Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

That would be fine Orson wouldn't find it pleasant but he's fine with that deal.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

Oh yeah sorry that was my fault.

"In interest of mage security I believe you may take what you can fit on a small plane. We will be flying you there in a plane normally used by us to secretly move our magical objects without chance to expose ourselves to the general public. The church shall be moving their people there on their own. I believe you should bring what you believe you can manage without it seeming suspicious to the general public. Remember this is a small town not fit for large movements. As such you must be careful with how you employ your craft there." responded Director Orson as he looked over at the young lady. He wasn't sure how to properly answer that question in his experience mages were a particularly whiny bunch if they didn't get to bring their favorite object with them that may, or may not improve their quality of magic. At the same time moving giant obelisks for example would be a pain to do without the public finding it weird. On the subject of men however..."Anderson about that contingency plan we discussed. Will you be able to supply more men if needed?" asked Anderson who nodded quietly he didn't appear to view it necessary to speak on the matter.

"There's a small town with no airports, and about a thousand, or so people residing there. I would hesitate to call it a city. If you need to you can use that city as a staging point however remember that the rules of the grail wars would apply there. If you chose to accept my offer this day you will be sent there by plane, and make a car ride there. It shouldn't take too long a few hours. I expect the Grey Family to have eyes there. If not sending one of their cronies out to make sure any new comers are found. The Grey Family want a secure area. Even if it means a death match. Which is why Father Anderson is here. Expect him to do most of the heavy lifting. He insisted on it." commented Orson as he pointed to the Father who gave a rather sadistic grin. "Oh it'd be my pleasure Director. Spilling the blood of traitorous heathens is my business. And I've gotten good at it." Anderson stated calmly. Orson further explained himself as he went along, "The Grey Family is specialized in many arts. I heard their children are especially talented with the mystic art of illusion. It could be their handy work. The father of them, Alistair Grey, is a master of all sorts of magics. One could say he was a prodigy here are the clocktower. Expect powerful magic from him. As for Servants...berserkers....and maybe Casters could be responsible for the maulings. I'm afraid I have no details on the matter further. And as for the rest of our faction. There will be others but you're all here because I want you to be, and they are't here because I asked them not to come. There's a fellow student of mine she will be joining you soon. I already explained much of this none the less she will be instrumental in your ability to take out the Grey's defense." Orson told the group as Anderson spoke up, "When I was referring to a second colleague of mine earlier I meant a partner of mine. They'll be helping us but don't expect them to show their face until they're needed. Unlike me they're not a people person." Anderson said before anyone asked about his previous statement.

I'll respond further with Leon but he won't do much to change the narrative. I wrote what I could while waiting at school.

"Even though pride is a sin I feel the need to inform you Mister Thane. There are no men like me. I hope it stays that way no one should be in my shoes." commented Anderson as he straightened his jacket. He looked over to the new Executor and frowned, We as humans are flawed beings. Creatures that are bound to this world to do the work of jesus, and god. We are not so easily able to put aside our weakness. I forgive you for your impertinence in this circumstance since you're willing to see fault. However please keep in mind to walk in god's grace, and treat others as you wish to be treated. As the Lord wills it so it must be especially for us who have dedicated our lives to his divine justice. These mages around us live a different life than us. Be it for the better, or worse do not fault them and accept them as they are. No one ever said they liked it when the Jesuits came knockin' on their door after all." Anderson told the younger Executor with a calm, and fatherly patience as he nodded he turned to Orson.

"I apologize please continue Director." commented Anderson to his colleague who looked at his watch and nodded in return. "It is time I got started now listen up, all of you; As you all may, or may not know this is a time of dire circumstances. The Family Grey led by their patriarch have taken control of at least several servants. How they managed to do this is unknown since the location of the Greater Grail is unknown, and presumed destroyed, we have the possibility that they altered the current grail in some way in order to summon their current servants. There is precedent as 'fake' grails have started wars in the past." Orson said as he pointed out some of the starting key points. "The war we find ourselves on the precipice of is a Great Grail War of only there have been less than a handful. We can assume that there is a director chosen by the Grail, and thus the Throne of Heroes itself, known as 'Ruler' has likely been summoned somewhere. Great Grail Wars start when a group control multiple servants all under the same banner usually more than four." commented Orson as he brought up some dark photos of what was presumed to be the Grey's Manor. It was surrounded by a forest in one picture, and another was clearly just the mansion itself. "They have withdrawn any representation they had with us here, and have moved their place of residence to a more secure location. When our scouts, and allies got near it they found themselves hounded by some sort of curse magic that made them wander around aimlessly. No doubt the forest has been enchanted. However a few of them were actually killed by unknown assailants. Mauled to death. We can assume this is a declaration of defiance from the Greys. Whatever they intend to do has no place negotiating with us. As such we can also assume further that they have prepared themselves for war. Is there any questions before I continue on? I do not wish to lose everyone." commented Orson calmly as he looked around the group. His professional tone did not waver.

Leon did not say anything sitting still and remaining quiet as he had little to add. The circumstances at hand were going to be difficult but he felt if they summoned strong servants they would win the day. A magical forest would just mean that they would need a specialist to aid them in the matter. Leon figured whoever was being sent with them meant that they would be covered in most areas. He could hold his own...but against a 'servant'? He was unsure.

if thats what you want to do. I just believe it would be better if at least one of the others spoke up.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

@ManyThingsOrson will be getting the master of Caster directly on the way there. He's already talked to her.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

waiting for other people to reply before i do. If Orson just started barking out exposition it'd be out of place.

Fate/Crimson Dusk - War of Light, Grey, and Dark

No it doesn't need to be two way. If you look at Jeanne you can see her statistics even if her back is to you. The way I see it being fair is if you have a better idea of what they are class wise, and you see them use the skills you may see their proficiency with it. Otherwise you'd just see the statistics. If skills are able to be seen without it I believe like you say it makes it a bit to transparent. Likewise it didn't take long in Zero to suss out who was who when compared to Stay/Night.
