[k] @Beowulf Sure are. I'm told they were taken captive. [k] @Beowulf They could've handled themselves just fine, of course, but Atalante gave herself up when the enemy took some kids hostage. [k] [charaFace A 12] @Mash That...does sound like her. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Beowulf Right? [k] [charaFace E 0] @Beowulf And Salieri probably followed her lead.

[k] @Holmes If they succeeded at capturing[sr]a Servant as strong as Ms. Atalante... [k] @Holmes ...then surely, they must have taken her back to the capital, no? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Beowulf You'd think so, but it doesn't look that way. I had some Yaga tail them, and they told me they actually bypassed the capital and brought the captives somewhere else: [k] @Beowulf An old fortress they turned into a prison. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 6] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Holmes Hmm. Well, fortunately we won't need to infiltrate the capital to rescue them...but why would they avoid the capital to begin with? [k] @Holmes (...Perhaps they're concerned about Ivan the Terrible being assassinated? But no, if that were the case, they would have executed them right away.) [k] [charaFace G 4] @Holmes (Atalante and Salieri are both Servants powerful enough that they need to be heavily guarded at all times...) [k] @Holmes (Why would the enemy go so far as to build a prison just to keep them away from the capital?) [k] @Holmes (...Could it be...because of who else is in the capital...?)

[k] @Patxi Y-yeah, that's right. [k] @Holmes What were things like there?[sr]Were the Yaga afraid of Ivan the Terrible? [k] @Patxi ...No, it didn't look like it. I didn't hear a single one bad-mouthing the Tsar when I was there. [k] @Patxi I don't blame them, seeing how they live way better off than we do in the frontier. Not to mention all the Oprichniki everywhere they go. [k] [charaFace G 6] @Holmes Then, can you tell me if they appeared to be living in fear of the Oprichniki, or if they seemed to genuinely love and respect the Tsar?
