TNGF
SELECTED
English Captain
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a muscular build, his face weathered from years of military campaigns. His short, dark hair is streaked with gray, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His piercing blue eyes show a mix of exhaustion and determination. A long scar runs down his left cheek, a testament to past battles.
Scottish Elder
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late 60s with a weathered face marked by deep wrinkles and a long, white beard. His piercing blue eyes show both wisdom and exhaustion. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and he leans slightly on a simple wooden staff for support.
Baker's Wife
secondary
A woman in her early thirties with a wiry build, her face smudged with flour and soot. Her auburn hair, partly escaped from a linen cap, clings to her sweat-dampened forehead. One arm clutches a swaddled infant to her chest while the other struggles to maintain grip on a lumpy bundle of possessions tied in a homespun blanket.
English Soldier
secondary
A weary English soldier in his late twenties, with a lean but muscular build from years of campaigning. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his short brown beard is unkempt. He has a fresh scar above his left eyebrow, likely from recent fighting. His eyes are alert but tired, scanning the chaotic scene around him.
Injured Man
background
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face and a blood-stained linen bandage wrapped around his left thigh. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his sunken eyes reveal exhaustion and pain. His hands are calloused, suggesting a lifetime of manual labor.
Dialog
English Captain
Move faster, damn you! We burn the warehouses at noon—any laggards burn with them.
Scottish Elder
Aye, we ken your threats, Captain. But mind ye—my folk carry wounded and bairns. The cobbles run slick with their blood already.
Baker's Wife
Bread sacks for bandages, aye? Like stitching flour into wounds! Can ye nay spare the kirk for shelter?
English Captain
The church is for powder storage. Your god can wait.
Scottish Elder
See here—the west lane's clear of your rubble. Let the women pass there and your timetable stays whole.
Baker's Wife
Bairn's gone grey as unbaked dough! Where's the milk-woman?
English Captain
Fall in, rearguard! Archers to the ridge—the Scots will be upon us ere sundown.
