Session IX: Nothing Like A Reminder Of Death In The Morning Report

The Custodes, having eluded their pursuers, begin making their way back to Roman territory, intending to report back at Augusta Trevororum as Pertinax had requested. They decided to take advantage of the situation and push along the main roads, coming across a village. Saorise entered in order to get supplies and directions and returned with both as well as the idea that maybe not everyone on this side of the Limes is as hostile to the Romans as they had thought. In relatively friendly territory and with no sign of pursuit, the Custodes make camp the following day in order for Aeneas and Theo to rest up. On the third day, the Custodes wake to the clearing they set up camp in suddenly being in the midst of autumn, full of old Roman skeletons, and decorated with a spear piercing three eagles. Aeneas identified the omen as identifying the area as the Teutoburg Forest, site of one of Rome's greatest defeats at the hands of the Germani, and the Custodes were surprised by a visit by a fey being that warned of further bloodshed to come.
