Two characters in two days?!

[pink_dragon_spooker]

Pretty much what the topic said.

The Holy Grail War has acquired one more servant - an unusual choice for Caster, but certainly a fit if you focus on the name.

Meet Lina Inverse, a master at offensive magic - especially black magic. A fearful legend spoken of as "The Enemy of All Who Live" among many a village - some victims of her wrath (or, more likely, collateral damage from whatever was the actual victim of her wrath) a few centuries ago - but also a revered teacher of the art of arcane magic, she was a magician and adventurer that few indeed could match.

Now? She gets to lose all her self-selected pretty titles (that's bad), but also all the negative ones attached to her by others (that's good), in favor of a terribly generic name (that's bad) that represents her intense power and will (that's good). She doesn't have all her old friends (that's bad), but there's who knows how many new places to eat all over Dagaria (that's good)! She has to fight off six other generically-named people out to kill her (that's bad), but if she takes them all out she gets a wish (that's really good)!

So, for Caster, this whole thing's a wash.

Oh, and her summoner's Roy Mustang, by the way.

Yeah, uh... these two have to get in a fight at some point. IT WILL DEVASTATE A PROVINCE.

As if Lina Inverse wouldn't have enough reason to hate Xykon.

[nightskysword]

Yeah. He's got double normal treasure!

[pink_dragon_spooker]

Boring. That's just kinda common these days.

No, you want to be stylish? You get triple normal.

I'd have been able to make that joke if I hadn't actually gone and looked it up.

Clearly Caster will take special time out of her busy day to hunt triple-normal-treasure monsters, since they're still encounters of the same CR as single-normals.

Double-normals get some consideration.
