He was still wracked by a fever and Taethle had sent to Portus Caester for a leæce as she believed that curing Osberht was now beyond Eadgyd’s skills. Taethle sat with the Brothers in the Thanes Hall. They discussed their current problems. To the west lay a British Warband which they had already estimated to be over 100 warriors. They were in agreement that this force would be difficult to defeat with their current strength of. To the east -
A few weeks ago, while reading through various books, I thought I saw a one page scenario for PKs to help pacify the Saxons after Badon, with a random table of the various defenders and defenses the PKs may meet.
