A long train of warriors and women, fighters and farmers crosses into Sclavenia. It is composed of the northern Rugi and their new Langobard allies. Scouts report the migrating tribe to number at least thirty thousand. They have no wish to battle the Slavs, as the Rugi remember their ferocity, and instead wish to cross the Danube into Roman territory.

If the Slavs turn away the Langobard Confederacy, they will be forced to either fight their way south, or head west following the path of least resistance. If allowed to pass through Sclavenia they will cross over into Roman Pannonia. Either way, the Sclavenian population will be free to move into the power vacuum formed by the migration, and the lands of the Rugi and Langobards will become Sclavenian.

The Confederacy passes peacefully through Sclavenia, paying fairly for all they consume on their passage. The travelling market of Slavs that accompany manage to acquire valuable amber at an excellent price, some of which is granted to Ivaylo as a gift worth 100 Aurei.

Some of the traders accompanying the Lombards choose to follow them as they board their precarious rafts to cross the Danube. Many families make some small profit exchanging Baltic luxuries for the materials and labour to make these rafts, and a quick profit is made by others buying up whatever supplies the Rugi and Lombards cannot fit into their vessels, this includes some horses, allowing for the provision of an additional 100 Slavic cavalry.

The Sclavenian traders following the Lombard Confederacy into Roman territory will provide excellent scouting into Roman territory, and may also provide access to Roman goods and equipment if the Lombards are successful in their travels.
