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.

@1Charak2 has informed me she probably won't be posting again, so I'm going to move ahead with that in mind.
I'll be updating Saturday at the latest.
@1Charak2@Martian: I'd like to update before the end of the week, to avoid too much schedule slipping, so please try and post before then.
"Hold off the spearman!" Nobunaga called to her ally, before focusing her attention on the archer. There was no time to be spared focusing on the man she had rendered armless, given he was likely going into shock and unable to do much now. The bloodloss could potentially kill him before the others were dispatched.

While honor and dignity certainly had their place, even in battle, this was an ambush and attempt at assassination by unscrupulous traitors. Therefore, there were no measures Nobunaga would ignore in regards to preserving the village elder's life.

The petite black-haired girl departed from the downed hunter's side as she broke into a sprint towards the archer. Of course, this would ordinarily prove to be a far less advantageous position. All the archer need do is adjust his aim, and though she was a small target she would still be in immediate danger.

But if he missed...

When she was as close as she could manage, Nobunaga buried the tip of her katana in the snow and swung upwards, sweeping a cloud of powdery white into the air towards the archer to obscure his vision and, hopefully, briefly stun him. With that, she immediately drew her blade back and thrust right for the throat...!

As Sefira very reluctantly placed her hands on Kokoma's waist, trying to do everything she could to avoid touching the other girl in any place that was even more awkward then that, a distinct feeling of dread welled up within her. As if she had indeed let slip something that was going to make her future considerably more awkward and embarrassing then it would have otherwise. As if Kokoma had caught what she'd nearly let spill.

For a few moments, all she could do is dwell on that possibility, and all this girl knowing that could entail.

But there were more pressing matters at hand. The monster attack on the city would never have happened back when Emerald Odyssey was a game. It was an immediate and obvious rule change. Was it simply a result of the game now becoming reality? Or was there something more going on here? Could it even be tied to the reason she and likely many others had now become their characters in the game's world? For that matter, the NPCs she passed by were hiding, some checking on the injured, others arming themselves and looking skywards to make sure no more monsters were approaching...

It was nothing like the NPCs of the game, which were more like background scenery or stood around in one place until they played their part in a given quest.

It stood to reason that if the rest of the world was real, so too were the people who lived in it. There were considerably more as well...

Thinking about these changes helped keep her mind off of the fact her slender legs felt sore from riding the beast, and that she was still holding onto a girl's waist this whole time.

Sefira took a deep breath.

"I'm guessing you got here the same way?" she asked Kokoma, "You tried to log in after the new expansion dropped, and then there was a bright flash of light? Hmph, what kind of stupid isekai setup is this...?"

@Rune_Alchemist, @Pyromania99: Hellooooooo?
This girl seriously didn't take a single thing seriously, did she?

Still... her spell had really worked. Only one of the harpies had gotten away. Sefira couldn't help but be proud of the fact she'd actually executed one of her spells.

Only now it was real.

Maybe that was a silver lining? She was physically a completely different person, but she was also capable of doing magic.

Seeing one of the other player's beasts suddenly charge up and nearly in real life was a bit of a shock, too, and the petite elf found herself reflexively clutching her staff in both hands, tensing for a few moments as she leaped back with a yelp.

"H-hey!"

Realizing how irrational it was to be scared of the beast given it belonged to Kokoma, Sefira took a deep breath and forced herself to relax a little. At least, as much as she could knowing there were so many monsters around. Where had they all come from, anyway? Back when Emeral Odyssey was just a game, something like this never would have happened out of the blue.

"W-we should probably try and fend off the monsters, we can't just sit and do nothing..." commented Sefira as she stepped forward. The other player wanted her name in exchange for a ride?

"Hmph, fine," she began, looking away, "Takeyama Mats-"

Realizing she almost said her full, real, masculine name, the blonde girl froze for a moment.

There was no way letting this girl know that was a good idea.

Hoping that Kokoma didn't hear her properly, Sefira cleared her throat.

"Sylvanbelle. Sefira Sylvanbelle."

They run a bit more halfling then dwarf, but you get ones who are way more martial, like how Charlotte from GBF is basically a paladin.
An impressive display of power, and it revealed a team of traitorous hunters on top of it.

Nobunaga had little tolerance for traitors.

The arrow that sailed towards her was hardly difficult to evade, a swift step. Certainly, she had questions about just how Novak had been able to predict the presence of the hunters, but that matter could wait until this conflict was resolved.

Surely, these hunters were skilled at combating animals. That much was certain. And the fact their prime target was Enli...

They had likely intended to strike by surprise.

Perhaps they would be unprepared for strong resistance?

"Novak," she began, glancing towards the man, "Make Enli a difficult target."

With that, she ducked low and began running. Immediately she was using the figure of one of the spear-wielding hunters as a shield, interposing him between herself and the archer. This would make her difficult to target as she made her advance, as it would force the archer to relocate or try and aim around his fellow.

Fighting a spearman with a sword was somewhat more difficult due to their range, but these were hardly trained samurai she was facing.

The moment she came within range of the man's spear, the petite black-haired girl would swiftly unsheathe her katana and swing upwards, in a bid to intercept his attacking and shove the weapon out of her way. If she could get into his range and beneath the spear, then the next step was obvious.

Take his arms.

If he survived that and lived long enough after the remaining two hunters were dead, he could be questioned.

@Crimson Paladin@Rune_Alchemist
That's pretty much what I was expecting, honestly.
