TNGF

SELECTED

Thomas Farriner

primary

A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, his face lined with the stress of the moment. His hands are flour-dusted even amidst the chaos, and his apron is singed at the edges from the nearby flames.

Samuel Pepys

primary

A middle-aged man of average height with a slightly rounded figure, clean-shaven face, and keen, observant eyes. His wig is slightly askew from the chaos, and his face is smudged with soot.

Firefighter

secondary

A burly man in his late 30s, with soot-streaked face and singed eyebrows. His muscular arms bear burn scars from previous fires, and his calloused hands grip the pump handle with practiced strength.

King's Messenger

secondary

A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, wiry build, his face weathered from years of travel. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by thin eyebrows and a neatly trimmed mustache. His posture is upright, reflecting his royal appointment.

Panicked Citizen

background

A middle-aged woman with a gaunt face and wild, smoke-streaked hair. Her eyes are wide with terror, and her cheeks are streaked with soot and tears. She clutches a bundle of salvaged belongings to her chest, her knuckles white with tension.

Dialog

Thomas Farriner I swear it upon my soul, Master Pepys, the oven was cold as the grave when I left it!

Samuel Pepys Yet here we stand amidst the conflagration, good baker. Your kneading troughs now feed a hungrier flame than any Londoner.

King's Messenger His Majesty requires immediate accounting of westward progress. These embers threaten Whitehall itself.

Thomas Farriner God's teeth! The wind turns the flames upon my own house again - see how they dance like devils!

Samuel Pepys Note well, sirrah - the thatch ignites first, then the pitch between timbers. Mark how St. Paul's dome begins to glow like Vulcan's forge.

King's Messenger The Dutch would call this 'brandspuyten' - fire-spouts. Though no foreign hand wrought this calamity.

Thomas Farriner Would that I'd baked my last loaf ere seeing this day! The very stones crack like biscuit in the oven!
