Siege of Triponzo

Military action

Several Alderni infantry cohorts are sent to retake Triponzo from the rebels that have seized control of the city. Expecting little resistance, they are met by a mixture of civilian militias and professional soldiers from free companies, hired by the city's merchants; the defence of the city is orchestrated by the mercenary captain Dracomallion Anaximander, who is proclaimed a hero by the rebels when he leads them to victory against the Alderni.
