the house, or at least implied it in out of character in which case that was my mistake. I am not above noting more own shortcomings as a writer. And regardless of what Connor said, or did this is also a highly dangerous area where a servant with B rank instinct, and your own lancer felt was ominous so the action of moving forward without the group, when not given an express scouting order like Irish thought which I also re-read and did not give for definite, is also lowering one's survival odds.

[vancexentan]

I'd also like to mention no one has asked for clarification, and since today has already worn me out on a physical level from subjects outside this roleplay I'd like to remind everyone I am human, and while I'm trying to be polite right now and would prefer to keep a calm tone through this discussion.

[vancexentan]

Alright going to bed if anyone has a preference on how i can fix this tomorrow or in a few days i'll try to give it ago if not well it is what it is.

[Rezod92]

Okay, question:

Will we be getting additional Servants in the future or are we locked with the ones we currently have?

[vancexentan]

@Rezod92As I stated you're allowed to summon additional servants, or bench servants at you desire.

[The Irish Tree]

@vancexentan

Regarding the stuff that could be changed for the situation:

As it stands, it really feels like Archimedes is only contacting Leon directly when honestly, his warnings could also be useful for Celtchar/Scarlett in the field.

Even if you did accept Scarlett to fill up bodies, Orson and Archimedes should still probably understand where Scarlett is coming from in terms of trauma, and handle her with a bit more delicacy given that she's got psychological issues to go with her battle prowess.

Scarlett and Celtchar were scouting, and combat was meant to be a last resort. Scarlett even slowed her heartrate so they could sneak around better. It just feels odd to get randomly jumped by 20 skeletons all at once when the intent was stealth with combat maybe happening. Not to say I don't want Celtchar to fight, but they were going to try and pinch the enemy with the other Servants.

Also I'd say that in the future, Leon should be more specific with orders since if he specified "Celtchar, Scarlett, scout 200 meters ahead of the rest of us" that gives a very good metric for distance, and then it'd make sense if Archimedes was irate that they went well beyond that distance.

I hope this was helpful and doesn't come across as mean. Also, remember, its always possible to improve your writing! Heck, RPGuild helped me improve a lot myself.

[vancexentan]

@The Irish Tree No one has yet to ask Archimedes anything. Thus while it seems like he's talking to Leon he's actually talking to the whole group. It is a groups comms channel. He's not hiding anything from anyone. I can't exactly help if no one has asked him anything in the brief amount of time that has happened.

Scarlett has also shown a direct questioning of Orson of things he can't help. I'll spoil this ahead of time and put it in such if anyone does care

spoilers

Team A got cut off just before they went to combat a servant, and it was intentional on behalf of the person who helped trigger this singularity. The whole purpose of making this singularity was meant to completely disarm Chaldea as a backlog to the real intentions of the group. None of the Team A masters got a chance to give Orson real meaningful intel thus he has none to share. We will fair better because Team A managed to take the brunt of what was meant for them. That includes Saber, Berserker, and Caster servants.

without spoilers he is in a situation where he's basically just in a spot where he lost his best team, wasn't able to find out how, needs to admittedly throw Team B into the fire and hope for the best, and Scarlett still insults him as if has any other real option on the matter. Clocktower mages are still arrogant to some degree even the more reliable ones such as Goredolf, and Waver. So even knowing of her condition he isn't in any mood to have his ability, or authority questioned when he himself is in a position where such a matter he was being openly mocked by someone even with a disability he wouldn't take it. As it stands Orson is a respectable mage, and person who is currently highly stressed, and could possibly be the person who loses humanity's foundation if he makes a mistake. He isn't the type of person who is going to simply backdown when questioned.

If the skeletons are an issue fine I put them up front there as well to give you two something to fight, and make sure no one gets bitched out in character for being not careful. I can quite easily just make them unaware or go poof.
