Cipher Holy Grail War - Wave 3, Day 2 (Mass Combat)
The Saber had reached her destination a while ago. Running through the brush, stopping by a lake, and seeing the woman standing at the edge. The knight had frozen still, her eyes wide and her grip on her sword loosening slightly.
The witch sighed.
MORGAN: "…So, this is the hand that fate as dealt us. Don't waste your breath- we're enemies, so hold your sword as such."
GARETH: "…Mother…"
A gunshot rang through the air, as the Caster and the Saber looked skyward, seeing the incoming Archer. The Archer grinned, as more shots rained down, the witch setting up a shield of magic while the knight ducked for cover. Both of them returned to focus as the Archer landed, matchlocks spinning around her with theatrical malice.
NOBUNAGA: "Sorry, was I interrupting something? I was looking for-- well, that doesn't matter. You two are Servants, right?"
The Archer reloaded her shot, preparing to attack again.
MORGAN: "And so more and more flies buzz in. First 'Saber', then a gunman. Archer, if I had to guess. Do all of you insects with to die?"
At that-- the ground rumbled. You watched an incoming army moving closer and closer, trampling through the brush.
Marching. Incessant marching. Vengeful marching.
They were approaching.
The warlord cackled, her guns focusing in more on the encroaching Berserker army.
NOBUNAGA: "Uwahahahaha! Party crashers all around, huh?!"
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅▃▃▄▄▅▃▃▄▄▅---!!!!"
GARETH: "So many enemies, and she's one of them-- my heads spinning! But I can handle this!"
MORGAN: "Hm… let's see just how far that confidence will take you, 'Saber'. All of you-- prepare to face the consequences of facing me."
Mass combat ensues! Archer, Saber, Caster, and Berserker! Masters-- support your Servants!

In a 'Mass Combat' scenario, the rules of and skills relating to a "Free-for-All" apply-- excepting that the bottom 2 Servants take damage, and the 2nd place Servant takes the demerit!
The skill boosts this round are...
Oda Nobunaga: +5%
Sir Gareth: +2%
Morgan le Fay: +0%
The Unknown Soldier: +0%
SKILLS:
ODA NOBUNAGA
TRAIT: When engaged in a Free-for-All (while not Playing Defensively), all other participants are given a -3% demerit. If attacked while 'Playing Defensively'', they do not take the ambush demerit.
Unifying the Nation by Force (A Rank) - Nobunaga's power increases when fighting against an enemy possessing a higher rank of Mystery.
Tier 1 (Against Caster, ???, ???): +5% boost.
Tier 2 (Against Lancer, Saber): +3% boost.
Tier 3 (Against Berserker): +1% boost.
The 'tier' a Servant falls into is revealed upon engaging with them the first time. In a Free-for-All, this does not stack- only the highest boost is applied.
The Saber seems to rely more on martial skill than Mystery but has an element of magic to her weapons and techniques, while the Caster seems to rely heavily on Mystery.
Strategy (B Rank) - When fighting in a Free-for-All, she gains a +2% boost. No matter the battle type, if Nobunaga is encountering a Servant that she hasn't met before, she gains a +2% bonus to her poll results.
Nobunaga gets a +1% boost due to Defensive Play last round!
SIR GARETH
TRAIT: When engaging another Servant 1-on-1, they get +3% to their combat poll results. When engaged in a Free-for-All, they gain a +2% boost.
Gareth Beaumains (B Rank) - Her Saber-Class trait for 1-on-1 battles increases from 3% to 5%, and from 2% to 3% for Free-for-All's. When she takes damage, she gains a +2% offensive boost the following round that is not impacted by demerits.
Gareth's skills trigger! This round she has a +2% combat boost that cannot be reduced by demerits or ambushes! That will last until the round ends! When this skill triggers, it also means that her minimum cannot go below that granted boost of 2%.
Battle Continuation (C Rank) - When taking a mortal blow, Gareth can survive with one wound remaining, and she gains a +8% boost for the following round. This can only be activated once.
MORGAN LE FAY
TRAIT: If the Caster decides to play defensively, and are attacked by another Servant, they get +4% to their combat poll results and do not suffer the ambush demerit.
Witch of the Lake (A Rank) - When 'Playing Defensively', the Caster-trait score boost is increased +5%, and you cannot be caught off guard. Demerits (including those from Noble Phantasms) against Morgan are reduced in effectiveness by 3%, and she gains a +3% boost in one-on-one battles.
Reciprocated Slaughter (Scheming) (EX Rank) - When involved in a Free-for-All, gain an immunity to non-Noble Phantasm demerits, and inflict a -5% demerit on opposing Servants.
If Morgan gains 1st place in the Free-for-All by a margin of 10% or more, inflict a -3% demerit to your foes for their next round and gain a +3% boost for your next combat round.
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
TRAIT: If engaged in a 1-on-1 fight with another Servant, they get +5% to their final combat poll results, and when engaged in a Free-for-All, they inflict a -2% demerit on their enemies as well.
True Name Discernment (Warlord) (D) - An aggression and awareness targeted towards those who commanded others to their deaths. When fighting against specific enemies, their boost changes.
The 'tier' a Servant falls into is revealed upon engaging with them the first time. In a Free-for-All, this does not stack- only the highest boost is applied.
The Berserkers seem to show aggravation towards both Caster and Archer, though Saber is not safe from their ire either...
Madness Enhancement (Distributed) (A) - Each time a body is lost (as in, when damage is taken), they gain a +3% boost to their damage. They also get 1 more 'health' than other Servants... however, they cannot use Command Spells to restore health. (Current Boost: 0%)
Oblivion Correction (False) (B) - War never ends. When directed to 'Play Defensively', they will instead refuse, and attack a random opponent. However, their constant battle-vigilance means that they are completely immune to the 'Ambush' demerit. There is also a chance that they can 'surge'- their four bodies splitting to attack four enemies at once, though this also means four chances of taking damage. This 'incessant assault' can even disrupt the natural order of things- even invading full Free-for-All battles!

Cipher Holy Grail War - Wave 5, Day 2 (Berserker vs Caster)
AGRAVAIN: "…There's enemies approaching."
MORGAN: "I can sense them, Agravain. It's that Berserker."
MORGAN: "Hm. Well, handle them. I'll provide magical support. Go on, show our Masters just how strong you are."
The Berserkers approached the base, stopping as a figure clad in black armor stepped out into the open.
BERSERKER: "You are not the witch… but I can sense it. Blood on your hands. Cruelty. You thrive on the suffering of others."
AGRAVAIN: "…Is that so? Is that your impression of me?"
AGRAVAIN: "Very well. Then these iron hands will rip you to shreds without further consideration."
A clash of blades! Caster versus Berserker! Masters, support your Servants!

TRAIT 2: If they pick a Servant that isn’t targeted by anyone else, they get +5% to their combat poll results, and cannot be ambushed when Playing Defensively.
Witch of the Lake (A Rank) - When 'Playing Defensively', the Caster-trait score boost is increased +5%, and you cannot be caught off guard. Demerits (including those from Noble Phantasms) against Morgan are reduced in effectiveness by 3%, and she gains a +3% boost in one-on-one battles.

TRAIT: If engaged in a 1-on-1 fight with another Servant, they get +5% to their final combat poll results, and when engaged in a Free-for-All, they inflict a -2% demerit on their enemies as well.

The Berserkers seem to show aggravation towards both Caster and Archer, though Saber is not safe from their ire either…

However, their constant battle-vigilance means that they are completely immune to the 'Ambush' demerit.

The enemy shadow had fallen back, not destroyed but retreating. That was a victory, considering Ruler had said those things were unbeatable.
…And speaking of Ruler…
RULER: "...So, this is the strength of Oda Nobunaga... you really are as dangerous as the stories say."
The smoke faded, and the Ruler-class Servant tossed his cloak aside, as it was riddled with bullet holes.
MORIARTY: "I'm James Moriarty, a Ruler-class Servant. Your strength was within my calculations… though you weren't as predictable as I expected. However, with names on the table, I'd ask you to turn back--"
His announcement was stunted by the arrival of the Lancer duo. It seemed like choosing to follow the strongest traces of magical energy currently present led to here. Neat.
MORIARTY: "…For heaven's sake. Well, this is only one setback--"
There was a large pulse of magical energy. You watched as Caster slowly began floating above the water, the water turning inky yet reflective, the leyline becoming hers to use. A connection to the land- one that was absolute.
MORGAN: "…And that is that. No magecraft is beyond my control… though is this truly magecraft? Perhaps this is the magecraft of the modern era, but I agree even more with the whelp now. This would be dangerous to me- but I am a grand magus, and I am not afraid of modern magecraft."
-
Even as far away as that pulse of mana was, everyone could feel it.
You saw the Ruler look around, his brow furrowing in frustration.
Off and away, the ground rumbled for only a moment in response to the Caster's grand success, before stopping.
GARETH: "Was was that noise?"
BARTENDER: "The sound of inevitability, my dear."
-
MORIARTY: "Can you all just go back to fighting amongst yourselves--"
NOBUNAGA: "Yeah, yeah. Move."
MORIARTY: "Uwagh--!"
You watched as Nobunaga shoved past the Ruler, heading into the room he was blocking, as the Lancer duo followed behind. There was a massive machine set up, thrumming with magical energy.
ORYOU: "…Creepy."
One of the Lancers, Ryouma, walked up to the machine, reading something written along the side.
RYOUMA: "…'Multivac Station 01'…?"
NOBUNAGA: "Now this is something… so this is our 'Holy Grail'?"
The Ruler stumbled in, trying to keep some of his authority and dignity.
MORIARTY: "Hold it, fools! Just leave- this isn't worth anything until Servants begin dying in the first place! You found the vessel- you know where to go when you win- now you can bugger off!"
She returned to the waters from earlier, firmly and intentionally stepping within them, her robes drifting in the pool.
"…I'm not going to be deterred so easily."
Her voice was calm and confident, as she raised her staff.
"It wishes to unravel me? It can certainly try! But not before I uncover its secrets! Masters- I've set up a 'fast-traveling' spell if things go wrong. Should I, in a rare case, fail-- trigger it. I am not falling here."
Overcome the Leyline! Balance the polls!

The TOP 3 results of this poll will move on to the final round of Summoning Polls for the Caster Crew!
[ CASTER, the Heroic Spirit of Spells and Sorcery. These Heroic Spirits are generally known for having an attachment to magecraft, however over time this has become a Servant class for those with creative minds as well, their sense of wonder acting as a form of 'magic' as well (turned to a literal degree as Servants). Wizards, poets, novelists, witches, faeries- all of them convene under this banner, making the class incredibly varied. ]

The Summoning Circle hums with immense power-- you can call forth a CASTER! Who responds to your call?
Summoning Polls for the ’Cipher Holy Grail War’ close at the end of the week (3/21)! You decide who represents the Caster-Class!
Decide between the storybook witch 'Mother Goose', the musician Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the fairy-witch Morgan le Fay!
Vote HERE to join the Caster Crew!
'Mother Goose':
The concept of 'Mother Goose' is ultimately one who 'creates, presides over, and tells stories'. An inherently fictional entity that was treated like a person nonetheless, and therefore unfit to be a Heroic Spirit, existing in the limbo of something akin to a 'Phantom Spirit'- or perhaps a conceptual title that can be filled by a 'witch who controls stories'. Conflicting natures aside, 'Mother Goose' is a truly frightening witch indeed, possessing a great propensity for storybook witchcraft.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
A wunderkind beloved by god. Renowned as one of the greatest Western musicians of his time, and of history as a whole, possessing a propensity for the musical arts that bordered on inhuman. Rumors swirled around him like that he was blessed by the Muses or that he had connections to the mystic arts. A man who lives according to his own whims, resulting in a person simultaneously troublesome and inspiring.
Morgan le Fay:
The witch-queen and sister of King Arthur as recorded in Arthurian legend. Morgan le Fay provided a number of conflicting roles within Arthuriana, and therefore her nature is inherently multifaceted and splintered. The one constant is her love for the country of Britain, and that love is the biggest thing that makes her both incompatible and yet identical to King Arthur. A powerful magus and a genius of spellcraft, who cruelly manipulated others and served as one of the main components of Camelot's fall.
