Undercover:<br/>Lancer mulls over this new information before speaking. "Well, that will have to do.  Ideally, we servants prefer our masters not get involved in battle. The only time you'd need to rely on your skills is if an enemy servant or master were to attack you, in which case it would be my job to defeat them before harm could come to you. In any case, you may still have to defend yourself, so I'd like to hone your skills as soon as possible. While it is understood that battles are not supposed to happen until after the final servant has been summoned, that does not mean a less honorable servant or master will abide by that rule."<br/>Lancer looks around, as if to sense where other servants might be, even though as a Lancer, he lacks that ability.  "As for me, I have some unusual skills for a Lancer. Normally I would have been summoned as a Saber or Berserker, but this time around, I'm a Lancer. "<br/>Lancer then proceeds to tell you of his special abilities<br/>----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Digitalninja:<br/>Your command seals have appeared at this point, and you can sense a faint power from within the item you are using as a catalyst. Because of the unusual nature of your servant, special means were needed to obtain this item for this ritual.  While countless copies of this item exist, only this one could possibly serve as the catalyst you need for the servant you have chosen. However, other forces are at work enabling you to summon this particular servant, forces which you have no knowledge of at the moment.<br/>-------------------------------------<br/>Cmpuncle:<br/>The clerk begins ringing up your chosen items, seemingly thankful for the break in the monotony.  As you ask your question, a thoughtful look crosses his face. "you know, I've been wondering that myself.  The police scanner has been oddly quiet today, yet there was that explosion like sound nearby.  Not only that, but there were those weirdo's all dressed up like priests about an hour ago.  One of the local thugs came in here about half an hour ago and bought up a whole bunch of stuff. Said he was going to be busy in some sort of battle and wanted to be well stocked up for the next two weeks.  I had no clue what he was talking about, but I guess the gangs are going to start vying for territory or somethin.  I don't know about you, but I'm going to be carrying around my gun, just in case." He finishes ringing up your items, then looks at you suspiciously. "You wouldn't happen to represent, would you?"<br/>(please roll a d20 and post it in your response)
