TNGF
SELECTED
Robert de Beaumont
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered nobleman in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His piercing blue eyes are framed by deep lines of concentration, and his dark brown hair is streaked with grey, worn slightly longer than typical for the period. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to jawline — a souvenir from earlier conflicts.
Guard Captain
secondary
A grizzled veteran with a thick beard streaked with gray, his face lined with scars from years of battle. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with practiced ease.
Archer
secondary
A wiry man with sun-weathered skin and keen, hawk-like eyes honed from years of longbow practice. His arms are sinewy from drawing the heavy yew bow, and his fingers bear the calluses of a seasoned archer.
Squire
background
A young nobleman in training, with a lean build and a clean-shaven face. His hands are calloused from handling weapons and armor, and his posture reflects his noble upbringing.
Blacksmith
background
A burly man with soot-stained skin and a thick, singed beard. His arms are corded with muscle from years of hammering metal.

Dialog

Robert de Beaumont By Mars and Minerva! Their trebuchets strike true—reinforce the eastern wall before their infantry advance!
Guard Captain Aye, my lord! Archers to the towers—loose at will! Saints preserve us if they breach the gate!
Robert de Beaumont Hold the barbican at all costs. Let them learn the price of attacking Leicester!
Guard Captain They’re bringing ladders! Oil and stones—now!
Robert de Beaumont As Frontinus taught—when pressed, strike where they least expect. Ready the sally—we cut their sappers down.
Guard Captain A bold stroke, my lord. But if the gate falls…
Robert de Beaumont Then we meet them blade to blade in the yard. But not today, Captain. Not today.
