[X] Plan Moving Forward
-[X] Turn and march immediately for Nola, in order to reinforce Sertorius and the Hirpini in the siege.
-[X] Sell them into slavery, both increasing your own personal coffers and gaining more money for the legion.
-
-
[X] Plan Celeritas et Clementia
-[X] Reassign able-bodied men from the Second Cohort to fill out the other cohorts' ranks. Transfer walking wounded who cannot keep pace or fight effectively to the Second, in like number.
-[X] Send Pompolussa, what remains of the Second Cohort, Himatus and his men back to Bovianum along with all the wounded, to ensure the supply train stays secured. Task them with keeping an ear out for Tercerian in case he tries to attack Bovianum or attempts to aid the rebels in Nola by attacking your cohorts from the rear.
-[X] Inform the captured rebels that they will be forgiven for following Gemino and allowed to return to their homes, on two conditions. Any who do not swear to these two conditions have refused Rome's clemency, and will be sold into slavery.
--[X] Firstly, the captives will receive a scarring notch on their right earlobe. If any man so marked ever abuses Rome's clemency by standing in her way again, that man will be crucified.
--[X] Secondly, the captives must convey a message to their home villages: Bovianum bent the knee to Rome. On that day, Bovianum chose to meet Rome's open hand. Gemino, in his arrogance, persecuted Bovianum. On that day, Gemino chose to face Rome's sword hand. The sword has fallen. Gemino is dead. Soon, the legion will return. All villages that bend the knee to Rome will not be harmed, as Bovianum was not harmed. All those thieves and bandits who have persecuted those villages will be destroyed by the sword of Rome, as I have destroyed Gemino. Wherever those who persecute the villages may be, and however strong they may appear, they will be destroyed. Remember, and beware!
-[X] With the rest of the cohorts (excepting the rump of the Second), slightly filled out by troops drawn from the Second, march immediately to Nola in order to reinforce Sertorius and the Hirpini in the siege.

[X] Plan Hearts, Minds & the Legion's purse
-[x] Send Mercator and the 7th cohort immediately back to Nola, he is to inform Sertorius of your success, thank him for the assistance provided and inform him that you plan to follow soon.
-[x] Send Pompolussa's 2nd and the 6th cohort, together with all the wounded, ahead to Bovianum to better tend to the injured, and ensure that the supply lines stay secured until you return from the western towns.
-[x] Take the 3rd & 9th cohorts as well as the Gallic auxiliaries to pacify the western towns that supported Gemino, and ensure that the entire region is solidly under Roman control.
-[x] March the captives back to the western towns, there you offer their families a chance to ransom them at affordable rates. This offer only extends to those you determine to having recently been levied from the western towns. The rest are to be sold as slaves.
