Tumblr Holy Grail War, Another End: Night 1 (ALL SERVANTS)

Team Foreigner got Van Gogh's composure to 0! Something is happening!

-

Laughter.

Echoing laugher. Triumphant laughter. The laughter of a Servant who had lost everything. The laughter of a Servant who had gained everything.

Van Gogh. A patchwork Servant from beyond the void. Laughed.

VAN GOGH: "Ah... my deception ends here. Look upon 'Van Gogh'... the false Servant named Van Gogh... isn't it horrible? Isn't it beautiful? Ahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

A pulse emanating from the Servant shattered the bounds of the digital landscape that had been called 'reality'. This was the power of the Foreigner-class. The true power of the Foreigner-class, when deprived of the chains of 'logic' that bound it.

Six other Servants were hit by the pulse, the world around them collapsing, throwing them into hell. Havoc overwhelming. Chaos overflowing. A wave of utter madness, grabbing the minds of the enemy Servants and rending them asunder.

First, the Assassin.

Assassin: "...Where the hell am I... what the hell is that?!"

The Assassin drew his sword, uncharacteristic fear filling his mind and body. A shadow formed, vaguely in the shape of a Servant, unsettlingly enough. It lunged forward, as he stepped back, trying to defend himself as more shadows appeared.

Shadows from his peripheral, shadows that he couldn't see but hear, shadows that he couldn't hear but see.

Shadows that weren't real.

Shadows that were far too real.

Then, the Rider.

Rider: "Back off! Get away from me!"

He yelled, trying to add as much authority as he could as the false illusions patched together by real madness inched closer.

Archer: "...You're not real! You're an illusion, like Caster's Noble Phantasm!"

He yelled, as he tried to lie to himself, fingers rending at the stark white of his clothing, causing it to dye red. His own fingertips rent asunder as the skin on them began to wear down and redden as he scratched and screamed at nothing.

Saber: "Come at me! I'll cut you to pieces!"

She yelled, her sword swiping forward. It drew blood, before she screamed, clutching at her own shoulder as it bled profusely as it was struck in an identical spot.

Lancer: "Heh. You think you're cute, huh? We'll see how cute you think you are when this spear goes right through you!"

...An alliance, formerly airtight, splintered in seconds by the maddened wave of the unleashed Foreigner. Their identities began to crumble, as they engaged in bloody warfare.

Only two Servants stood in the wave unaffected. Perhaps both of them had already reached the crux of their madness to begin with, or perhaps they had already witnessed hell, and so this void was nothing but a reprieve.

Tortured Youth: "...So this is what you can do, Foreigner? I hope you're not plannin' on killin' me like the others?"

Patchwork Servant: "Ehehehe! Play with me, Avenger! Spin with me! Dance with me! Sing with me! Paint with me! Create with me! Don't mind the pain! Thrash and scream! Let's kill each other, and use our blood to repaint the world!"

Tortured Youth: "...Thought so. And here I wasted that mana boosting you up. Well, that's just my luck. Whatever, this little game sounds like fun either way. Let's play, Foreigner!"

EVENT: [ VOID SPACE ARMAGEDDON ]

Reality itself began to unravel, already thin threads snapping apart under the pressure of the Foreigner-class Servant!

Team Foreigner got Van Gogh's composure to 0! Team Foreigner used 'Wave of Madness'! With Van Gogh's composure at 0, she temporarily gains access to all of her skills until the battle ends!

Alliances are temporarily severed within Void Space! It's utter chaos! This is a battle for survival!

If Van Gogh wins first place, she'll inflict 2 wounds on every Servant!

If Van Gogh doesn't get first, then any Servant that scores under Van Gogh will sustain 1 wound!

Any non-Foreigner-class Servant that ends up in last place will sustain 3 wounds and be destroyed instantly!

Any non-Foreigner-class Servant that ends up above Van Gogh will be safe!

If Van Gogh gets last place, she'll sustain 3 wounds, but will lash out and inflict 1 wound on every Servant! if she gets anything other than 1st, she'll simply sustain 1 wound!

Skills such as 'Battle Continuation' or 'Independent Action' are nullified! Servants who perish in Void Space are gone!

Van Gogh's 'Wave of Madness' gives every other Servant a -10% demerit! …Angra Mainyu's been spared from the demerit?!

Angra Mainyu gave Van Gogh a +5% boost!

Musashi and Arjuna have been cursed by 'Soul of the Water Channels'! They have a -3% demerit for this round! This will stack with the current application of 'Soul of the Water Channels', meaning Musashi and Arjuna have -6%, and the others have -3%!

Final Score Augmentations:

Van Gogh: +41% Angra Mainyu: -40% Miyamoto Musashi: -29% Mandricardo: -36% Okada Izou: -36% Cu Chulainn: -21% Arjuna: -39%

Tumblr Holy Grail War: Wave 7 - Day 2 (Team Lancer, Team Archer, and Team Caster)

As always, an exciting fight served as the setting between Archer and Caster. Of course, the battle between Archer and Caster was the least of their Master's worries.

Fifty meters away from the main territory that occupied the space of the Grail War, a Servant was seen in the air. Clad in blue from head to toe, surrounded by burning magical energy.

"...Gae..."

"...Bolg!"

One. Ten. A hundred. A thousand. Uncountable spearheads from the cursed spear began raining down on Archer and Caster. No… not just Archer and Caster. Towards every Servant within the territory that had been created for this Holy Grail War that had so boldly thought to 'take a break' during the Holy Grail War. Though the brunt of it was focused on the Archer and Caster before him.

If the Caster dared to weaken his Territory Creation… then fine. He'd simply make it more of a problem.

In other words… well, if the rules of warfare were out of the question for a Holy Grail War-- then he'd just carpet bomb their 'arena'. After all, his Masters had given up three Command Spells for his sake. Of course, they were expecting the 'Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death'… but well, surprising them with the variant wasn't too bad, right? They had just asked for him to 'use his Noble Phantasm', after all.

Scrambling, Dante set his Shades to work as the sky turned red with Lancer's mana.

Dante: "…Shades! Caesar! Protect our Masters and the territory alongside me! Hector! Penthesilea! Focus on Arjuna!"

Arjuna: "So you put illusions before me once again, Dante! For one who judged me on my pride as a warrior, you seem to be quite the treacherous coward yourself!"

[ EVENT START: The spear of the legendary hero Cu Chulainn can also function as a deadly AoE Noble Phantasm! Archer and Caster are at the epicenter of the attack, but it's spread out far enough to hit Saber and Rider as well! Do your best to defend yourselves! ]

Cu Chulainn has used his Noble Phantasm! If he wins 1st place, Dante and Arjuna will sustain 2 wounds!

Dante is on his final wound! If he doesn't get 1st place, he'll die!

Cu Chulainn has [2] wounds! Arjuna is uninjured!

The 50% boost from Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm has been nullified by Territory Creation!

Arjuna has a -30% debuff on him from Dante's Noble Phantasm!

Territory Creation is active! Cu Chulainn and Arjuna's buffs are nullified!

Based on skills, augmentations to the final score are:

Cu Chulainn: +0% (due to Territory Creation)

Arjuna: -35%

Dante: +8%

Cu Chulainn: "Seems like I'm in. Glad to work with you all, I'm Lancer. Sorry for the spear rain. Felt like showing off a bit."

Izou: "Well, I didn't see it, but considering how spooked you've got everyone else, I'll take your word for it. Good workin' with ya."

Musashi: "Which just leaves Archer. I mean, we managed to convince your Masters, but… he seems a bit more on the stubborn side, and his Masters might want to still win the Grail."

Cu Chulainn: "I dunno. He's stiff, but probably not unreasonable. I'm sure we can convince him to help us out. Besides, he's powerful. You saw that bow of his firsthand, didn't you?"

Musashi: "I can't deny that... I mean, both you and him have divine blood, right?"

Cu Chulainn: "Eh, I guess so. But he loved to flaunt it, for sure."

Mandricardo: "…Then it seems like we're better off splitting up. Some of us go fight or try and recruit the others, some of us find clues."

Musashi: "Makes sense to me. Outside of that, our only other option is to just... kill the other Servants and see what happens when the Grail manifests. And that might not be for the best."

Izou: "...Got it, got it. I mean, feels like we've gotta kill the two new Servants regardless, but I'll hold my blade. Sound good to you guys, Masters?"

Welcome to Part 2 of the Tumblr Holy Grail War!

There are now 4 phases for each 'Wave'.

Starter Phase

Decision Phase

Encounter Phase

Prep Phase

You're currently in the 'Ready Phase'. As an allied team, this is where you decide who does what by voting!

The top two Servant results in the poll will be out and about, either finding new allies or fighting other Servants!

The latter two Servant results in the poll will go and investigate the Grail War! Watch out, because there's a chance that they may be attacked as well! Uncover clues about the Grail War while your allies are out fighting on the field!

(If additional Servants are added to an alliance, they'll simply be 'benched' for the round if they're in last place)

Investigating Servants won't have the full scope of their abilities, but that doesn't mean they're weak! Rather than the +2% bonus from being ambushed, they gain a special 'Investigation Skill' instead.

All 'Anti-Class' bonuses have been reset!

Vote here!

At the end of a Wave, all Servants decide whether they want to stay allied or not. Allied Servants are 'severed', becoming options for combat, and are unable to return to an alliance for 2 Waves.

Tumblr Holy Grail War: Wave 7 - Day 3 (Team Caster)

The territory was in ruins from Lancer's attack. Perfectly aimed, executed, and shattering the defenses even with Dante using the best of his ability to block the assault.

A deadly spear. A deadly strike.

"…Ah. So we lost. Well, that's simply how things are."

A voice of calm acceptance after a strained cough, as Dante slowly began to fade away. The Shades had already turned to dust as his concentration broke, leaving him as the only one left, a barbed spear lodged within his chest. It was truly painful, but he didn't dare to verbalize that sentiment. This wasn't a tragedy, after all. So, he simply spoke about matters otherwise.

"I never did truly have a wish for the Grail." He admitted, wryly. "It's an artifact that shouldn't be used by anyone except the Lord Himself. If it was real, I would have hidden it away. If it it was fake, and if I had won, you'd have needed to spend all the Command Spells you had to stop me and my Shades from destroying it. I suppose in some way, I was going to betray you from the beginning. I apologize."

For the first time, he truly laughed. It was unclear as to what. His foolish desire for the Grail… or perhaps thinking about what had occurred in the past few days.

He wasn't a warrior- a legendary hero like the others- he was simply a poet and a traveler. The fact that he had made this far was amazing enough to him- and of course, there was only one reason why he was able to last this long. He hoped that his gratefulness would carry in his tone.

"…Farewell, o' nonsensical Masters of mine. If you can honor my last request, ensure that this story remains a 'Commedia', and that the ending here is a happy one."

...And like a dream, he was gone. The Heroic Spirit Dante was no more in the story of this Holy Grail War.

There needed to be no words exchanged. A battle between warriors, just as a Holy Grail War entailed.

Saber, caught unawares. Lancer and Assassin, both present to eliminate the Saber Class Servant.

The threat of first blood permeated the air.

Izou is using his Noble Phantasm! If Izou wins, both Cu Chulainn and Musashi will take 2 wounds! Musashi will be eliminated!

If Musashi gains last place, even if Izou doesn't win, she'll sustain a wound and be eliminated!

Musashi was ambushed! Her abilities have been nullified, and she only gains +2%!

Musashi is on her final wound!

Cu Chulainn has [1] wound!

Izou has [1] wound!

Based on skills, augmentations to the final score are:

Musashi: +2%

Cu Chulainn: +7%

Okada Izou: +10%
