The wild-haired man holds his hand outward towards Oz, in a warning gesture. You can see a burn scar, a stylized (but unmistakable) symbol of an open eye, on his palm.
“Diggs? Yes, of course. Remember it now, I do.” His voice is still muted, almost a mutter; his gaze still unfixed. “Oscar Diggs...? Ha! Said my name, you did, but wrong it was. All wrong. Stuck is your tongue?“
Oscar starts as he sees the markings on himself, his mind whirling at the potential meanings and purpose. When the man holds up his hand, Oz freezes and speaks in a soft soothing tone. "Okaaay. Not Merlin. You don't have ta be him. What should I call you then?"

OOC > I missed a description of the location where we are doing the summoning, but I presume there are chairs?
Sarai settles into a chair out of the way, taking her jacket off and revealing that the blouse under it is sleeveless. She pulls her rifle out of the long duffel. It is ornate, covered in scrollwork, and looks oddly old, with a bolt action lever and a lot of brass fittings. She gathers her long but tightly curled hair back with a scrunchie, and begins clicking her tongue quietly as she cleans and checks the long gun, but she does it by feel, her eyes not leaving the summoning before her.
Edit: The duffel is not empty, however. There's something else in there, still Maybe that's the umbrella? It is London, after all.
She will look to Isaac, and ask, "How will we be traveling to Jerusalem? Commercial, private, or magical?"
Imani re-enters the room, her personal business apparently concluded. Noticing a chair in a small nearby alcove, she squints and causes a nearby lamp to light from 10 feet away. Okay, this isn't all bad, she thinks as she settles into her seat.
She will look to Isaac, and ask, "How will we be traveling to Jerusalem? Commercial, private, or magical?"
Shuffling himself away from the strange child, Isaac clears his throat, “The Mage’s Association has arranged for a private flight to take you to the site, which, speaking of, brings us to the topic of the other five masters.”

"The Grail...yes, of course. Fight, I will. Thank you for your candor." The wild-haired Caster sits and begins to eat some very old looking bread, which was sitting in his pocket.
"What do we know of the other Masters?" Sarai asks, sighting along her rifle.
"What she said," chimes Imani. Suddenly, a very bad thought bubbles up into her mind and Imani's stomach drops into her feet .
"Isaac," she says, speaking slowly. "You told us that the contest, this "war", would start after all of the servants had been summoned. Now that we've summoned ours, we could be attacked... anywhere, right? Starting right now?"
Everything the old twerp said has come true so far. Maybe everything is true. Maybe... Maybe this was a huge mistake, she thinks.
Sarai reassembles her rifle and stows it. The other item in the bag seems to be a... sword? "Our best plan of attack is to isolate the strongest of the other Masters, take them out with your combined power, before they get wind that the two of you are working together, no? Unless Lord Isaac... is this tactic of yours already known to them? Once the other Masters learn of this, they, too, will look to ally themselves with another, at least for the time being, and it will be more difficult to leverage this... arrangement. We should relocate to Jerusalem quickly."

“Not so. What I said was that the war would begin upon you entering the battlefield, Jerusalem. The Grail desires the slain servants to be close, so as to gain the most magic from their death.”

“Alliances are wholly unconventional in a Grail War. Many Masters are focused on obtaining the wish for themselves. Furthermore, mages are deceptive creatures, prone to betrayal in such cases. However, Ms. Passerida is correct, you should make your way to the site soon. Now please, follow me.“ He exits the basement summoning local.

Oz makes a face as he sees Caster bite into the disgusting bread. "Isaac! Our new friend... Caster, is hungry!" Me too, he thinks to himself. I could go for a burger.
“We will supply them on the trip, along with briefs on masters of this war. In the meantime, the Mage’s Association will provide a limited budget to see to the success of this endeavor.”
In short, before we get a move on, each of the non-Servant PCs may have a budget of 500 gp to either spend on supplies, or keep on them if they prefer. Additionally, each of you make select two Rare magic items to take along with you during the war. After that, we board the jet and begin... The True Holy Grail War!

Sarai takes her cash ($500 gp) and stows it about her self. "American, I assume. The British pound is a liability in these days of Brexit," she notes. She'll put her coat back on, check the hang of her pistol under it, put her small tactical pack on, and heft the long bag. "Can we be going? I am more than ready to shed this skin."

She flashes a wolfish grin. "And THEN you can take me to your Q."
As you do, Oz, you see your command seals resemble a 1, a 0, and another 1 in stylized interlocking pattern on the back of your hand.
