How to run The Rallying Cry
VoiceWarm, tireless — the friend at the end of every hard day. Practices his smile in a mirror before anyone sees him.
WantsTo keep everyone steady. To land the festival. To never let the town feel the drop.
Do this nowWhen a scene threatens panic, The Rallying Cry rallies — one sentence, and the crowd moves as one. After his vow: only a hoarse, ordinary shout, and it costs him everything.
“Neighbours. Stand still.”
The town's voice, with a supernatural edge — he can steady, move, or gather a crowd with uncanny ease. His horror is that he doesn't know whether the gift is his or a leash. His arc is the discovery that his greatest strength may be the enemy's tool, and the choice to lay it down rather than be its instrument.
Fights best beside — The Laughing Maul — voice steadies, mirth arms; a crowd held by both is unharvestable.
