Setting

A vast, waterlogged battlefield near Solway Moss, a marshy expanse on the Scottish border. The terrain is treacherous, with patches of deep mud, reeds, and shallow pools of water reflecting the overcast sky. The distant hills of Scotland loom in the background, while the English forces advance across the mire.

TNGF
SELECTED
Lord Maxwell
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish nobleman with a thick auburn beard streaked with grey. His piercing blue eyes are filled with desperation and determination. His face is weathered from years of battle and the harsh Scottish climate.
English Commander
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man with a stern, weathered face. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold calculation. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his square jaw. A long scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Scottish Soldier
secondary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face, sunken cheeks, and a scraggly beard. His frame is wiry but weakened by hunger and exhaustion. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep.
English Archer
background
A seasoned English longbowman, his arms sinewy from years of drawing the mighty yew longbow. His face is weathered from countless campaigns, with a sharp gaze honed by years of targeting foes across battlefields.

Dialog

Lord Maxwell By Saint Andrew's bones, stand yer ground! The Auld Alliance will nae see us flee like cowards!
English Commander Archers, loose upon my mark. Let not a single Scot escape this mire.
Scottish Soldier Aye, but the mud's near swallowed me boots... we cannae fight in this, m'lord.
Lord Maxwell Then die standin', ye craven dogs! Better that than crawl back to yer bairns in shame!
English Commander Observe how their ranks falter. Press the advance—let their own land be their grave.
Scottish Soldier Saint Ninian save us... they're flankin' the right! We're done for...
English Commander Finish them. No quarter given.
