TNGF
SELECTED
Captain of the Guard
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His graying beard is neatly trimmed, and his hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons. His posture exudes authority, and his piercing gaze commands respect.
Townsman
primary
A stout, middle-aged man with a weathered face, sunken cheeks, and a thick, unkempt beard streaked with gray. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his dark brown eyes are sharp with a mix of determination and fatigue.
Archer
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from years of bow practice. His dark brown hair is cropped short under a simple cloth coif, and his sharp eyes constantly scan the horizon for threats. A faded scar runs along his left cheekbone from a past skirmish.
Baker's Wife
secondary
A sturdy woman in her late 30s with sun-kissed skin from years working near the oven, her strong arms accustomed to kneading dough. Her brown hair is tied back in a practical braid, with wisps escaping around her round face. She has a flour-dusted apron tied over her dress, and her hands are rough from labor.
Young Boy
background
A thin, wiry boy of about 10 years old with tousled brown hair and smudges of dirt on his face. His cheeks are flushed from exertion, and his small frame shows the strain of carrying heavy loads.

Dialog

Captain of the Guard Archers to the west wall! The English bring their ladders again.
Townsman Captain, the gates won't hold another ramming. We need more timber.
Captain of the Guard Then take it from the houses near the square. Burn the rest if you must.
Townsman Aye, but the baker’s wife—
Captain of the Guard No time for sentiment. The city falls if those gates do.
Townsman Understood. We’ll strip the roofs first.
Captain of the Guard Make haste. The next assault comes before dusk.
