TNGF
SELECTED
Captain of the Guard
primary
A rugged man in his late 40s with a muscular build, bearing the scars of past battles. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His short-cropped salt-and-pepper beard frames a stern mouth. His hands are calloused, and his posture exudes authority.
Nobleman
primary
A middle-aged aristocrat with a well-groomed beard and sharp, discerning eyes. His posture is upright, exuding authority, and his hands are adorned with several ornate rings. His face bears the marks of a life of privilege, with faint lines of worry now creasing his forehead.
Soldier
secondary
A young man in his early twenties, lean but strong from recent training. His face is freshly shaven with a few nicks from nervous hands, and his dark hair is cropped short beneath his helmet. His hands are calloused but not yet hardened by years of combat.
Merchant
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly hunched posture from years of bending over his stall. His face is lined with worry, and his dark eyes dart nervously between his goods and the commotion in the square. His hands are calloused from handling merchandise, and his dark brown hair is streaked with gray.
Blacksmith
background
A burly man in his late 30s with muscular arms and a soot-streaked face, his hands rough from years of working with hot metal. His dark hair is tied back with a leather strap, and his beard is short but unkempt. His forearms bear old burn scars from his trade.
Dialog
Captain of the Guard
Move those barrels to the gates! The Venetians won't wait for our niceties.
Nobleman
Must you scatter our defenses like a housewife tossing grain to chickens? The enemy approaches with deliberation, not haste.
Soldier
Signore, the men at the eastern wall report torches moving beyond the river...
Captain of the Guard
Then double the watch. And tell them to keep their blades dry until my order.
Nobleman
Would it not serve us better to dispatch riders to confirm these shadows before we exhaust our men chasing phantoms?
Captain of the Guard
Phantoms cut throats same as men. You want confirmation? Wait for their pikes at your door.
Soldier
The eastern watch... they say it's Bembo's banner in the torchlight!
