Setting

The sandy shores of Richborough (Rutupiae) at dawn, with the English Channel stretching out behind the Roman fleet. The beach is scattered with small pebbles and patches of coarse grass leading up to low dunes. Beyond the dunes, the dense forests of Kent loom, dark and unknown.

TNGF
SELECTED
Legion Commander
primary
A seasoned Roman officer in his late forties, with a muscular build honed by decades of military campaigns. His face bears the weathered lines of sun and wind, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone—a souvenir from Germanic campaigns. His dark brown eyes are sharp and calculating, framed by short-cropped graying hair. A neatly trimmed beard follows the contours of his strong jaw.
Centurion
secondary
A battle-hardened Roman centurion in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face bears several scars, including a prominent one across his left cheekbone. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing brown eyes constantly scan the surroundings. His hands are calloused from gripping his gladius.
Tribune
secondary
A young Roman tribune in his early 20s, with a lean but athletic build. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp features and piercing dark eyes that betray his eagerness. His short, dark hair is neatly trimmed in the military style of the Roman elite.
Briton Scout
secondary
A wiry man in his late twenties, with sun-darkened skin and unkempt brown hair tied back with a leather thong. His sharp features are accentuated by deep-set eyes that constantly scan the horizon. His body is lean from years of traversing the wilds, with sinewy muscles visible beneath his simple tunic.
Legionary
background
A battle-hardened Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of training and marching. His face is weathered from campaigns across the empire, with a short-cropped beard and a recent scar across his left cheekbone. His hands grip his gladius with practiced ease, calloused from handling weapons daily.
Slave
background
A thin, wiry man in his late 20s with sun-darkened skin and short-cropped dark hair. His arms bear old whip scars visible beneath the grime of hard labor. His eyes dart nervously, showing whites around dark irises.

Dialog

Legion Commander Centurion, deploy the testudo beyond the dunes. These Bri-TOONS will learn why Rome's eagles cast long shadows.
Centurion Testudo formation! Muli on the flanks, veterans at the front. Move like you've got sense!
Briton Scout More metal men than stars in the winter sky... Tell the chariots to wait for my horn-call.
Legion Commander Signal the fleet to beach the transports. We'll reap these barbarians like summer wheat.
Centurion Pilum ready! Any painted savage shows his face, send him to Dis Pater.
Briton Scout Their shells may turn arrows, but their necks bleed like any man's...
Legion Commander Remember Aulus Plautius' orders—take prisoners for Claudius' triumph. But if they resist... spare none.
