SELECTED
Archibald Douglas
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his early 40s with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a thick red beard streaked with gray. His muscular frame shows the signs of years of battle, with scars visible on his arms and hands. His hair is shoulder-length and unkempt, tied back with a simple leather cord.
Scottish Knight
secondary
A rugged, battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a scar running from his left eyebrow to his cheekbone. His sun-weathered face is framed by a thick, dark beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and weariness from years of warfare.
English Archer
secondary
A wiry, sunburnt man in his late 30s with a lean, muscular build from years of drawing the longbow. His face is lined with deep creases around the eyes from squinting against the sun, and his hands are calloused and strong. His dark brown hair is cropped short under a simple cloth cap, and he sports a short, unkempt beard.
Scottish Foot Soldier
background
A rugged, middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face weathered by years of outdoor living and battle. His dark hair is matted with sweat and mud, and a thick beard covers his jaw. His hands are calloused from wielding weapons, and his arms bear old scars from previous conflicts.

Archibald Douglas
Forward, lads! The hill is ours if we but take it!

My lord, the marsh slows us—we're sitting ducks for their arrows!

Aye, that's right, blue bonnets—keep coming! Makes for easier targets.
Archibald Douglas
Then we charge faster! By Saint Andrew, we'll not die in this muck!

Dia gu deimhinn! Their bowmen are picking us apart!

Loose! And may Saint George guide these shafts true.

Hold the line! Hold, I say! Scotland needs us this day!
