Rescue of Arael

Upon learning from Watch Sergeant Varis Gondriu that Arael was to be taken to Citadel Rivas, home to the Order of the Rack Hellknights, within scant days, the Adventuring Party set to work with Janiven on putting together a plan to attempt a rescue. The decision was made to waylay the prison wagon outside the city, about halfway between Westcrown and the Citadel, at a small bridge crossing a narrow, fast creek.

The plan had two parts: first, Janiven and her associates from the Avengers of Westcrown would drawn off the mounted Hellknight armigers to split the prison wagn defenders. Then, the Adventuring Party would attack the remaining Hellknights and retreive Arael. The attack went as planned an, although Hellknight resistance was stiff, the guards were all killed, but Arael was retrieved unharmed. Lucien, a tiefling thief, was also captured and later interrogated.
