*In the kingdom of Arnon, in the city of Lux, a significant battle took place between the forces of Appolonia and the kingdom's army. Appolonia, a young leader who was taken by the priests at a tender age, had managed to establish a formidable empire through her strategic prowess and charismatic leadership. However, the battle of Lux proved to be a turning point for her as she was captured and imprisoned by the kingdom's forces. News of Appolonia's capture reached the ears of the 14 priests who had mentored her throughout her life. They were deeply saddened and knew they had to act swiftly to save their beloved leader. These priests, known as Peter, Magnus, James, Leroy, Barvitus, Almus, Drostan, Conval, Moluag, Catahn, Leiferik, Eamon Makiod, Faelan Uladh, and John Minster, were determined to rescue Appolonia and help her regain her freedom. Knowing that the kingdom of Arnon would be on high alert after Appolonia's defeat, the priests devised a carefully planned operation. They gathered intelligence, assessed the city's defenses, and studied the layout of the jail where Appolonia was being held. Under the cover of darkness, the priests embarked on their mission. They divided into teams and discreetly made their way into the city, taking advantage of their knowledge of the local area and the guards' routines. Each team had a specific role to play in the operation, utilizing their individual skills and expertise.Peter, Magnus, and James formed one team tasked with neutralizing the guards at the jail's main entrance. Using their knowledge of the city's layout, they approached stealthily, avoiding any unnecessary confrontations. With precise coordination, they swiftly incapacitated the guards, ensuring no alarms were raised. Meanwhile, Leroy, Barvitus, and Almus infiltrated the jail's interior to locate and extract Appolonia. They moved silently through the corridors, avoiding detection and overcoming any obstacles they encountered. Their primary objective was to reach Appolonia's cell and bring her to safety. Drostan, Conval, and Moluag took up positions outside the jail, strategically placing themselves to cover any potential escape routes. Their task was to provide support and ensure the safe passage of the rescue team, acting as a distraction if necessary.

They discreetly obtained a wagon and horses, ensuring it was ready and waiting at a pre-arranged location outside the city. As the operation progressed, the priests encountered unexpected challenges. Three of the priests, Leroy, Barvitus, and Conval, were tragically killed during a confrontation with a particularly vigilant guard. Their sacrifices weighed heavily on the remaining priests, but they pressed on, knowing the importance of their mission. Despite the loss, the remaining priests successfully reached Appolonia's cell and swiftly freed her from captivity. They moved swiftly and quietly, aware that any delay or mistake could jeopardize their escape. With Appolonia now by their side, the priests made their way to the pre-arranged location where the getaway wagon awaited. The priests used their knowledge of the city to avoid detection and successfully reached the rendezvous point. Once reunited with their leader, the priests and Appolonia made their escape, fleeing the city of Lux under cover of darkness.
