The Third Day of the Third Month
I have received another report from Centarch Howl.
Sir Guy, whom Howl defeated for the tournament championship, received a warrant for Howl's arrest from the King of Chevalia. The charge is witchcraft - specifically using a magically enchanted weapon during the tournament.
Howl and the other legionaries who participated in the tournament were marching to the coast, where they would take a ship back to the Empire. Sir Guy, with warrant in hand, managed to steal a march on them. On an isolated stretch of road, Guy and his retinue blocked the legionaries' path.
"Howl!" Sir Guy cried out. I have a warrant for your arrest on the charge of witchcraft. You will drop your weapons and come peaceably to stand trial!"
Naturally, Howl declined this invitation.
With his refusal, Sir Guy called his troops to charge!
Howl and the legionaries prepared to defend themselves. What followed was a bloody scrum. Both sides hacked and slashed with a fury. It seemed that whenever the combatants fell, they managed to pick themselves up and return to the fray.
Howl took some wounds, but his troops rallied to protect him. By this time, Guy was bloodied, and frustrated that he could not get at Howl. Guy challenged Howl to a one-on-one duel but the legionaries refused to let Howl fight alone.
Ultimately, Guy took a hard knock. Down he went.

With that, his minions fled. The Legion could continue its journey from Chevalia.
Aftermath
I do not know what this altercation bodes for the relations between Chevalia and the Empire. I fear that it will lead to bloodshed. Nevertheless, the Legion will never fail to protect its own.
GAME NOTES
- This was an impromptu scenario I devised, feeding off the results of the tournament. Our joke about his new, super-light great weapon is now official lore!
- The scenario was essentially Kill the King. Howl and I were "kings," each with 3 lives. Our comrades had infinite spawns, using their "king" as the spawn point.
