Rescue at Flintmaw Redoubt, 17-18 Eleasias

After tracking Ryder and Allora East from Fate's Haven, the search party discovered Flintmaw Redoubt, and investigated, finding evidence that the pair had been captured.

Storming the Outpost

The party attacked by day, making their way inside the base and fighting through Goblins and Humans on the North side of the complex, eventually finding three prison cells guarded by a Shadar-Kai and two Shadow Mastiffs.

Freeing the Prisoners

As the group enter the holding area they see Ryder, in his underclothes in the cell to the left. His face battered, bruised and a bloody mess. In the right hand cell, separated from each other, Allora, also in her torn clothes, with a bruised and bloodied face. She is holding the hand of a ginger-haired halfling in the top cell between the bars.
He is wearing a simple cloth and the torn, burnt tatters of Ryders cloak wrapped around him. He is shivering and scared. Ryder and Allora are exhausted.

The party set the three prisoners free, and try to convince them to leave, but they refuse, saying they need to retrieve plans elsewhere in the base, detailing another planned assaut on Fate's Haven. As well as this, they have a helmet of teleportation with one use remaining, which can transport the party home quickly and without leaving a trail back to the city.
Some of the party have moral quandaries about attacking any further, while others are wary but willing to go on. Ryder and Allora give them the opportunity to turn back, but state they will be attacking, regardless.

Retrieving the Attack Plans

After a short rest, the party all advance, with Ryder teleporting ahead (passing a spike-lined pit) to scout while the other members double back to get through the base from an earlier split in the corridor.
The party face powerful Drow Mages within, as well as a number of Hobgoblins. Once the enemies are cleared, they clear the rest of the outpost, dispatching of a hoard mimic which guards Ryder & Allora's belongings, and a group of Goblin commoners.
In the south-most part of the outpost, the plans for attack are found.

Finn finds a series of detailed maps, all laid out on an unused altar. They very clearly denote Fate's Haven, ideal weak spots, best attack routes, areas where troops can hide and assemble without being noticed.
She gathers them up quickly in preperation for heading back.
"Well... looks like I have the plans. I think Volane would like these as a gift..." Finn murmurs quietly to herself, putting them all in her bag.

The party rest, gather together, and teleport back to Fate's Haven, bringing Mardon Sunbridge with them.

"Okay, come in close." Allora gathers everyone around her and focuses on the helmet, and a bright blue light gathers around everyone assembled....
