TNGF
SELECTED
Landsknecht Captain
primary
A battle-hardened mercenary in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a face weathered by years of campaigning. His left cheek bears a jagged scar from a previous battle, and his piercing blue eyes are cold and calculating. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his plumed hat, and his beard is neatly trimmed.
Peasant Leader
primary
A burly man in his late 30s with sun-weathered skin and deep-set eyes that burn with conviction. His muscular frame bears the marks of hard labor, with calloused hands gripping a makeshift pike. A fresh gash on his cheek drips blood onto his roughspun tunic.
Landsknecht Soldier
secondary
A battle-weary mercenary in his late 20s, with a muscular but gaunt frame from years of campaigning. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, with a fresh cut across his left cheek. His sunken eyes show fatigue, and his unkempt beard is matted with blood and grime.
Peasant Woman
secondary
A sturdy woman in her late 30s with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands, her straw-colored hair escaping from a linen cap. She has a determined set to her jaw and the muscular build of someone accustomed to hard labor.
Wounded Rebel
background
A middle-aged peasant man with a gaunt, sun-weathered face and a wiry build, his body bearing the marks of hard labor. His dark hair is matted with sweat and blood, and his beard is streaked with dirt. A deep gash runs across his left shoulder, and his tattered clothing is soaked with blood.

Dialog

Landsknecht Captain Schweine! Form ranks—pikes forward! Cut them down like wheat! Verstanden?
Peasant Leader Stand, brothers! For God's justice and Brotherly Love! Their gold won't save them from our scythes!
Peasant Woman The mill—flank them at the mill! They can't swing those long knives in close!
Landsknecht Captain You fight like dogs with no master. I'll put you in the ground where you belong.
Peasant Leader Our master is Christ, not your greedy lords! Today we harvest tyrants!
Peasant Woman Johann's down by the well—someone pull him back! Schnell!
Landsknecht Captain Finish them. No quarter. The Prince wants this rebellion drowned in blood.
