Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail
✅ Singularity 5 (Archived) / 〚❄｜snow-barrier
When Medea approaches the invisible border separating the snow and the green hills of Germania's northern lands, Scathach Lily's small frame materializes near her.
"You're a powerful mage."
She impassively assesses the Caster's magical talent.
"Can you tell what this is?"

After taking a closer look to find this Bounded Field's weak point, Medea can attain some of its nature. Rather than a Bounded Field that creates snow, it's one that contains it. It's a fragile protective spell that could easily break from her interference.

Scathach watches Medea's long monologue about questions and answers impassively. To her, it's not that complicated, but that's just how she is.
"Okay. I can mark Thrym's location down for you. I can't say if it's stayed the same, but I doubt he's moved elsewhere."
As if that answer clears everything up, Scathach watches Medea take her notes.
@Grim)
"They can't be taken lightly. As for weaknesses..."
Scathach thinks for a moment.
"They're strong, but they don't have their god slaying abilities. It's not a real weakness, but at least any Divine Spirits under Chaldea's command won't be under greater threat."
"Other than that, they're very simple-minded. The giants of Norse mythology have varying intelligence, but most of them are.. stupid."
@Grim)Scathach's face darkens.
"Thrym is dangerous. The grail has made his control over ice absolute. But even without that, he wields a demonic axe that should have no place here. My knowledge on his mythology is limited, but I'm certain he never had something like it in his lifetime."
@Grim)"No. His class container is Avenger. I think Thrym himself has some qualifications for it, but I doubt he could be summoned as a Servant. It would have to be because of his circumstances."
@Grim) (edited)"For one, there's that demonic axe he has. Then there's the fact that his appearance is strange. No, strange is not the right word. I just wouldn't think the king of the giants to look like that."
@Grim)"Whatever it is, it's just as dangerous as Thrym himself."
@Grim)"If things were different, I might have been able to guide you through, but after we defeated Alter Ego, the giants have been putting all of their forces into defending the paths north."
"Now that I no longer have protection from the blizzard, I'm as lost as you are."
@Grim)"Yes, it's quite difficult."
Scathach hasn't talked this much in a long time. Medea is really wringing her out.
"Thrym lives inside his halls underground. He found a resource north that proved to be very potent in mana. The humans he enthralls work in a mining system for him, and its connected to his halls."
"But you mustn't fight him there. Whatever you choose to do, you mustn't fight him in his own halls. That's a mistake we,.. I already made once."
@Grim)Scathach turns to the Master that's just been silently observing the Bounded Field.
"..It's very stable. If you were able to get your hands on it, I'm certain you could use it as a resource."
Scathach takes a few steps back from the barrier.
"Sabotage might be possible too, but.. reaching the mines would be difficult too."
@Tyonis Shiki"It does. The last I know, the mines go about a mile deep."
Scathach hums, thinking about what the Master is implying.
"Yes, that idea is not bad. Still, something like that will take preparation too. The mines are made of freezing ice that will kill any normal human."
@Tyonis Shiki29
23 "..Goodbye."
Before Scathach could even ask for her name, she was gone again.
"..."After the monsters beneath the lake and the ice phoenix were defeated, the group could return to the base, Tao barely surviving the harsh blizzard.
