Meanwhile, some of Owein's men have installed a "scorpio" dart-thrower at the farm edge,
and begin shooting at the small fort.
The Lady watches the machine with approbation.
Other men lead a mysterious cart to a hill not far from the fort...
…and they build an onager!
Some Saxons come out of the fort to attack this machine, but they are charged and destroyed by some of Octavius cavalry.
At the other end of the table, a small group of mounted Picts is coming.
Some SubRoman British cavalrymen go to meet them.
The Picts come in peace, and are escorted to the farm. They seem to have some diplomacy in mind.
Nobody will help the Saxons today!
Fightings in the woods near the farm.
Cavalrymen of Octavius charge the bigger Saxon group, go back, charge again…
each time a few Saxons fell, they cannot defend themselves effectively because some of Owein's infantry is on the flanks.
The other Saxon group, facing Owein's cavalry, decides to quit the table.
"Owein map Riwalaon" feels victory is near.
The onager still throw projectiles on the fort, without much effect…
…but the main body of the SubRoman British army walks to the fort!
They bring a cart full of dry wood, to set fire to the doors!
Not many Saxons are still alive in the fort; they cannot do anything,
the scorpio and the bowmen shoot at them if they appear on the battlements.
The desperate Saxon chief asks to fight a duel with Owein.
Owein accepts; all warriors form a circle to watch the fight.
Owein and the Saxon chief fight with courage.
Behind Owein, a celtic bard and a christian priest are chanting and praying…
Is there something in the chant, and the praying?
(it seems that Owein gains a slight advantage …to the dice…)The Saxon chief is wounded and he must surrender.
