DigitlNinja: Current time: 11:30<br/>Some time passes as you and Caster discuss your strategy, which remains unchanged.  Afterwards, he goes about setting up "Territory Creation" around the household. NOW it's about as secure as an American Military base. By the time everything is done and said, it's 11:30 in the morning.  At which point Defender walks up. "Vincent, one of my familiars has spotted something you may find interesting.  It would appear a group of people is investigating the site of our last battle.  According to him, there are 3 girls of various ages one woman and two men.  Saber says he knows one of them very well, and that he is most definitely a servant....wait...somethings not right.  My familiar has fled the area, something is terrifying it."<br/>Moments later, you feel a wave of despair, anger, and hatred, pass through the air. A tangible feeling of malice permeates the air, as if belched from a factory.<br/>----------------------------------------------------<br/>Undercover: Current time: 11:30<br/>Your group arrives at the site of one of last nights battles.  The hair on the back of your neck stands up almost immediately.  The servants immediately chorale their masters behind them and take up a defensive posture. Your group also feels the same wave of despair that affected Vincents group elsewhere. You can taste the danger in the air, it's almost overwhelming in intensity.  "Riley. I'm confident we can take Berserker, but just in case, if something happens to me, will you promise to take care of my master?"<br/>"How do you know it's Berserker," Sophie demands.<br/>"I know many things of this war. Plus I met this servant last night. I recognize this negative aura," Saber replies, clearly not in the mood to explain more. Sabers master seems confused about her reply but says nothing, as is his fashion.<br/>"Anyway, do you promise to look after him?"<br/>---------------------------------------------<br/>Cmpuncle: Time: roughly 12:30 one hour in the future.<br/>Salem smiles, an expression with just a hint of warmth in it.<br/>"So my hunch was right.  Then our goals aren't all that different.  While you are absolutely right, not all vampires are evil, there are many who are.  The church serves a vital function, protecting humanity from paranormal creatures that would harm them, but our doctrine is too extreme.  We even hunt magii. I used to be a top-notch magus hunter, until I discovered I too am a magus..." She pauses for a moment, deciding if she really wants to tell you more, before continuing, "The church got into a conflict with my original family over a holy relic. Eventually, they decided to take it by force and killed them.  My family saved me by embedding the artifact in me, which the church can't remove without killing me and tainting it in the process. I was a baby at the time, so I had little choice in the matter. The church decided to take me in and raise me to be a hunter, in the hopes that if I died in the field they could remove the artifact without tainting it. As it is, the artifact is slowly killing me so one way or the other they'll get it. If it weren't for Saber and my special weapon, I'd already be dead. Anyway, I'd be willing to help you accomplish your dream, but I can't do anything till Luciano is out of the picture."<br/><br/>
