| A few minutes pass and Titus turns up, looking as well kept as you’d expect of a dracian. “Sir.” He salutes the Consul and stands to attention
Mordred: “I’ll have my engineers ready themselves. If the immortals fail, we’ll need to bring down the walls. We cannot afford a protracted siege” | |

| "Titus, i want you and your cavalry read as soon as possible. once the gates are open, you'll be the first inside. Secure a beachhead for us, just incase resistance is stiffer than expected. Ride as fast as you can, get inside, dismount and secure the entryway, understood?" | |

| “Asking me to have my men follow the cavalry in, so when they inevitably run into a horde of very surprised and likely pissed off spearmen they'll have someone to hide behind. Your army will then be able to advance at a leisurely pace toward the city while my men secure the gatehouse and the surrounding walls” | |

| The first cry goes up some ten minutes after the immortals march into the city. "Betrayal!" In those first, crucial minutes, as the defenders are cut down at their posts. Confusion reigns. Many fall as they run towards the immortals to beg aid, or stand beside them against the attack. Unable to comprehend that such legendary defenders of keltho would turn upon it. The bells are rung as the city descends further into chaos. | |

Titus, together with his men and the Cymraic horsemen ride for the city. Horse and rider alike near indistinguishable under the new moon | |

| The din raises as they near the open gates. then they see the first of the corpses. a body thrown clear of the gatehouse, laid spread eagle upon the sand, his skull broken and leaking his life out into the desert. | |

| The Dracian cavalry charge in, trampling the corpse underfoot while the Cymriacs slow their horses and prepare to dismount | |

| As they march inside, the extent of the carnage is apparent. Corpses lie in the street in every position, stacked as many as three deep. trade wagons lie abandoned, a horse gallops away as they enter, spooked by the sight of steel. | |

| The cavalry pour into the city and they split up, following the streets to the left and right, clearing it as instructed. The Cymraic Cavalrymen having dismounted follow the Dracians in and take to clearing the smaller alleys and streets | |

| Blood runs in rivulets down the cracks between the sandstone paving slabs. The Cymrai find the first of the immortal dead. Slumped against a wall, with arrows between the plates of their armour, and a spear though the meat of their thigh. With the architecture favoring a style with a buttress at the base of the wall, the immortal's head is lent back against the wall. Gazing up at the sky. | |

| The warriors march past focussed on clearing the immediate area instead of the dead, any kelthrovi who raises arms against them is felled with impunity by cymraic steel | |
