Imani shrugs and recounts what happened (in cagey but not deceptive terms). She explains that they traveled to the base on personal business and discovered it dark. One of their number entered and found a man covered in blood with no visible wounds (she suddenly recalls Teen Wolf and realizes that he must have had bite wounds that healed before Assassin found him). She then explains that they demonstrated incredible strength and a pack mentality, and that they barely escaped with their lives.
Then she gets just a little sneaky. Virgil is still invisible, and she asks Sarai to fill in any gaps she left. Imani then has the frog alight on Oz's shoulder and whisper softly in his ear (in her voice). "We might do well to curry the Church's favor. We should offer our services to help stop the wolves. Why don't you make the suggestion? I'll agree right away."
Mary purses her lips a bit, “I see, makes sense. You see, from what we have found, the Saber servant is responsible for these creatures. We have approached each of the Masters regarding this and each has agreed to a ceasefire until the problem is contained. However, the Rider servant and their Master have volunteered to face the Saber servant this evening. As I am sure that you’ve guessed, most in this war are not the... generous type. We would prefer to have your assistance in this matter. In exchange, we can offer one command seal for the one that successfully eliminates this menace. Three servants against one would spell certain victory.”
"As you can see, we are a team. Make it one command seal EACH and you can consider this problem solved." Oz finally let's his stored fire bolt dissipate.

Mary nods, “Of course. We can do so. I expect that you will find Rider to be quite amiable. Naturally, you understand, the reward will be provided upon the execution of Saber, and no sooner.”

Sarai nods her understanding of the terms. "Where is this to take place? Has Saber been located? Is the Master implicated? Is the Master forfeit? What can you tell us about Saber's manifestation? Besides the obvious."
Mary considers for a moment, “He has been located primarily West of here, to the old city. It is also to be the battleground. At this time of night, it should be all but abandoned. Unfortunately, we believe the Master May be complicit in such things. While this does not disqualify her, nor her servant, we request that the issue be removed by any means. As for his identity, I am afraid that we have no real information upon him, other than the obvious.”

"Thank you." Sarai turns to the others. "If this deal is acceptable, we should move out. Imani, I believe we should bring the fortress with us. Despite all the work done to it, Mary seems to have discovered it quite easily. If I could keep Virgil with me, I'd like to deploy as we did at the base."

"If what Mary says is true," Sarai cocks a luminescent yellow eye at the girl, "Then we could leave it, yes. Will your illusions not remain here if the tower is shrunk and moved? If not, then we should consider leaving it, yes."

After some discussion and clarification, Sarai nods. "Then the tower stays, and Oz and Caster come with us." She steps outside and sees the waiting catcar/airbus, and walks towards it, carrying her stuff. "When we get there, we should deploy as we did the first time, Imani and Oz under my shelter until we find the enemy, then each Master will be the purview of their Servant, while Virgil and I hunt Amani Baz. Sound fair? Other ideas?"

Imani stretches her arms overhead and grins wolfishly. Yeah, I'm definitely starting to get into this.
"After you, Ms. Sparrow. Virgil- you be a good invisible frog and stay close to Sarai." She walks out of the tower and her garb transforms once again to the driver's uniform. She holds open the passenger door for the others. "Ladies? Gentlemen?"
Sarai will enter the car, weirdly since she is wearing her Cloak now, hood up to shadow her avian features. She will sit by a window, roll it down, and keep her pistol out and in hand.

Actually, Sarai calls, “Shotgun!” then looks around. “Is that not what Americans do to secure the front passenger seat?” She takes the seat, rolls down the window, etc.
”Come to think of it, a shotgun would be handy,” she mutters.
It only takes a few minutes of reckless and wild driving to get to the rendezvous point that Mary pointed out to you. You’re still a few minutes out of the Old City before you sense a Servant. Imani skids to a halt. Sarai and Oz, with their absurd passive perception, are the first to notice his physical presence, as he is not trying to hide. Perched upon a lamppost, is a figure arrayed in gold armor and gaudy accessories. Underneath a helmet with two long, bright, orange feathers is scruffy red hair that cascades down into well-kept sideburns that frame his handsome face and piercing yellow eyes. More red, fur-like hair covers his forearms and the back of his hands. Meanwhile, various clothes of red and yellow cover him with a tiger-skin pelt around his waist. However, the most noticeable thing about him is the intricately designed wooden staff covered in hoops of fine gold. He currently has it resting on his shoulders as he squats on the point of the lamppost. He gives a little two-finger salute toward you all with a wide smile, “Evening. How’s everyone feeling?”
