Setting
The sandy shores of Richborough, Kent, where the Roman fleet has just landed. The beach is scattered with wooden landing crafts, and the nearby marshlands are buzzing with activity as soldiers disembark. The shallow waters glisten in the morning sun, and the distant hills of Britain loom in the background.

TNGF
SELECTED
Aulus Plautius
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Roman general in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His dark brown hair is streaked with gray, cut short in military fashion, and his piercing gray eyes survey the landing with sharp focus. A battle scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone.
Legion Commander
secondary
A seasoned Roman officer in his late 40s, with a muscular build from years of military campaigns. His face bears the weathered lines of sun and wind, with a prominent Roman nose and close-cropped grey-streaked hair. A jagged scar runs from his left temple to jawline - a battle trophy from Germania.
Tribune
secondary
A lean, athletic Roman officer in his late 20s with sharp features and sun-darkened skin from years of campaigning. His short-cropped black hair shows hints of premature gray at the temples, and his clean-shaven face bears a small scar across his left cheekbone - likely from training accidents rather than battle. His posture is upright but not rigid, with the controlled energy of a man accustomed to both giving and executing orders.
British Scout
secondary
A wiry, middle-aged Briton with sun-darkened skin and keen, watchful eyes. His face is framed by a thick, unkempt beard streaked with grey, and his muscular build suggests a lifetime of hunting and warfare. His hair is long and matted, tied back with a simple leather thong.
Legionary Soldier
background
A rugged Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is weathered by campaign life, with a short-cropped beard and sun-tanned skin. His dark brown eyes scan the terrain with practiced vigilance.
Dialog
Aulus Plautius
Mars Ultor guide our steps—ensure the auxiliaries form a protective cordon before we advance beyond the beachhead.
Legion Commander
The XIV's baggage train is still disembarking—those muli are slower than a Gaul in winter! Tribune, push them harder!
Tribune
By your command! Centurion, double-time those supply carts—we need that artillery unloaded before noon!
Aulus Plautius
Observe the tree line—those Britons watch like wolves assessing a wounded deer. Tribune, deploy the Batavian cavalry to scout those woods.
Legion Commander
The artillery vexillation reports their ballistae are waterlogged—they'll need three hours to dry the sinews.
Tribune
Shall I order the engineers to construct temporary defenses while we wait, Proconsul? A ditch and palisade would secure our position.
Aulus Plautius
Wisely suggested. Let the Britons see Rome builds fortifications as readily as she conquers. Make it so.
