Setting
Dunbar Castle's outer walls and surrounding battlefield, with the castle's stone walls partially damaged from siege engines, and the muddy fields littered with weapons and bodies. The English forces are positioned in formation outside the walls, while Scottish defenders cluster on the battlements and at the gatehouse.

King Edward I of England
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a strong, angular face framed by graying blond hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with calculated intensity. Despite his age, he sits straight in the saddle, his broad shoulders and muscular frame evident even beneath his armor.
English Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by old scars. His piercing blue eyes are framed by a short, dark beard streaked with grey. His chainmail coif is pushed back, revealing sweat-matted brown hair.
English Longbowman
secondary
A wiry, sun-browned man in his late twenties, with a lean build hardened by years of archery practice. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his hands are calloused from drawing the powerful longbow. His eyes are sharp and focused, scanning the castle walls for targets.
Scottish Defender
primary
A rugged Scottish knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His fiery red beard is matted with sweat and blood, and his piercing blue eyes burn with defiance. His chainmail is dented and bloodstained, with a tattered surcoat bearing faded heraldry.
Scottish Squire
background
A young man of about 16 years, with a lean but wiry build from years of training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, his light brown hair tousled and sticking to his forehead. His hands bear fresh blisters from handling weapons and armor, and there's a determined set to his jaw despite the fear in his eyes.
Dialog
King Edward I of England
By the grace of God, we shall see these walls crumble before nightfall. Let the archers loose another volley upon their battlements.
English Knight
Aye, Your Grace. Archers, mark your targets! Loose at will!
English Longbowman
Ready the shafts! Draw and loose!
Scottish Defender
Alba gu bràth! Stand fast, lads! Let these Sassenach dogs taste our steel!
King Edward I of England
Their defiance is commendable, but futile. The day is ours.
Scottish Defender
Ye may take our castle, Longshanks, but ye'll never break our spirit!
English Knight
Press the assault! The gatehouse is weakening!
