Desecration of the Holy Innocents

[labarbebleue]

Now that Caster has teamed up with his new Master, Oichi, he'll be starting a campaign of atrocities every now and then across Mayfield; however, he will specifically be targeting a particular location that has been on his mind for a good while: the Church

Methinks ol' Peter will have his sense go off like crazy, prompting a little investigation, followed by a HOLYCRAPWHATISHAPPENINGHERESOMEONECALLDOCTORSTRANGEORSOMETHING

[labarbebleue]

Oh, he's free to join the fun, all right. The damage will be... pretty obvious. He should notice the Church slowly being transformed into a tentacled structure. That'll be fun for the guy.

[webball]

Solid. Let's rock.

I am late to everything /derps BUT I THINK YOU GUYS GOT THIS MORE OR LESS SORTED OUT? o/ Priority in saving Alessandro, then it's going to definitely get into a pretty big fight that might or might not level the building. Ciel's... fought Servants before in Mayfield, she has an idea what they're like, whelp. Though I will note that she'll beeline after Oichi, because she knows that a Servant without a Master is doomed to quickly disappear. It won't do much here, granted, but it'll be an effective way to take Caster and his demons out quickly and control the damage for the day?

[labarbebleue]

She might as well aim for Oichi because Marisa will be going for Caster. What I like about this relationship is that both are pretty much on Servant-level, but in terms of fighting, Oichi can fight and defend herself much better. She'll be strengthened by Caster making her that much more of a threat.

Meanwhile, Caster will be hiding himself inside a wall of flesh made from demons that will be more or less like a weaker version of his giant monster, but without all the physical threat. It won't be easy since the two will cover their weaknesses pretty damn well, but that's more or less a solid strategy.

Fft Nasu only ever said Ciel can put up a defensive fight against a Servant. And don't remind me of the 5th Caster vs Ciel debates I've seen once too often... It'll depend on a lot of factors, aha. Like if Oichi'd be killed if her heart or brain is pierced, but either way this would be a good fight mo_om Also, do you know if Caster's demons are more physical or spiritual in nature? I know they're basically on Lovecraft lore level monsters, but despite being prooooobably heresies, can they be qualified as "demons"? Nnnot sure if Sacraments would be effective, and I'm wondering about how much damage Black Keys can cause on these things too. Ciel would rather avoid using her insane magical potential (as in her mana tank is Servant level, which is pretty ridic and... Caster might pick that up? 8|a) if she can, but if not she'll start flinging around lightning spells. Means to an end, etc, although she'd be aware that she likely won't be able to best them with thaumaturgy alone, not when the enemy Servant is Caster class.

Pffft... Power debates in T-M fandom seems pretty intense. Good thing I've never had to be a part of one

[heteropennae]

KIND OF IMPORTANT, BUT

I feel the need to remind everyone of this. I'm either going to have to have Dizzy conveniently not be there, or you're may need to rework parts of your ideas, ha ha. I DON'T MEAN IN A BAD WAY, I just... yeah.

Dizzy's a time bomb and this is just the kind of thing that would set her off.

[labarbebleue]

... Ah. "Affects the entire game" sounds pretty bad... If that's the case, as it is now, it might need mod permission to go through... and I'd prefer working around my limits... well, I... I'm not sure how I can rework this since it would be best if it specifically happens in the Church. And it'd be OOC for Caster to show any discretion below gore...

...

I, uh... hm, I might have to scrap this plot. I never thought about this possibility...

[tenkai_soul]

Well, "affects the entire game" is just to suggest how far things can possibly go. It doesn't HAVE to, it just CAN, and it's something to always take into consideration when plotting out with Dizzy. It's a problem with playing a character with that kind of power that they can't just switch off.

[doctor_tyrant]

Mm, true, but in the face of abominations and a hell of a lot of gore, things could turn pretty bad.

And I just wished that I had researched enough beforehand to know that Dizzy was a part of the Church. That way, I could have taken that into consideration and plot with you before. But this is my mistake and I've learned from it.

But sorry about that post, I, uh... heh, you can see how quickly I back myself into a corner. That's all it is and I apologize for that. Honestly, though, it sounds pretty interesting, her power. I'm sure anybody sufficiently nihilistic might try to set it off every now and then, here or in her canon... at least, once they catch wind.

[hellsing_knight]

Hellsing doesn't take desecration of churches lying down (although if it's a Catholic Mass they brought that shit on themselves sry2say) but she can be in the neighborhood with Baskerville and a few firearms, if you still need peeps to turn back the insanity? Killin' horrifying things are what she does best.

[fearthebiscuit]

Gilles de Rais will damn desecrate anything he likes.

Oh yeah, there will be monsters that will seep out of the Church and Integra is more than capable of pushing them back. It'll more or less be a fight of endurance since... well, they'll respawn pretty frequently till Caster's beaten.

but hey, it's nothing that Integra and Hellsing isn't used to.

[hellsing_knight]

COME AT ME, BRO.

Hahaha excellent. She'll likely get the dog on the demons as soon as she figures out they're respawning. Any chance she might have a shot at Caster and Oichi, or has that already been taken care of?

[fearthebiscuit]

She might if she manages to get into the Church.

So far, it's just one person fighting Caster and two people fighting Oichi, so we're probably good. This will all be separated into threads for convenience.

[lunawolves10th]

Up for round two, broski?

[fearthebiscuit]

... oh, yes. That would be nice.

Any chance Garviel can help fend off the demons seeping out of the Church with Integra? At least at first.

[lunawolves10th]

Of course. dakka dakka dakka.
