TNGF
SELECTED
City Captain
primary
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered face, and piercing gray eyes. His short, dark hair is streaked with silver, and he sports a thick beard. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to years of battle.
Guard
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face, a thick beard streaked with gray, and deep-set, watchful eyes. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and a jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly man in his late 40s with a thick, singed beard and muscular arms covered in old burns and scars. His face is weathered from years near the forge, with deep-set, keen eyes that scrutinize every detail of his work. His hands are large and calloused, moving with practiced precision.
Young Boy
background
A thin, wiry boy of about 10 years with sun-browned skin and tousled dark hair. His small frame shows signs of malnutrition common among medieval commoners, but his movements are quick and purposeful. His hands are rough from labor, and his bare feet are calloused from running along the city's stone paths.

Dialog

City Captain By the saints, sharpen those blades properly, or we’ll be fighting with sticks!
Guard Aye, Captain. The bastards are massing near the south gate—their archers look ready.
City Captain Then double the watch there. And tell the men—no fires tonight. We don’t give them targets.
Guard Hmph. If they breach, they’ll find steel waiting—not bread and salt.
City Captain Save your fury for the fight. Now move.
