Sarai sighs and stands up, to pace over to the window, twitching the curtains to glance outside. Habit. "I should like some silver to be delivered suddenly, but barring that, I am not sure it is worth the effort. Surely the combined might of greedy Masters, present company excepted, will be enough to bring the curs to heel. In the meantime, I am interested... concerned, that there are so many pings near us... unless they are us?" She looks at the two Servants. "Are they the extra-planar beings you have detected?"

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
"What about myself? Am I one of your pings? If not, that is likely to mean the werewolves may also not be discovered. They may be the same sort of creature as I, or at least the patient zero Werewolf could be."
"So, two Masters, one Servant, and a rogue radio signal?" Sarai starts to reflexively clean her guns, taking over the small table meant for telephones and room service menus.
"It seems we should leave the Grail participants alone until after the truce, perhaps you can investigate the radio signal? I should like to see a few people about an upgrade," she says as she sights along the barrel with one golden eye.

Sarai will make sure everyone has her phone number. "I will be back, let me know how your investigation goes. Be sure to mute your phones if you don't want them to ring." Then she transforms into a sparrow, along with all of her equipment, and flutters to the window, where she makes chirping noises until someone opens it, because she forgot to do that.
Edit: Before she goes, she also says, "I have some business in the bazaar area, where your 'radar' noted a wielder of magic, Oz. I will check it out."
With that, assuming that someone opens the window, Sarai flies off to do some recon. Once again, with the short rest, it is roughly 7 AM.
Meanwhile, at the window, a piece of paper seems to catch on the outside of the window. As it billows in the wind, it seems to be an exceptionally fine, hand-written letter that was carried by the wind. On it is as follows, “Masters of the Jerusalem Holy Grail War, Good Morning. Recent events have made clear that the integrity of this Holy Grail War has been put at risk by the Master of Berserker, Redford Briarwood, and his servant. Miles out from the city, an entire military base has been converted into werewolves due to the abilities of either Briarwood or Berserker. Not only is this a threat to the war, but to humanity itself. Therefore, as the official overseer of this war, I am issuing an official ceasefire until the destruction of the Berserker servant. All hostility is to cease and any that cooperate in this endeavor will receive a single Command Seal. Any that violate this ceasefire will be included in this elimination order. ~ Faithfully, Father Alexi Popov.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Imani smirks. "Deja vu, huh? Anyone else getting tired of being jerked around every few hours?" She scrutinizes the letter, looking for anything that could be of use (was it created by magic or handwritten? Is there any reason to suspect that they're being tricked again? Insight: 10). "Father Poptart sounds like a real class act, by the way. 'Please stop killing each other and just kill this one guy'. Let's take Oz's lead and see what we can find. Virgil," she turns to the toad (who I would very much like to salute in response), "head after Sarai- let me know where she is and whether she needs help."
"A phone would let you talk to the others fairly easily at a distance. If you're a good boy, Daddy might buy you something nice." (OOC: What happened to that extra phone I got when I bought the drone? If I still have it, add the following.) "In fact..." Oz rummages through his bag and pulls out a spare flip phone and tosses it to Caster after taking a few moments to activate it. "There ya go."
"Me or my drone needs to get closer to that radio signal so I can hack into it." Oz examines his drone to estimate battery life and maximum distance. He then looks back at the map to see how far away the signal is.
I’d say your maximum distance on the drone is about half a mile, as it’s a somewhat older model. The signal itself is on the edge of the mile radius of your spell, however, that does not seem to be the origin point. That point seems to be out of your range in the lower parts of the city.
Imani offers up a boy scout salute to Oz as she saunters out of the room. "Don't disappoint us, boys. Grab your fake ID, Dream. We're hitting the bars"
"See ya." Oz waits silently until he's sure she's gone. "Now let's find us a real car." He opens his lap top and begins looking for vehicles. *He casts find vehicle as a ritual.* He then grabs his bag, shoves his laptop inside it, and excitedly runs out the door to find his found vehicle. He beckons for Caster to follow.

Is Sarai included in one of the blips?

OOC > They are Fey, actually, but I wasn't sure if that counted in your world, so I kept quiet.

So, to recap. 2 Fey, both are you. 4 Mages, 2 are you. 3 Servants, 2 are you. Finally, 1 Radio Signal. All in one mile.

Virgil salutes and, with a poof, assumes his pidgeon form. With that, he spreads his wings and takes off after the sparrow. And we will get to that...

You do indeed have the phone.

On the way, he calls Oz's phone with his.
