Rider nods, “That’s right. I do not know much of him, as he have not faced each other one on one. However, from what I have seen, he is a cruel man. He holds a deceptive calm to him and, as his class denotes, he has a sword of incredible strength. From the limited use of it I’ve seen, it’s a divine construct that seems to burn anything that it touches to cinders.” Rider shrugs, “Other than that, that’s all I’ve got.”

Sarai is thinking, then she nods. "You, Monkey King, are the Servant of the Church, and so Saber and his Master will be expecting you to come for them. You are the bait. He is arrogant enough to believe he can best you, his Master naive enough to believe him. We should pick the battlefield, then lure them in." She looks about, evaluating the area. "This seems fine. Shall we set up?"
"This seems too exposed. We should move further into the old city, then set up."
Rider smiles, strolls over to the cat car, and places his hand on the hood. The car seems to purr under his touch, “Well, you all are in luck that the Great Sage has taken a liking to most of you, because I know where to find Saber.” Rider points to the summit of the Temple Mount, “He has taken residence in the temple, that’s where we can find him.”

Sarai snorts, which is hard to do as a bird. "Oh yes, or perhaps that's what they want us to think they want us to think!" She sighs. "I very much do not want to beard the wolf in his lair."

Rider huffs, “Naturally, but you forget two things.” Rider holds up a finger, “One, they don’t expect us to be working together.” He holds up a second, “And two, we have the numbers advantage in addition to our surprise.” Rider shrugs, “Then again, if any of us were to amplify our presence this close, Saber would likely come to meet us, though others may as well.”

"Zzz..."Assassin is sleeping under the lamppost. She has appeared out of nowhere, but the gang is used to this. She kept sleeping as everyone talked, but suddenly her nose bubble pops and she sits up. "Ohh sorry... my name is Dream, Mr. Monkey King... I'm good at... sleepy."She smiles mischievously.
With regards to the discussion about what to do now, Assassin responds, "Saber in the temple, but... wouldn't it be easier to take down the Master? Saber... we all know how strong they are... our own masters might not survive. Speaking of... where is your's?" She does Monkey King a peek with one open eye and looks dead serious.

Rider eyes you up, “She has asked me to not answer that question. I don’t have the Independent Action skill, so she’s ‘around.’ She likes to keep her cards close to her chest, I’m sure that you understand.” He shrugs once more, “But, if you’d like to try to assassinate the Master, you are more than welcome. I won’t tell you how to do your job.”
Rider cocks an eyebrow, “Deceit has its merits. While not my favorite method of winning a fight, I’m not opposed to it either.” Rider gives a toothy grin.

“Says the man in a war for a cup. Nevertheless, I admire your scruples. My only vested interest in this is the death of Saber. With that in mind, I’m tired of going in circles.” Rider removes his hand from the car and walks over to an open spot in the road, “I’m heading up, catch up if you want. I really don’t care.” With that, Rider clicks his heels together. As he does, the clouds overhead build and swirl as a traditional Chinese chariot, adorned in various engravings of jade clouds set in rich, fine wood appears. Pulling it are two horses that seem to be fashioned from the very clouds themselves. He hops in and sits cross-legged while giving you a two finger salute, “Ciao.” With a crack of thunder, the chariot races off into the heavens toward the top of the mount.

Oz climbs back into the car as well. "Don't put yourselves in too much danger. Let His Grace take the lumps whenever possible. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer saber to use all her mana taking out rider so then we can come in and mop up after. Two birds, one stone, ya know?"
"This invite went to all the masters? Can we expect to see other servants tonight?" This he asks Sarai.
Sarai makes a low trill. “The Church was notified, but I do not expect they sent a wide call. The Whistle of Nara, Monkey’s Master, is the Church’s champion, I would expect he is the only one other than us.”
She pauses. “Remember, we are under truce until Saber is dealt with.”
