A sun-drenched field outside Königshofen, with trampled crops and scattered weapons. The nearby village smolders in the distance, its half-timbered buildings visible through the haze of smoke.

TNGF
SELECTED
Peasant Leader
primary
A burly, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick, graying beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his body bears the marks of recent battle—a deep gash across his left forearm and dirt-streaked clothing.
Mercenary Captain
primary
A grizzled warrior in his late 40s, with a face lined by years of campaigning. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and a battle-hardened frame. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles. His greying hair is cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold efficiency.
Young Rebel
secondary
A scrawny teenage boy of about 15 years, with sunburned skin and straw-colored hair matted with sweat and dirt. His face is smudged with soot from gunpowder, and his wide blue eyes dart with fear. His hands tremble as they grip a crude farming implement repurposed as a weapon.
Mercenary Lieutenant
secondary
A battle-hardened soldier in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of campaigning. His face bears a jagged scar running from left temple to jawline, and his sun-weathered skin suggests many seasons spent under open skies. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a steel sallet helmet.
Wounded Rebel
background
A middle-aged peasant man, his gaunt frame covered in dirt and blood, with sunken cheeks and a weathered face that speaks of years of hard labor. His dark, matted hair is streaked with gray, and his hollow eyes reflect both pain and resignation. A deep gash across his abdomen leaves a trail of blood as he crawls.

Dialog

Mercenary Lieutenant Kreuzdonnerwetter! They scatter like rats! Press the flank!
Peasant Leader By the Holy Cross, they’ll slaughter us if we run. Stand with me!
Mercenary Captain Finish this—no quarter. The League pays for results.
