Chevaleresse

So, I'm guessing he ignored Saber's second swing?

The Axew let off another growl for good measure, then continued to tear at her food. Kage, however, was occupied by something else. "Just forget about her. She's just jealous that you have such a fantastic partner." He offered a cheesy, spaghetti-stained grin, trying to lighten Ryan's mood.

I figured I would just dodge the issue. *ducks for cover*

Saber leapt into the air, barely avoiding the swing of Berserker's blade as he vaulted over him. He took another swing at the rival Servant's unprotected back, though he was anticipating a parry as Berserker turned to follow him.

Saber dodged sideways out of the path of Berserker's charge and brought his blade around in a vicious counterstrike, aiming for the other Servant's midsection while he sidestepped the flying blades.

er. . . idk. they're made of magical energy, so i would assume that whatever force blocks other kinds of magic would cause them to dissipate upon striking Saber. Even if they did affect him, however, it wouldn't be a very significant one due to how friggin strong Servants are compared to humans.

I would assume that he has knowledge of his own abilities.

Would those blades even be able to affect Saber? Magic resistance and all.

I'll wait a couple posts for Siegfried and co. to make it there, since the battle's timeframe is much smaller than what was happening previously.

Yeah. Question; do attacks just glance away, do they hit but do nothing, or is there a barrier of some sort that physically stops the blow?

Beowulf tore his arm off, and then Grendel bled to death. He kills Grendel's mother with the "sword forged by giants" and then fights the dragon with Naegling.

Siegfried grunted in affirmation. "He has. Something doesn't feel right, though. He claimed he felt nothing when he entered the field, which unsettles me, but there's something more. I think I'm going in to investigate." He started to walk forward, making sure to keep distance between himself and Lancer. He still didn't trust the others in the group, especially since neither had cared to share the abilities of their own Servants. I've made a tactical error. I mistakenly believed they would honor the idea of sharing information that exposed oneself. I will not make the mistake again. The magus strode through the barrier and picked his pace up to a quick jog. "We should hurry, this field makes me uneasy." He kept stealing glances over his shoulder, though. Who's to say my Grail War will not end right now? Caster before me, Lancer behind.

Beowulf's Strength is A+, the D rank is the acid blade attack. (Which still causes more damage than a regular attack, but would be blocked by your NP. edit: frigging ninja. I assumed the blows delivered came from his Strength stat and not from the rank of the weapon itself, otherwise he would be able to just pick up an iron rod and beat Berserker to death with it since the rod has no rank.

In case this seems inconsistent, I'll just mention that Beowulf was both a loyal "knight" (they didn't really have them) and very arrogant.

Saber threw back his head and laughed at the woman's threats. "You think that - hah! - that I am going to die here tonight? You are not my goal, but I cannot decline such a bold challenge." He fell into a practiced guard, not quite reckless enough to go charging in. "We will see who has the stronger arm, but I have my suspicions as to what the result will be." Saber chuckled again, but maintained his stance.

Saber strode down the street, slowly closing in on the presence he sensed. If only I had been able to sense Grendel and his mother coming; perhaps I could have prevented further deaths at their hands. This ability is quite convenient. As he walked, he drew his sword and moved closer to the center of the street, looking down alleyways and scanning the tops of the buildings in the area. He stopped outside of one, sensing the presence of another Servant within. "Come out and face me, Caster!" His voice rang out, clear and deep, challenge echoing down the street. (That's your cue.)

oi, my MA bros should be paying attention here

so, can Caster detect people entering Hysteria?

but saber of red is second best saber

rosesong is ame's petlil so

I find it amusing that our avatars match our servants for the most part.

"Oh, that sounds good," Kage replied, gesturing at Ryan with his fork. He leaned toward the dragon in question and spoke. "How does that sound, Virtes?" The Axew ignored him, though. She was too busy glaring daggers at the Spheal stealing her precious food. The undersized Dragon-type let a low growl come from the depths of her throat, promising pain if Glacien continued to eat her food.

Shiny is a jackass.

Siegfried left the building and walked toward the church with a fast, yet measured, pace. Walking gave him time to consider his strategy, how he would fight Caster without risking his own neck overmuch. Simple is best. I'll simply have Saber force Caster to retreat out of the field, and the other Association masters will finish them there. After walking for nearly an hour, he was stopped by Saber materializing in front of him. "My lord, the boundary of the field is just ahead." "Good. Do you think you can locate Caster?" Siegfried knew the probable answer, but it was good to be sure. "Yes, my lord. I do not believe the field will prevent me from sensing Caster's presence." Siegfried looked around before speaking again, ensuring his companions. "Saber, I ask of you two things; the first is to not speak of this command to the other masters." He waited for a response, and received a slow, somewhat concerned looking nod. "The second is that I ask you to prevent the death of Caster's master, if it is within your power and does not endanger you excessively. Now, go into that field, tell me what it does, and find Caster." Saber looked at him with an unreadable expression, then walked away, remaining in his physical form. Siegfried followed a short distance behind; he did not want to slow the Servant behind. The edge of the field came into his senses quite quickly. Saber walked through cautiously, one hand on his blade. His Master unconsciously mimicked the gesture, hand on his own sword. After standing within the field for a short time, the King of the Geats shrugged. "I don't feel anything. Perhaps it only affects those that are not Heroic Spirits?" Saber looked back over his shoulder at Siegfried. "It can't be lethal, or we would already know of its effects. There are thousands of people living within the boundary. Still, I am not confident in my chances against a Servant on my own, and I would only be a liability. In fact, I'm counting on Caster being with their Master for that reason. Should Caster flee, I wish you to take their Master into custody - but remember my previous command." Siegfried looked around again, and simply decided to stand and wait for the other masters on the sidewalk. "Now go." The Servant obeyed, walking forward and disappearing into the streets inside the field.

"Can't argue with that," Kage said with his mouth half-full of spaghetti. Lucas and al'Thor levitated their plates over to sit beside Kage, though he wasn't entirely sure how, exactly, the Beldum was eating the food. "Oh, I can't believe I forgot you guys!" He sent out both of his new catches. Kage rubbed the Tyrunt's head before she had a chance to run off. "How does the name Reina sound?" The dragon chuffed a sound of approval, then walked over and grabbed a dish of food for herself. She held it delicately in her powerful jaws, bringing it over to sit by her. The Axew, on the other hand, didn't wait for her trainer, and simply made a mess out of a bowl as she pushed it along the ground. "I'm not sure what to call you, yet, little Axew." He looked up at Ryan. "Any ideas?"
