[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7898115, member: 6853819"] That works with some minor tweaks to Pallas' story. If I can presume a little geography as well. Beta is closest to the pass, so they are expected to hold it, but the other pollis are all sending reinforcements as fast as possible (ie a unit of younger soldier who can move faster) while they muster a larger allied army. Gamma is the next closest (so Pallas arrives with the first group of reinforcements). With the politics, this fast unit comprises almost entirely of Alpha alliance supporters, with a few well placed Beta Alliance conspirators. The Gamma unit is placed forward as a guard but betrayed when the attack comes as Beta attacks the retreating Gamma unit in the rear. Because they have orders to send a runner, this gives Pallas a reason to run from the battle without shame. Wounded, he runs into the front group from Alpha but is too delirious to pass on the message. He wakes up in the field hospital with Penelope tending his wounds and can hear screaming from outside the tent. Which is a determined attack by Beta and Gamma to destroy the Alpha unit before anyone escapes. Opening up Pallas' first vow to warn Alpha of the impending treachery. [/QUOTE]
