First Battle of Bedriacum

First Battle of Bedriacum

Otho’s and Vitellius’ legions engage in a brutal, muddy battle near the Po River. The fighting is chaotic, with soldiers slipping in the muck, shields splintering, and the air filled with screams and

Setting

Muddy fields near the Po River, with scattered patches of marshland and trampled spring vegetation. The battlefield is littered with the detritus of war—broken shields, discarded weapons, and the fallen. The riverbank is visible in the distance, its waters churned by the movement of troops and horses.

SELECTED

Legionary Centurion

primary

A battle-hardened centurion in his late 30s, with a muscular build and weathered skin. His face bears several scars from previous battles, and his short-cropped hair is streaked with grey. His piercing eyes are filled with determination and fatigue.

Legionary Standard-Bearer

secondary

A battle-weary Roman soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, and his short-cropped hair is matted under his helmet. A fresh cut on his cheek bleeds slightly, mixing with the grime of battle.

Vitellian Legionary

secondary

A battle-hardened soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of military training. His face is streaked with mud and sweat, and a fresh cut on his cheekbone shows the intensity of the combat. His short-cropped hair is matted under his helmet, and his eyes burn with determination.

Wounded Soldier

background

A young legionary in his early twenties, his muscular build now weakened by severe injuries. His face is streaked with mud and blood, his short-cropped dark hair matted with sweat and grime. A deep gash runs across his left thigh, and his right arm hangs limp, possibly broken. His breathing is labored, and his eyes are glazed with pain and exhaustion.

Dialog

Legionary Centurion Hold the line, you dogs! By Jupiter's thunder, if that standard falls, I'll flog every last one of you!

Legionary Standard-Bearer Centurion! Their flank pushes like a damned battering ram—we need reserves or we'll be swimming in the Po by sunset!

Legionary Centurion Reserves? Look around, brother—this mud is our reserve now. Testudo formation on my mark!

Legionary Standard-Bearer Pluto take their blackened souls—they're cutting toward the eagle!

Legionary Centurion Then we die here like proper legionaries. Shield wall! For Otho and Rome!
