To speed things up I would like to use Porcius from Galo's introduction posts to get the new gladiator Marcus Didius into the story asap. He isn't tied down to a scene and I am going to assume that he has already given his report to his boss, which would only have taken a minuet. I'll be roping in a couple of nameless NPC guards while I am at it. That all right with everyone? Given the ok, I should be able to do that tomorrow.
