Rebecca Lawrence
Rebecca is in her late 30’s and like her ancestors before her she is a long
standing opponent of the Marshes. The only reason she is still alive is through a
combination of luck and extreme caution when talking to outsiders. The hard life
she has been forced to endure in Innsmouth comes across in her voice, although
a strong woman she has become weary over time. Actors:
Naomi Watts, Linda Hamilton, Cate Blanchett
Jack Walters And you can rest assured doll… I'll be enlightening the
relevant authorities with all I've seen in this crazy shit hole.
Rebecca Lawrence That's if they even let you leave. You've seen too much
Jack… the Order won't allow you to go easily.
Jack Walters The bus is not going till morning. Seems there's a problem
with the engine.
Rebecca Lawrence That's not good Jack.
Jack Walters There must be another way out of this crazy shit hole?
Rebecca Lawrence You could walk it… Though the marshlands that bound this
port are a full night's journey, and more perilous than the
streets and alleys of the town.
Jack Walters Oh swell.

Summary Description
Brian Burnham is the 18 year old manager of the First National Grocery store in
Innsmouth. He was caught cracking a safe of his girl friend’s father and is now in

Brian Burnham Are you sure it's safe now?
Brian Burnham Let's go, Jack.
Brian Burnham What the hell you doing? Watch your aim.
Brian Burnham Have you gone screwy?
Brian Burnham Blast! They must have realised my escape.
Brian Burnham We'll stand a better chance of staying alive if we try to
sneak past them... somehow.
Brian Burnham That was too close. We need to be more careful.
Brian Burnham The pathetic wretch killed himself... much longer in that

JACK CLAW
Character Description
NAME: Jack
Age: 23 Sex: Male
5
Personality:
Jack is a loner
Passive aggressive
If he wants to do something, he does it with attitude.
He is musically gifted (plays the guitar and sings).
Confident, doesn't hesitate much.
Voice: Doesn't sound whiny, has a mature voice for his age. His accent is a low key British
“working class accent”. He speaks almost lyrically with a sense rhythm, because all his life he has
composed rock songs. This is a film noir style voice over. He feels betrayed, and run down. Yet,
he will not give up. He talks in a low monotone voice and with a slow tempo. He sounds a bit
hoarse.
Sample Dialogue:

This is a simple challenge that will be part of the ‘tutorial’ in the final game. You
approach a “Runt” called Johnny and he asks you to show him how to do a specific
trick. By doing it, you teach him and he succeeds in the trick and goes off to tell his
friends.
Runt sting: waving and calling to player when he gets into range.
As player approaches:
Johnny: Hey! Hey! ‘Sup!
Johnny briefing part 1 - once the player has pressed square to accept:
Johnny: Check out this kickflip. Check it out.
Johnny tries trick and fails
The D-Boy challenge is to follow the gang leader around the district as he performs
tricks. If you keep up then you win, if you lag too far behind, you lose:
If the player fails to keep up (cannot stay within 30m of Bad-Ass Challenger)
D-Boy: Better jet, Malibu Barbie! You don’t wanna be here when the
crew finds ya!
The following are additional taunt/congratulatory messages from the challenger, which we may
need in the future.
Congratulations
D-Boy: That’s big homes!
D-Boy: Do it up!
D-Boy: Awesome!
D-Boy: You da man!
D-Boy: Way to go boyo!

Taunts
D-Boy: Look at the little yuppie!
D-Boy: Locals only fool!
D-Boy: Man that’s skanky!
D-Boy: You smellin’ up dogtown!
D-Boy: Do I gotta watch this?
D-Boy: Give it up sis!
D-Boy: Go back to school, fool!
D-Boy: Time to go!
D-Boy: If style talks, you gotta walk!
D-Boy: Beat feet wipe!
D-Boy: Give up, clown! (meaning ‘give up’ and not ‘applaud’)

The Hessian challenge is more complex. The guy calls you over and tells you to
climb up a building using a ladder and then jump off that building - down 30 feet into
a dumpster full of rubbish. The player must get off the board, climb the ladder, move
a ramp to the edge of the building, jump on his board and hit the ramp. While in the
air, he has to pull a Jackass Stunt and then aim to safely hit the dumpster:
***Hessian briefing***
Hessian: Hi! How are you today? (no beat) Great! Question - Would you
consider – hypothetically – um… climbing up to the top of the ladder
there and using the ramp to Cannonball into this dumpster? This one
here. I swear it ain’t gonna hurt if you miss. I swear ta’ God! I do it
all the time.
***Hessian fail 1*** (if the player lands in dumpster but does not perform jackass
trick)
Hessian: What was that? I don’t get it. You just fell. What’s the point of just
falling into garbage? You wanna try somethin’ this time… Like a
CANNONBALL?
11
Hessian fail 2 (if player lands outside of dumpster and survives, ie. does not get sent to
hospital immediately)
Main Player Character: "yeah!" for a perfect trick & "woaa" (losing balance on
board) on a sketchy trick...
“Ooff!” and “Sonuva..!” for a heavy landing
“Aagh ooh!” and “Woah ooff!” for a fall off the board
We need to record various calls to respond to these, I have detailed some below, other
additions in US street phrasing & character will help!
All variations welcome, tough ones, angry ones, hip hop style ones (very street), Skate
punk ones, rude/puka ones, shouted ones etc…. :
- Skate
- Go Skate
- Skate Or Die
- You Die
- Your Dead
(laugh) (laugh)
Personally dissatisfied
(to peers) Do you ever feel like no one cares about your
complaints? I'm losing patience.
Harvest berries These are some really nice, juicy ones over here.
Harvest wheat Bronze scythes are the greatest invention since, um,
since….
Going to worship
(to husband) Shall I say a prayer for you, too?
Comment to husband (mildly seductive) Maybe one night soon the kids
can spend a night with the neighbors.
Pharaoh died I don't envy the king's wives now, those poor
women. Think how they must feel.
Need healthcare
(to husband) The good news is, it's not morning sickness. The
bad news is, I think I need a healer.
(peasant) dissatisfied Gripe, gripe, gripe. That's all anyone ever does
anymore.
Tend barley People think barley is mostly for beer, but I actually
like it better than wheat bread.
Comment to child
(by mother) When you grow up, you will make great things that
last forever!
Child 2
Comment to father Are monuments really built by little green men from
the sky?
Disagree No way.
Agree Sure!
Donation response Oh, thank you, you are very ki-- Hey, is that all?
Actor
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen. Lend me your ears." Nah, no one would ever talk like
that…
What's my motivation?
My wife just doesn't understand the wig and the dress. It's not MY fault I keep getting
cast as Juno.
Charioteer
Would you believe it was the horse that was speeding and not me? I'm just an innocent
bystander!
The competition here is fierce. You gotta be on top to get the good sponsors!
Who would have guesses so much dirty work goes into making pretty things?
I do all the work, and someone else gets all the gold. Hardly seems fair, does it?
Hygenist
You'd think with all that hot water, bathhouses would clean themselves. If only that were
so…
Nothing like a good bath to ease away the aches and pains of a working man. It does
wonders for the smell too.

Livestock Farmer
Cow tipping isn't so funny when you're the one who has to stand them up again.
For some reason my wife gets mad when I compare her to one of my prize heifers.
I don't worry as much about the mad cow disease as I worry about the mad bull after me.
Patrician Male
If all roads lead to Rome, then why does so much riff-raff seem to find its way here?
Yes, where there's smoke, there's fire. Why do you ask? Oh! I gotta go…
Putting out fires is a risky business, but the ladies love the uniform!
Crime doesn't pay. Of course, around here, honest work hardly pays either.

* We need to stockpile more weapons in the armory, if we are to send out enough cohorts
to destroy Carthage.
* Food supplies are running low -- you should allocate more resources to agriculture to
have a sufficient harvest for the remainder of this year.
* Your citizens are quite content, but Rome is less than pleased with your progress.

AVATAR
Jandrim? What brings you here to the Westguard?
JANDRIM I have come to
serve the Realm.
AVATAR
Then your right place would rather be Sevenkeeps.
JANDRIM No! The Realm
does not have a
treaty with King
Ulf, the Realm,
that is you! You
have brought our
people together
again, so I will
serve you!
AVATAR
What can you forge for me, Jandrim?
JANDRIM Ha! I knew you
would ask that!
JANDRIM First off, I
brought you
some good
pieces from my
collection. I put
them right over
here, for you to
choose from.
JANDRIM If I may ask you
just for one thing
though....
JANDRIM I am always on
the lookout for
new knowledge
in the art of
forging.
JANDRIM If you happen to
come across
20
such knowledge
on your journeys,
I'd be very
grateful.
JANDRIM And if you also
bring me the
necessary
materials, the
first piece of work
I produce will be
yours.

YLIA Will I find
accommodation
here with you,
my friend?
AVATAR
Make yourself at home, Ylia. Stay as long as you want here in Westguard!
YLIA May the light
always be
around you, my
friend. I feel
that I'm more
needed here
with you than in
this disgusting
town.
YLIA I see you do not
have a healer in
your village. If
the people here
are not scared
by elf magic,
then I will gladly
take care of
their sufferings.
AVATAR
You honor us, Ylia. May our country find Elen's blessings.
AVATAR
What would you, as an elf, change in the Westguard?
YLIA You have to
form your
country to suit
21
your own
needs, my
friend.
YLIA But if you build
a well or a
monument,
then I can cast
a spell on them.
AVATAR I have built a well.
YLIA I will perform a
cleansing ritual
on your well
and ask for
Elen's
blessings.
YLIA From now on
whoever drinks
from this well,
will be cured of
all illnesses.
AVATAR Thank you, Ylia.
AVATAR
We have erected a monument, Ylia.
YLIA Ah, I see. You
want me to cast
a spell on it.
YLIA Well then! I will
cast the spell of
the Oak Heart
around your
emblem. So
whoever comes
close to it, will
be given fresh
courage!
AVATAR Thank you.
MAGEZACHARIAS
I do not sense a trap... Indeed, this delivery is for
me! I will tell Alyre about your honesty!
AVATAR Do you have a task for me?
MAGEZACHARIAS
I am looking for mushrooms for a poisonous potion,
an old dwarven recipe!
MAGEZACHARIAS
I would be grateful, if you could try and find the
missing mushrooms for me.
MAGEZACHARIAS
I still need: Poisonous Stinger, Yellow Spouter,
Stomach Turner, Elven Straddler, and Brown
Forestus. Here, take this basket.
MAGEZACHARIAS
Not at the moment. Come back some other time.
