The Road's Edge

The Road's Edge is the first battle in the prologue of .
== Dialogue ==
:Count Caldwell rode at the column's head, scanning it's flanks with a wary eye that, despite his advanced age proved very sharp indeed... 
:Caldwell: Your majesty! Bandits! There, at the tree line.
:The count's footmen, unaccustomed to escorting their queen, sought to shield her with their bodies, and assumed a tight formation to do so. They were promptly knocked aside as Meve charged headlong at the bandits, brandishing her blade and bellowing a ferocious cry.
:Meve: Attack! Charge!
=== After the battle: ===
:"Ahem. Matters seem indeed to have gotten out of hand. To put it mildly," Meve said, arms crossed atop her shining breastplate.
:"They've grown bold - doubtless after the raid on the manor, the tax collectors. I've not heard of an ambush on the highroad afore," Caldwell explained, avoiding his liege's wrathful gaze.
:"Enough, Caldwell. We must put things right. Come!"
:The queen's retinue set out, cavalry in front, infantry and arbalists close behind, and, following in the rear, the bandits, bound in chains.
== Entry ==
Meve was convinced the bandits would flee to the cover of the forest upon realizing their grave mistake. After all, no ordinary bandit would dare attack the retinue of a queen. Yet the Strays of Spalla were of a different breed. They held nothing sacred...
