At sunrise you will set off for old Camp Romanus, a day’s march to the south.  You will have two days to restore her defenses sufficient to withstand an attack from another camp’s recruits.  They will have two hundred and forty men, more than triple your number, because it is easier to defend a fort than attack it.  Instant Golf Slice Cure weapons will be wooden swords, and every soldier will carry a dipper of red ocher.  Strike your enemy in a vital area with the paint and you’ve got a kill.  Five observers will accompany each group.”    The harsh rays of the dying sun were now replaced by the soft light of the rising moon, and with it came a chilling breeze.
