Necdum Spiritum Romanus: Phase 0 [The Invasion]
The township is not suited to defend itself against a mass of barbarians. There's no mountains or water nearby for a defensive position. There's no elaborate bridge that can be cut off, and the main way into town is just a simple dirt path. Matter of fact, there's no walls. Every building on the outer perimeter of the city is completely vulnerable. Yet, this place is the home to these men. Whether they've lived here all their lives, or have only been situated here for a few months for one reason or another, this is where they choose to meet their end. Anyways, there's no time to make it to any other city or township, as the roving bands of barbarians on the road will hack apart any lone soul trying to navigate his way through. This is it.
The 30-or-so men have arranged themselves into various positions and duties. A brave dozen have decided that they will form the first immediate line of defense. At the moment, each found themselves busy in preparation. Dalen checked the flexibility of his Bow. Anders helped Carl Anderson transport his Ballista to the flat roof of a house. Bigus of Dickus was just standing there and smiling, as always. That mercenary was always beaming with joy and pride, though no one could tell why. Maybe he was proud of his large estate, or perhaps his wife had delivered another beautiful child. Anyways, these dozen defenders were the first ones to hear the sound of the horn. It was not the sound of a traditional Roman horn, but one that producing a bellowing, blood-curdling, exotic audible note. From the horizon, a line of asymmetrical shapes appeared, and with each passing second, these shapes became bigger, and took on more tangible forms. The sound of hundreds of screams combined with stampeding feet and hooves came together into a choir of hellish noise. The first line yelled out to their reserves, the latter of which ran further into the town to evacuate the civilians. They would reappear later, to replace those that would fall.
Each man took up his allocated position on the edge of the town. Though they put on a facade of solemness or anger, each was truly terrified, anxious, and sudden reflective on his life. Yet they didn't run, for they were truly courageous men.
As the first wave of the Barbarians charged into the city, each defender took his move. The dance of the Last Stand had begun.

Execution (Passive) - The Executioner serves to perform the coup de' grace on soldiers that are already hurt and injured. He gets a Bonus to Combat relative to the extent of the Health of his Target; the worse their Health is, the bigger his Bonus is. For example, he gets a +1 against someone who is lightly bleeding, +3 against someone with a broken or missing limb, and up to a +5 when Attacking someone that's Unconscious.Inventory:
Double-Sided Axe - A traditional weapon of experienced barbarians are their large, two-handed axes with an edge on either side. The Executioner prefers going for the head or the neck with this weapon.
Curved Blade - The Executioner's alternate weapon is the single-handed curved sword, which he performs decapitations with.
Black Cloak - An ominous outfit which fits over the Executioner's body. No Roman is sure whether it's made from traditional animal skins, or was looted from Rome.

The fact that he is as fast and brutal as any other Barbarian does not help quell fears.

Stunning Blow (Passive) - Even the lightest attack from the Colossus will send a Roman flying. Once you're hit, it will take some time to recover to attack once again. Players that are hit by the Colossus will be unable to Attack their following turn, (They will still be able to Attack via Counter-Attack and Guarding though.)Easy Target - Despite the advantages gained from towering over all other men, being big does mean that you're easier to hit from a distance. -1 to Defending against all Projectiles.Inventory:

Cestus - The Cestus are similar to boxing-gloves, tied to the Gladiator's opposite hand, except instead of being made to reduce the damage of a punch, the Cestus increases the bloodshed as its outer-part is covered in a multitude of sharp spikes to rip apart flesh and muscle.
Lorica Squamata Pellis - Armor designed similarly to soldiers, except it is made from leather rather than metal. While it offers less protection in this manner, it gives the Gladiator more agility and flexibility. Less armored and lacking a shield, Gladiators rely on dodging and parrying to defend themselves, as well as a fighting style of relentless offense to ensure their opponent never gets to attack.
