Not for the moment.

thats why i ignored them. I mistook you for moving when you clearly weren't.

If you had been crawling along the ground to escape, I assure you the results would've been hilarious.

A+: It is possible to disappear completely and become almost impossible to be detected. However, efficiency will decrease once preparations to attack are taken.
C: Hides one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying. The rank of presence concealment drops considerably when preparing to attack. However, this condition does not apply to poisoning something.
D: Suitable for spying.

Doesn't say anything about masking sounds. It's why *cough*Lancer*cough* was listening for blood dripping and the jangling of all the grapeshot in Assassin's body.

Even A+ Rank doesn't mean you're suddenly completely invisible and undetectable by any means. It simply means that it's all but impossible.

Indirect methods, on the other hand? Totally fair game.

That person who Lancer is clearly trying to have filled with shot.

Since Assassin was actually incapable of making preparations for an attack, his Presence Concealment was working at maximum strength. He was able to disappear completely, detecting him became nigh impossible. Even the blood oozing from his body was hidden, if not by his skill then by the copious quantities of other blood on the ground from the dead and injured."YOU!" Mark shouted, pointing at Lancer. "What did you do?!" Alysis and Saber quickly moved to where their friends were, checking to see if they were injured.

The sound of blood dripping caught Lancer's ear.

"There." A dozen muskets reacted to the Servant's thought, their senses tied to his own as they opened fire. "Unfortunately, lad," Lancer continued, ignoring the din of the other brats, "I don't abide much by cowards. Now, I don't know what you did to mess with everyone's memories," Even as the elder man rambled, his Eye of the Mind (True) working feverishly to predict the man's movements based on the blood dripping and soon to be joined by the telltale sound of shot jangling within a body, "But I'll have you stand accountable in the eyes of the People. The Lord, on the other hand, already knows and forgives your trespass, I'm sure."

Fate Arcana/Academy

Ichypa, one of them is an Arsonist rocker who's also drunk and distracted by beating the shit out of Alysis

And the other is a Servant with cannons out. One who will be absolved of blame by any investigation into the matter.

Ain't no one gonna be fooled.

The mass of Assassins collapsed, unslain but paralyzed. As his copies collapsed into piles among Lancer's army, unable to manually detonate the vests and not dead enough to trigger their deadman's switches, the original Assassin, still within Presence Concealment but immobile, decided that now was the time for the better part of valor. Staying too long had been his downfall once, after all. He released his Noble Phantasm, causing all his copies to disappear. Once that was done, Assassin triggered his Disengage skill, ending the battle and all battle conditions to their initial state, returning the condition of all techniques to "turn 1." This removed the grapeshot from his body, though Assassin wasn't quite ready to test if he could move yet.For, with the end of the battle, Assassin's Memory Erasure skill kicked in. From the minds of everyone present, the last several minutes vanished from their memories. One moment Alysis and JeeBee were about to throw down, while the rest of them were enjoying the party, and then suddenly they were back at the Tia dorm, everyone with Servants out, with no memory of explosions, of men in white, smiling masks, or of said man's abilities or . There were only the injured, the dead, and piles of rubble riddled with holes created by the grapeshot.

Lancer remained standing where he been the entire battle, unmoving. Blinking slowly, his eyes scanned the ruined Tia Dorm and saw the unmistakable signs of battle. One he had himself been in as well.

"So someone think's that they can fuck around with Old Hickory, eh...?" Lancer continued to observe. Messing with his memories meant that the coward still intended to flee, and as his senses expanded, the Servant paid attention for anything that was out of the norm. No one fought him and got away unbloodied, after all.

Teh as you used the affect of a non Passive NP, you should reveal at least the name. In good sportsmanship and guessing.

I was saving it for dramatic effect, actually. It'll come up before the end of the scene.

Fate Arcana/Academy

Oh they're not dead

As Lancer's soldiers charged in, filling the room with grapeshot, a few of the Assassins managed to make it behind chunks of debris. Mostly because they had enough of their fellows between them and the onslaught to give them the chance to run. Assassin's ground forces had been devastated.In the mean time, Lancer did Assassin's work for him. Jacob was tackled to the ground and covered by Berserker, holding a gleaming shield in front of his vitals, the fiesty wife called up more monsters to surround her and Jacob, soaking up the damage, while his guards physically picked up and pull hunks of debris to use as shields. As for the nameless, lucky fools who had survived Assassin's attack, well, they weren't so luck a second time, as those who were merely standing around in shock were turned into bloody smears.With everyone distracted by this new threat, the remaining Assassins on the ground promptly used Presence Concealment. Those still lining the walls ran towards Lancer's army, leaping at them from above, wearing bulky vests.

Even as masses of irrelevents were slaughtered like so much cattle, the masses of Assassins found that neither cover nor stealth would prove sufficient to shield them from the barrage. Grapeshot pierced through debris as if they weren't even there, striking the cowering Assassins all over the body, blowing them back but not enough to kill them as they fell.

So too, did those who attempted to use Presence Concealment, as they were similarly struck, felled to the ground by the unimpeded pellets, rendered immobile.

And as the last of the Assassin's charged forward, newly clothed, they found them to be utterly irrelevant as the grapeshot shredded their limbs and left their vitals mysteriously unaffected.

"Hmph." Lancer sighed musingly, "As if a skulking coward would ever be able to lay a hand on a Child of the Lord." Raising his cane up, Lancer bellowed, "YE WHO HEARS THIS! LET THE MASTER OF THIS HORDE COME FORTH AND BE JUDGED! LEST THEY BE REMOVED FROM THIS MORTAL COIL!"
