TNGF
SELECTED
Castellan
primary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a weathered face marked by scars and a thick, graying beard. His muscular build shows years of military training, and his left arm is wrapped in a blood-stained bandage from a recent wound. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus.
Archer
primary
A rugged Highlander in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and sharp blue eyes that constantly scan the battlefield. His sinewy arms show years of longbow training, with a distinctive callus on his right middle finger from the bowstring. Sandy hair tied back with a leather thong reveals a fresh scar along his left cheekbone.
Blacksmith
secondary
A burly, middle-aged man with muscular arms and a soot-streaked face, his hands rough and calloused from years of working with metal. His dark hair is tied back with a leather strap, and his beard is singed at the edges from the forge.
Squire
secondary
A lean, wiry youth of about 16 years with sun-browned skin and a mop of unruly auburn hair. His face is smudged with soot and sweat, and his quick, darting movements betray both exhaustion and adrenaline. His hands are calloused from handling weapons and reins, and his bright blue eyes constantly scan for threats.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Scottish defender in his mid-20s, lean but muscular from years of training. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, with a deep gash across his forehead bleeding into his left eye. His chainmail is torn at the shoulder where an arrow pierced through, and his left leg bears a severe wound from a sword slash.
Dialog
Castellan
Hold the bloody gate! If they breach, we're all dead men!
Archer
Mo chreach... their crossbowmen are creeping like foxes through the bracken. Let me thin their ranks.
Castellan
Aye, but mark their sergeants first. Without leaders, the rabble'll scatter like geese.
Archer
Wind's shifting northeast. These yew feathers won't fly true unless the smoke clears.
Castellan
Then wait for the bastards to come closer. We need every shaft to bite deep today.
Archer
Bodach in a red surcoat just ordered the ladders forward. I'll put one through his gullet.
