Strider

"Alrighty, that's fine." Morp pushed the cell into the robotic hand. "Just find the time. If you can't make anything special, finding something is always good too. But remember, I don't forget debts. So be sure to keep an eye out for payment."

Morp dissappears for about 30 seconds, and then comes back with a cylinder that appears on the ground. "Found it!" The cylinder is made of something clear and metallic, and holds some sort of blue liquid or gas in it."A lot of my stuff isn't labeled yet, I've just been having some trouble figuring out how to do that for stuff that I don't know much about. But this was in the section for energy. Wasn't much there, but here ya go, take a look!" "If you want it, just give something you don't want that's still interesting in return, or do so in the future. Maybe a different kind of energy storage thing, since I don't know how, but I've only got one item in that section."

"Lemme just go take a look okay. Some small payment would be appreciated, but if I got anything, I'll give it to you on credit, okie?"

"Hey Hirata!" Greg didn't seem to be all that interesting. No neat gadgets, and Mr. Roy was probably going to want the chip. "Want me to check if I've got anything to store energy? I've got a big collection, all sorts of stuff. Maybe something you'd be interested in." Morp wasn't certain whether he had anything on electricity storage, but he definitely had electrical devices, and he definitely had energy storing devices. Separate locations in the collection, but he could find them. "I think I've got some electricity working devices too, but I don't know if they store it. They might just turn it green or something."

"Hi Greg, I'm Morp. Are you human? You've got metal on your face, so I'm not sure. I haven't seen many, but none of them had metal yet, under their surface." Morp comes a little closer, to get a better look at the metal under the man's skin. Is there anything disconnected that he could grab? "Anyway, as the man says, we need you to start talking! I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."

"Hi! Who are you?" Morp asked the man sitting on the ground. In the mean time, while he listens to the man, Morp attempts to rummage through the boxes on the floor, the open ones at least. Maybe there'll be some neat collectibles inside.

"Oh, I see." Morp bounces up and down in simulation of a nod. This woman called herself Hirata or something, right? She was nice. Some people never answered questions. "By the way I've got a collection of things, if you ever want to buy something. Items from allllll over the place. You just need something to trade, like a book!"

Morp bobs over to the girl with the pillow. "What is Zenkai?" The creature had been paying attention to the conversation, in that he heard the words spoken. However, Morp didn't comprehend most of this. Human spirit? Humans were a type of creature, he knew that, but spirit, that was like alcohol, right? He couldn't remember, he had some human books but somehow they never seemed to mention this stuff. "Miss, are you and the large guy from the same species?"

"Tricks?" Morp remained still for a moment after the accusation. After a moment of searching through his memory, Morp stated airily, "I am not a magician." The orb then floated off back towards the window to stare at the large bird.

"Will there be books, missus? Do you have books? And pay?" Morp made his way over when the woman spoke. The orb didn't really know why it did so, but it just felt as though he should be listening and answering. "Morp will work very hard for books and pay. Especially if it means completing my collection."

"Hi ma'am! This is a nice place you got!" Morp burbled cheerfully, floating over to the bird by the window. Though the floating orb of vapor doesn't have anything resembling eyes, it is obviously staring curiously at the bird. After a moment though, it floated back, apparently already bored by the bird. "Oh boy, hi everyone! I'm Morp! Traveling collector of valuable items." Morp bobbed lower to the ground, in a somewhat failed approximation of a bow. Apparently it wasn't quite clear to the orb, wherever he got the idea of bowing, that it didn't quite work with that physical form.

The Orby Boi

Liliya turns her focus to one of the larger beasts like the one that had just been taken out. Basic attack on Greater Lahmu B. 3d4+DEX, with dex% chance to deal 1.5x damage. Slashing and Blunt damage are reduced by 2 points.

Harry laughed softly as he stood up, with barely a wheeze. "Gonna have to hit harder than that." He'd never had that happen before, so it was exhilirating to learn that he could shrug off a speeding tank to the chest. "I'll keep you up for a bit while you do that, Frigus. But after you do your thing, we'll need to move. Eliminating the threat from the cannon before these 'lost' creatures get to us is a priority." For the time being, Harry remained where he was, still trying to keep generally between the enemy and the drone. He kept on alert to patch up the icicle man. If Frigus is damaged, heal him. Also use the turn gained from Speedy Prognosis to heal Frigus or Harry himself for 2d4+13 if one of them is damaged. Frigus is priority. Also continue to attempt to bodily shield Runner 1 drone from view and incoming fire.

"Does anyone's magic let them speak at range? It would be worth a shot at least. It makes us look better to anyone else that might hear about this if we try to talk first." Ena was also confident that if they had to send someone in to talk, she could do so decently well. She had nothing to fear from the primitive weapons, except maybe the magic. And the teammates could help keep that to a minimum, right?

Liliya rushes forward to one of the more injured Beasts. This would be the last battle for a while, and they just needed to get through it. Basic attack on Lesser Lahmu B. If it's dead, move on to Greater Lahmu B. 3d4+DEX, with dex% chance to deal 1.5x damage. Slashing and Blunt damage are reduced by 2 points.

"Thanks Frigus. Let's just keep pushing forward. We'll run out of time quick once they notice that we're trying to get the drone in close." Use main action to move forward to B5. Use the turn gained from Speedy Prognosis to heal Ao or Frigus for 2d4+13 if one of them is damaged. Frigus is priority. Also continue to attempt to bodily shield Runner 1 drone from view and incoming fire.

Heal Ao or Frigus, or both if they get hurt this turn, for 2d4+13

"Alexandria, you feeling alright? You're bleeding, somehow." Edmond called out as he passed over, heading towards Ritsu. Numerous other ripples were visible, some sort of reality distortion? They had effects--some obvious such as a gain in speed by one creature, some form of armoring for another, and teeth--other things were not so clear. "Watch for the variations! This warping's giving varied effects even to similar monsters! Try to take down the one with the light!" As he reached Ritsu, Edmond worked about rapidly re-soldering connections, aligning axles and pistons, and generally trying to assist Ritsu in getting behind cover. Use Strenuous G-Force (Free Action), and take 17 (Reduced by 32.5% to 11 HP) to move at the 19 spot in the Initiative. There, heal Ritsu with Quick Tune-Up for 2d6+INT HP. Edmond regens 10% of his max HP.

Flight wasn't fun. At some point, Liliya knew, she'd need to get something to fix that. Surely that'd be feasible, whether it be a ranged weapon like a gun, or something that let her strike enemies in the air from the ground with her knife without throwing it. . . Use Knife in the Back on Lesser Lahmu A, deal basic damage (3d4+DEX, with dex% chance to deal 1.5x damage.) and if the enemy is using a defensive action, this attack does weapon damage +SYN+1d6, ignoring the effects of that defense. 2 turn cooldown. Slashing and Blunt damage are reduced by 2 points.

". . . Alright." Edmond didn't state it, but he had very little idea what Atton was talking about. There were enough people here that he hadn't memorized the skillsets of every person present. He'd tried to get a good idea of most that he'd worked with, but still not all. "I'll give some call outs, patterns and the like once I've got a better view." Edmond called out as he took off into the air. Use Stress Testing to deal 1d4+INT on Greater Lahmu B, and increase damage by the next strike on it by 15%. Heal 10% MHP.

Edmond raised his eyebrows at the exchange, but didn't comment. Internal squabbling wasn't his problem, and it seemed unlikely that Silef would die. The team had healers of it's own, and there'd been no casualties in any of the previous battles. Perhaps optimistic, but it was his read on the situation, and he knew not to let it make him over confident. "Thank you. I'll see you on the field then." With that, Edmond gave another bow, and stepped away to call LOTUS over the comms. "I gave the info, and Lord Silef will be joining us. She thanks you for the information. We should be ready to go as soon as the scryers are done."

Assassin: "I'm going to stick off to the side, Master. Doesn't sound like a Servant we want catching us unprepared. Not that we'd want any to catch us so, but this one in particular doesn't sound great." Liliya pulled back from where this Nadia was leaving, and headed around to keep her master in view as he traveled, but off a bit in spirit form. "Though, given this kid's kinda pathetic abilities, anything might seem strong to him." Min: As Peter's transmissions gre garbled, with a greater degree of fear coming across the link, Min felt his own heartbeat rising. This was a bad idea. A horrendously ill thought out plan. And when that final snap came through the link, and then nothing, Min was already shouting, "DRIVE." They were near to a Servant that had easily defeated his, and he was servantless. Near meaning a few blocks distant of course, but the servant might be fast, and might be on the lookout for them. What to do now, what to do.

"No, not yet, they said they'd send someone else. . ." Edmond trailed off as his earpiece activated, and he listened for a moment, before quietly saying "Ah. Got it." He was. . . vaguely aware of the name Gilgamesh, and the fact that there were some stories written about him, but nothing else. "My apologies. They found someone immediately after I left. The name is Gilgamesh. And Gate of Babylon apparently is the ability to have gold versions of every treasure known to man. He'll prefer to summon magical artifacts, given his Caster nature. Hopefully that makes things a bit easier." "By the way Lord Silef, care to join us for this last battle? It looks to be more difficult, for the obvious reasons, along a dragon that must be dealt with."

From courtyard to War Room. Upon entering the castle, Edmond made his way to the war room, searching for either Silef, or someone to lead him to her. Once he was in her presence, he began to speak carefully after a short bow. "Lord Silef. Through questioning of some of the Servants, we've obtained some information about the last Servant, Caster. It's vague, but here. The title 'The King of Heroes' was used to describe him. His strongest ability is called 'Gate of Babylon'. He can create artifacts, and has great magical power. There was also the implication of him having prepared his territory in some manner."
