Characters
Bohemian Knight
primary
A formidable knight in his early 40s, with a broad, muscular build honed by years of combat. His face bears the scars of previous battles, and his piercing blue eyes are framed by a short, well-kept beard. His helm, adorned with a crest of Bohemian nobility, partially obscures his face, revealing only his determined expression.
Austrian Knight
primary
A broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s, standing tall in full plate armor adorned with the red-and-white crest of Austria. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. Piercing blue eyes glare from beneath his great helm's visor, which is currently raised for better visibility in the duel.
Bohemian Archer
secondary
A wiry man in his late 20s, with sun-weathered skin and a scraggly beard. His lean build speaks of a life spent hunting and fighting. A fresh cut on his left cheek drips blood onto his rough-spun tunic. His hands are calloused from years of drawing bowstrings.
Austrian Foot Soldier
secondary
A gaunt man in his late twenties with sunken cheeks and a wiry frame, his face streaked with mud and sweat. His dark brown hair is matted under a padded coif, and his arms bear fresh scratches from recent combat. His eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young soldier, likely in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build typical of medieval infantry. His face is smeared with dirt and blood, his short brown hair matted with sweat. A deep wound on his left side leaves a trail of blood as he moves, and his right leg appears useless, dragging behind him.
Dialog
Bohemian Knight
Your steel is as dull as your claim to these lands, Sir Austrian! Yield now, and perhaps King Ottokar will grant you mercy!
Austrian Knight
Vorwärts! Your arrogance blinds you, Sir Bohemian. These lands answer to Austrian steel this day!
Austrian Foot Soldier
Pan knight! Bohemian spears push through the flank... this soldier cannot hold!
Bohemian Knight
Hear how your men falter? Like wheat before the scythe of righteous conquest!
Austrian Knight
Achtung! Stand fast, men! Let these Bohemian dogs taste Austrian resolve!
