Setting
A sun-baked battlefield near Fossalta, with trampled wheat fields and scattered olive groves providing sparse cover. The ground is uneven, dotted with shallow ditches and the occasional crumbling stone wall from nearby farmsteads.

TNGF
SELECTED
Modenese Captain
primary
A battle-hardened leader in his late 30s, with a muscular build honed by years of warfare. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to the corner of his mouth—a testament to past battles. His dark brown eyes are sharp and commanding, framed by thick eyebrows that often knit together in concentration or fury.
Modenese Soldier
secondary
A wiry infantryman in his late 20s, sun-browned face streaked with sweat and grime. His short dark beard is matted with dust, and a recent gash across his left cheekbone has crusted over with dried blood. Muscular forearms bear the scars of previous engagements, and his stance betrays exhaustion from hours of fighting.
Bolognese Knight
secondary
A wounded knight in his late thirties, with a muscular build now weakened by battle injuries. His face is streaked with dirt and blood, his dark beard matted with sweat. A deep gash on his left thigh stains his gambeson crimson, and his right hand clutches a broken sword hilt.
Field Surgeon
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face streaked with dirt and sweat. His hands are calloused and stained with blood, showing signs of frequent use. His dark hair is matted and greasy, tied back roughly to keep it out of his face. A deep scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to his own past encounters with battle.
Dialog
Modenese Captain
Rally to the standard! The Bolognese dogs break!
Modenese Soldier
Aye, Captain! Their knights are down—their crossbowmen flee!
Modenese Captain
Press them! No quarter for those who'd sack our city!
Modenese Soldier
But sir—their commander lies wounded. Do we take him?
Modenese Captain
Chain him. His ransom will buy Modena new walls.
Modenese Soldier
As you command. The men—they'll want plunder...
Modenese Captain
After the victory! First, secure the field—or this day's work is for naught.
