We have zero cavalry and only a few foot skirmishers to take on a barbarian horde in hostile territory. The Aedui are beleaguered on all sides, the Arverni are hostile.

Oh joy.

To my fellow Quaestors of the 10th, 8th and 13th Legions: Do you think we should make a deal with the Arverni for some cavalrymen and troops that know the terrain?
