Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

roleplayerguild.com/posts/5… If anyone's up for fighting some kaiju, why not try out my new RP, Godzilla: YATAGARUSU?

Of course, the excitement of seeing Darth Vader was soon tempered by the fact that Darth Vader is a villain, and that a long mocking tirade from someone who was, judging by what she was hearing, probably a villain as well was bound to lead to a serious fight. For a moment, D.Va was surprised when she felt a sudden pressure on her throat, the air no longer entering her lungs... but, of course, she'd seen the movies. Darth Vader's force choke was really pretty difficult to forget about. And unlike the victims in the movies(and the numerous games where you got force powers), D.Va had more then enough ways to immediately fight back. Even as she was beginning to choke, she knew that just struggling helplessly wouldn't help now!

As Reinhardt began to charge, D.Va slammed her thumbs down and opened fire, the characteristic sound of her guns echoing loudly through the streets as the clusters of teal bullets tore towards the Sith Lord. She tried to keep her aim out of Reinhardt's path, but it was admittedly difficult when she was being choked. Still, something was bound to make Vader stop choking, be it a forced dodge, Reinhardt's impact, or her guns firing! Something, before it got too hard to breath!

Er... I had a problem too but didn't think it was worth saying it in the middle of the OOC, especially since it was being handled?

I was talking with Rain beforehand.
I'll be honest, when someone says "scoundrel" I think more of the Han Solo type then someone who murdered their mentor and ally just because an evil object asked them to and felt no remorse afterwards.

This is the bigger problem I had with the character: It's a (formerly, still has religious ties)holy knight order. Darker backstory is one thing, remorseless murder is another.
Shrieking tentacles burned and fell away, even as more came to try and take their place, the burning cedar eventually falling to the ground after many of the tendrils were left to dissipate into black smoke. And still they wound themselves into drills, preparing to strike at Copenhagen Star.... Until the magical girl made her response. That ball of twisting, warping darkness, distorting the world around it as it fired and tore towards the tentacles that were making to strike her once more... as it passed, they all twisted towards it and were ripped apart, billowing out into black smoke. In a single blow, every tentacle on that side of the Negari was destroyed.

The remaining tentacles immediately moved in a bit to compensate for so many losses, but were suddenly encased in ice. The blobby creature let out a shriek of what some could almost call frustration, if Negari were even capable of feeling such things.

Akane heard one of the girls, and she could see where the knives had hit. The Ripper had shown them a weakness, and now... Now she had to do everything she could to get there! The Negari was stunned, most of its tentacles lost and the rest frozen! This was her chance! Taking a deep breath and crouching low, the dragon knight magical girl tensed and then leapt, careening into the air. Her armored boots let out an unpleasant squishy sound as they hit the shrieking creature, but thankfully she didn't sink into it. Flames blazed across Dragon Edge once more as she sprinted to the first knife and drove the thick sword directly into the Negari's flesh!

The creature let out a piercing screech as the flaming blade hissed through it, Akane letting out a cry of her own as she sprinted across the monster's body and burned her way through its frame. By the time she had reached the other knife, she had cut the Negari entirely open across its back!

The Negari let out one final scream before a strange, starry, black-and-white fluid poured from it with the black smoke. With it came the humans trapped inside, flooding out, still unconscious as they rolled down the sides of the deflating creature. Akane lost her balance and tumbled off to the right with a yelp of surprise.

Soon enough, the Negari's insides had emptied, leaving a limp sack that was slowly dissipating into nothing but black smoke.
@Lord Szall: Okay one big problem here is the way demons work has been extensively discussed and that's not really how they work. ^^;
Unlike previous combatants, the bandits were quite unwilling to fight when they realized just who had come for them.

"Kill the ones inside and go!" shouted one of them, even as many of his comrades fell dead from the Iron Roses' defense of the carriage. The bandits at the door of the carriage were rather quick to open the door, one hand coming to the handle.

He was answered by a blade going through his chest, piercing the wood from inside the carriage. It was a long, heavy sword, and it withdrew from the bandit's body only after impaling him entirely. He fell to the ground limply, and the men behind him looked on in fear.

Fanilly, who had now met the bandits in combat herself and dismounted one of them with a sword through the chest, looked up in time to see the carriage door open.

The figure that stepped out was a striking one. Tall, the characteristic shape of of the normally two-handed sword known as a Zweihander gripped in one hand. They were clad entirely in pitch-black body concealing armor, their head too covered by a helmet. Perhaps some among the knights would realize they had heard a similar description recently, and acknowledge what a strange coincidence this was. But at the moment the tall black knight simply descended on the panicked bandits near the carriage with a vengeance, cleaving one of them entirely in two.

The rest were rather quick to flee, or die at the hands of either the Iron Roses or the Black Knight.

Once the short skirmish was over, Fanilly dismounted, allowing herself to think and focus beyond the short battle. Such a tall, black knight, they reminded her of Tyaethe in a way. Though Tyaethe was an even more striking(and in a way confusing) figure. They said nothing, and did not move from a position near the carriage, their Zweihander resting on their shoulder now.
There's runes that restore your health, but not by draining it from those you kill. It's more like an "invigorated by battle" thing as I recall.
@Wraithblade6: Um, having played the game it's not health drain.

You use it to restore your arrows, as I recall. ^^; It... can kill I... think but you're not draining health to heal.
"I don't think that will be necessary. Given the circumstances, the time since the item was stolen, and the size of the item, it's likely they haven't left the local area," Toshiko replied. Before she hadn't been so certain, but even the phantom thieves were unlikely to be able to take an object that large particularly far this quickly. And to be frank, she expected that they were being paid, or perhaps extorted, to steal this item. It was after all out of the realm of their usual operations. "It means our next move is to attempt to locate them. If I'm correct, it might be possible to scry their location."

She paused for a moment.

"Not by looking for the vase, but by using that scrap of ofuda."
I'll be posting here tomorrow, I've waited long enough for everyone to post I think. ^^;
