Continued Methodios' march south in Arabia.
While scouting ahead of his forces, he stumbled upon a small Fatimid stack led by a general and a small rebel stack.

Engaged both, one after the other. Killed the Fatimid general.
Scored a Clear and a Heroic victory. Lost half the BG in the two fights.

Methodios got two new monikers in the same turn : first "the Champion" on attacking the Fatimids and "the Conqueror" on defeating the rebels.

Rest of the army caught up with Methodios and continued advance on Medina, heavily defended (about two stacks with a lot of javelinmen and javelin cavalry)

Moved Cairo fleet south to engage Fatimid fleet.

With the Megas' permission, moved our 2 spies in the area into Medina to prepare for the upcoming siege situation. (one got a +1 Xp)
