TNGF
SELECTED
English Captain
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by years of campaigning. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath a dented burgonet helmet, and a neatly trimmed beard frames his square jaw. Piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold calculation. His right hand bears an old scar from a Scottish claymore.
Scottish Defender
primary
A rugged Scottish soldier in his early 30s, with a wiry but strong build, sun-weathered skin, and piercing blue eyes. His dark brown hair is tied back with a leather thong, and a thick beard covers his jaw. A long scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to previous battles.
Artillery Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled English artillery sergeant in his late 40s, with a stocky build hardened by years of military service. His face is weathered, with deep-set eyes and a thick, graying beard. His hands are calloused from handling cannon tools, and he bears a jagged scar across his left cheekbone from past battles.
Wounded Soldier
secondary
A young English soldier in his early twenties, lean but muscular from campaign life. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, his fair hair matted with blood from a head wound. His left leg bears a deep gash wrapped in makeshift bandages that seep crimson.
Town Crier
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face weathered from years of outdoor work. His thick, graying beard is unkempt, and his piercing blue eyes scan the horizon with urgency. His hands are calloused, and his stance is sturdy, accustomed to projecting his voice across distances.
Dialog
English Captain
By God's wounds, these Scots cling to their walls like limpets to a rock! Sergeant, adjust your elevation—their southern curtain weakens.
Artillery Sergeant
Aye, Captain. Mind your powder, lads! She'll bite if ye fumble the cartridge.
Scottish Defender
Hear that, Sassenach dogs? Your iron bark won't make Haddington's walls whimper!
English Captain
Insolent whelp! When your gates splinter, you'll learn the price of defying England's grace.
Artillery Sergeant
Wind's shifting east—mark three fingers left or she'll overshoot again.
Scottish Defender
Grace? The only grace you'll find is a grave in Lothian soil!
English Captain
Sergeant—fire when ready. Let's see how long their tongues wag when stone rains down.
