You could merge some of your characters into one. Unless of course they have to be seperate. But merging multiple characters into one could add a lot of depth to a single character. Or it could be a horrible abomination.
Just an idea.

I thought this was really well written. You conveyed realistic and captivating emotion. I think that really helped to drive the story.
You don’t have to answer this but is this based off a similar experience of yours?

@daeus Go England!
@that_writer_girl_99 If you research the Battle of Agincourt, I think. Or just the One Hundred Years War you’re likely to stumble across mentions of longbowmen prowess.I think it is worth mentioning the crossbow as an alternative to the bow. I don’t know how much you no about them so. Rather than arrows they use short bolts. And are sort of a hybrid between a gun and a bow. (Have a trigger but propel via bowstring) Generally crossbows are a lot easier to use than bows. They require less skill to master and again in general are easier. However, the reload time is a fair bit slower than if you used a bow. You many know all this already but just in case its been said.
I’m not sure whether your fantasy will have plated armour. But that brings a few different approaches to combat. If you’re interested I’m happy to explain.

@gabbyj Well, I have to admit I’ve never really tried to add humour in my writing. Makes me sound a bit depressing.
Maybe it could be interesting to see that character mature as the plot intensifies. Unless of course you really want humour to remain throughout your story.
I know I haven’t really answered the original question. Just a bit of food for thought.😀

I loved it too. One of my favourites alongside Rogue One. Kylo Ren has to be my favourite villain of all time. I was pleasantly surprised.

@gabbyj Okay. Well, in that case I’d definetly try and keep my distance if I could. Whenever possible I’d use long ranged weapons. Due to their size a ballista springs to mind. I’m going to assume your dragons breath fire so wooden weapons are redundant. A suit of metal armour might not be the best idea as it would essentially become an oven. Even if you’re not directly hit by its flames. The best non-projectile weapons would be something like a pike, halberd or a spear. Again try to keep your distance. Hopefully this is helpful. I’ve only really skim-read everyone else’s advice so I apologise if I repeated anything.

@gabbyj I’d say it depends on their size mostly. How big are dragons in your fantasy?

@inkling-for-christ The thread is titled ‘I need inspiration!’
That one English guy.
@alia They could all be colours, maybe? Or possibly different times of day. Or they could rhyme. Not sure…

@inkling-for-christ There’ a recent thread about that called Help I need Inspiration! Or something along thosr lines. It was started by @epicaddie2 . There should be a lot of helpful info on there. Just look at the recent forum topics until you find it. It shouldn’t be far as it was started yesterday.

@emily Go ahead. Any questions, just ask.
