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.

Saber - Artoria Pendragon


Artoria was about to open her mouth, to firmly state she was not looking dejected, nor impatient at all. Such things were unbecoming for her, as a knight. Certainly, she wanted the food to arrive quickly, but at the same time, acting in such a manner was inappropriate.

... Not that it changed the fact that she had, indeed, been acting impatient.

But before she could say anything, their burgers arrived. Immediately, the scent of the Triple Imperial(which did not in fact have three patties, but instead was described as being almost like three patties in one) was richer then other burgers offered by the by the establishment. There was also a distinct salty, but not unpleasant hint of fish... and when she took a bite...

The flavor was rich, with strong hints of spices and a definite taste of a savory, salty fish-based sauce. But it was hardly unpleasant, the preparation was quite excellent and the flavor was rather unique. Indeed, it was clear to the knight why such a burger would be sold at this establishment, and she was certainly intent on finishing the entire meal.

But that could not come to pass.

The lighthearted mood was shattered when an explosion rocked the kitchen, tossing injured bodies into the air. In a single motion, the Saber had placed her meal back onto the plate and risen to her feet, golden light rising from her body, her clothing seeming to vanish in a flash to be replaced with gleaming silver armor, over a blue, white, and gold dress.

In her hand she gripped what, to observers, an indefinable hazy shape, her blade cloaked in Invisible Air.

Her demeanor, from simply taking in the flavor of her meal to deadly serious, had shifted in an instant.

The people working in the kitchen had merely been performing their job. The patrons of this restaurant merely enjoying their food. And in an instant they had been brutally attacked.

This would not stand.

"Master," Artoria began, turning to face the sight of the explosion fully as she placed both hands on her sword's hilt, "I cannot permit this attack."

The 'whys' of what had occurred could wait. For now, what mattered was the safety of the people in the restaurant. It appeared as if the blast had targeted a tan-skinned Servant with a great shield and spear and her somewhat brutish-looking Master.

The Saber's eyes narrowed. While she wished to defend her Master, she could not stand idly by while people suffered and potentially died.

"I must intervene!"

With that, she crossed the room in an instant. Her first action was to grip a chunk of rubble in one hand and lift it off of a fallen employee, a young man who had been working the counter, with little effort. In a moment she had pulled him from the wreckage, noting he was still breathing, and placed him out of harm's way before returning to the site of the explosion. While moving the injured from harm's way was important, so to was identifying the attacker.

Whom the tanned Lancer and her Master seemed to have some awareness of.

"Who is the attacker?" she asked, sternly, glancing towards the two of them.

Tsugihara Runa


"Wh-"

Her ears were ringing. While she wasn't close enough to the explosion to be harmed by it, the blast had still been loud enough to start her ears ringing, to nearly knock her out of her seat.

But she was a magus of the Tsugihara family, and this was not about to keep her down.

Runa assessed the situation, noting that several of the people in the restaurant, most of the employees and several patrons, had been injured in the explosion.

"Saber, can you locate the perpetrator? They can't be far!" asserted the magus as she glanced at her Servant. With her Saber's agility and sharp eyes, she felt certain it was possible.

As for the people who had been caught in the blast... getting them out of the way would be the best option. It wasn't as if Runa cared much for these strangers, no way! The only reason was, well, they could get hurt worse if more fighting broke out or their injuries were untended...

...

Drawing a paper slip from her bag, she raised it into the air and allowed it to fizzle away in a flash of light, the ethereal form of a fox materializing in its wake.

"Akane, start getting them to safety," she ordered the fox, which sprang through the air immediately to begin pulling the nearest victim of the explosion away from immediate danger.

Mihama Nanako


"Aaaah..."

Meltryllis's tongue was sharp as ever.

"Er, well... I'll go see what I have in the fridge, maybe making breakfast myself would be a good idea..."

Nanako rose to her feet, stretching. Aah, she felt way less sore now. It was almost entirely gone... she probably shouldn't strain it, but that didn't mean she shouldn't take advantage of the fact she could actually move her arm properly now.

"Haah... I'll try and get something together for breakfast and then take a shower..."

Does anyone need any help posting?
It was a fine summer's day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there were people out on the streets doing all kinds of things. From children playing to adults carrying out their daily work, the city of Venne was a bustle of activity. After all, there was no way anyone would ignore the opportunity to take advantage of such wonderful weather. At least for the most part.

And the adventurers of the guild were no exception to this fact. The Guild hall, too, was surrounded by activity. Citizens of Venne were busy submitting jobs for the guild, ranging from simple low-level pest control to bandit hunts, to clearing a location of goblins. There were all kinds of jobs ready for any adventurer of any level. There was even a request to persuade a dragon to stop harassing Dansbell, though it was difficult to tell how serious it was based on how it was written.

Inside the guild hall there was no small amount of activity, as well. Adventurers of all sorts, ranging from the lowest ranks to the highest, were purchasing food or drink, registering bounties, trying to find a party to tackle whatever jobs they were taking on. The guild staff behind the counter, in charge of handling administrative duties for the adventurers, certainly had their job cut out for them on a busy day like this.

Precisely why the guild was so busy today wasn't exactly clear, but maybe a lot of problems for a lot of people had simply gotten out of hand at the same time.

The entrance hall of the guild was wide, with a high arched ceiling supported by wooden beams and connected to the entrance by a narrower, shorter hall. On the far end was the counter for registering quests and opposite it a small tavern, equipped to serve adventurers with food and drink.

The board displaying various job requests was on the right side of the guild hall, and was currently a rather crowded place due to the sheer volume of requests coming in. Certainly adventurers were rarely without a job, but this seemed a bit extreme for a day that didn't seem particularly different from any other.

Still, that was hardly bad news, now was it? Plenty of jobs meant plenty of options for plenty of adventurers.

The girls behind the registration counter were certainly being kept busy. There were a few notable sights as well, in particular the slender, somewhat short, blonde-haired figure of what was the guild's only high elf adventurer(as far as anyone knew) taking a job to the counter and leaving in short order the moment that she was approved for it.

Certainly, it was a busy day.

@Zoey Boey: No problem!

To everyone else who has been accepted: I'm probably starting the RP tomorrow, so look forward to it!
@Zoey Boey: I think you're good now. Accepted.
@Lucius Cypher: Sorry, limited slots meant I had to choose someone.

@Zoey Boey: I'd try cutting her to her more divine magic-based offense. Keep her sword and her capabilities in that regard and focus on it. That, and her charisma since that's suitable for a paladin.
@Zoey Boey: I think this is my pick for the final slot, but I think you need to narrow down the ability set a little bit. Divine strength, for example, isn't inherently part of a paladin's abilities.

@Pyromania99: Accepted.

To everyone else, sorry if you didn't make it in. But since I only had two slots remaining, I had to be really choosey about who I accepted. Pyromania99 had already been discussing their character idea with me, so the final slot basically took me the whole day to decide who I felt suited the RP best.
@Lucius Cypher: Hmmm, since we have an approved Nem character now I'd really prefer if he wasn't one, since with one party it'd be unusual to have more then one non-human.

@Darner: I don't see any issues here, accepted.

@Zoey Boey: Glad to help! I'm happy to answer any lore questions people might have.
@Zoey Boey: Okay so in terms of a strict lifestyle, naturally moderation is enforced in indulgent things like alcohol. Technically getting a little too hammered isn't going to get your position taken away or something, but it's not going to be looked upon that fondly. So basically a party animal type could be a paladin, it's just their behavior would be treated as on the uncouth side.

As you'd expect, serving justice, protecting the weak, all that kind of stuff is part of being a paladin. Specific to Reonite paladins is the fact they're always going to be more geared for more aggressive conduct, though of course there's not a hard line where only Reonite paladins destroy the wicked and only Mayonite paladins protect the weak, it's just the former are usually best equipped for more aggressive actions and the latter are usually best equipped for more defensive actions.

Reonite paladins have the mark of Reon(the Fleur di Lys) somewhere on their body, it's up to the individual paladin where. They're also likely to carry lillies on their person for sacrifice during prayer. Under both Reon and Mayon, undeath is an abomination(barring circumstances where the undead retains their mind and free will, but it's still not exactly treated fondly) and mindless or wicked undead are to be exterminated whenever they are discovered without mercy. To this end, most necromancy is also considered an abomination and those who conduct it should be given a chance to repent, but will face death if they reject this opportunity.

There's some other fairly obvious stuff, like never attacking the defenseless, that kind of thing. Paladins are also part of the clergy and thus can act in the capacity any similar members of said clergy. This means officiating weddings, that kind of thing.

Exorcism rites, purging evil, all these sorts of things are to be expected from a paladin. As for specific magic, Reonite paladins have access to Divine Solar Fire, be it spells or an enchantment on a weapon. This is especially good at destroying undead and purging evil entities.

Let's see... oh right, paladins also tend to perform prayers for the recently dead(as long you know, they're not the enemy since stopping to pray for them seems a bit counterintuitive). These involve praying to the Lamplighters for safe passage, the Lamplighters being the Reonite/Mayonite psychopomp. They're young girls with tall hats who carry long staffs tipped with a lamp, said to guide the spirits of the dead to the afterlife. There's a holiday tied to them as well which is most comparable to Halloween.

Everyone else, I'll get to you in a little bit, sorry for the wait. ^^;
