French Expedition Landing at Killala

French troops under General Humbert are disembarking at Killala Bay to support the Irish Rebellion of 1798, greeted by local United Irishmen on the shore while British forces muster in the distance.

Setting

Killala Bay, County Mayo, Ireland — A rugged coastline with a small sandy beach where French troops are disembarking from their ships. The bay is surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with thatched cottages and stone walls. The French ships are anchored just offshore, their sails billowing in the wind.

Dialog

General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert By the will of the people, we stand together on Irish soil at last! The chains of tyranny shall be broken here, today.
United Irishman Leader Tá fáilte romhat, General. The hills have been waiting for this day—but the redcoats are already stirring like wasps from a nest.
French Lieutenant The last boats are ashore, mon Général. We must secure the beachhead before the British can muster their full strength.
General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert Then let them come! Every moment they delay is another village that hears of liberty. Lieutenant, deploy the skirmishers along that ridge.
United Irishman Leader Our lads know these lands like their own breath. They’ll guide your men through the bogs where the redcoats’ boots will sink like stones.
French Lieutenant Speed is our ally. If we strike before they consolidate, we may yet turn the tide for Dublin.
General Jean Joseph Amable Humbert Then let us march under the banner of Erin and Liberté! For every minute wasted, the British dig their heels deeper.
