TNGF
SELECTED
Hugh Dubh O'Neill
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set dark eyes, and a thick black beard streaked with gray. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his stance exudes authority. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Oliver Cromwell
primary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build, with a square jaw and piercing eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his hair is cropped short in the Puritan style. He has a prominent wart above his right eyebrow and a stern, commanding presence.
Irish Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a stocky, muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered and lined, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to his cheekbone. His thick, graying beard is flecked with dirt and gunpowder, and his piercing blue eyes are sharp with battle-hardened focus.
English Lieutenant
secondary
A young, wiry officer in his mid-20s with a sharp, angular face and a closely cropped brown beard. His piercing blue eyes are bloodshot from smoke and exhaustion, and a fresh cut on his left cheekbone drips blood down his stubbled jawline. His posture is tense, muscles coiled like a spring ready to release.
Town Militiaman
background
A wiry, middle-aged man with sunken cheeks and a short, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his face is streaked with sweat and gunpowder. His eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.

Hold the barricade, lads! Let them feel the weight of Irish steel for every step they take!
Oliver Cromwell
Press forward, men! The Lord has delivered this town into our hands—let not their defiance stay you!
Irish Sergeant
Mind the gap there! More rubble to the left—quickly now, before they breach!
Hugh Dubh O'Neill
Dar Dia, they come again. Ready the pikes at the choke point—let them break upon us like waves upon the rocks.

Their resistance is but the last gasp of rebellion. Forward, in the name of the Commonwealth!

Steady, lads! One more volley—aim for their officers!

Mo chreach... they flank us. Fall back to the square—we make our stand there.
