The next rescue attempt on Ulric Typhonus was to be undertaken by Gustavo Anahera with a large number of people. Maximillian Typhonus, Liam Typhonus, Marek Dredros, Thurinor Algarebon, Jared Silverhand and Abrog Ironmonger form Team A to sneak into the castle and break out Ulric. Graeton Pileran, Kyel Tinker, Zvonimir Tinker, Heinrich Tinker, Dimitri Vernay, Grey Draegen, Kristoph Amsel and Aron Santorski form Team B group one and Rhoghash Ironmonger, Malikar Gro-Arzuk, Roklah Ironmonger, Gorthak Ironmonger, Nilrem Ironomonger, Ook Ironmonger and Chalden the Dahss form Team B group two.
Group one and two of Team B were supposed to start their bombardment of the front gate, though cannon fire only comes from one side. Group one shoots their cannons a couple of times before they give up, as none of them are trained or otherwise versed in cannon usage. The canons of group two remain silent. Group two has meanwhile simply left, Chalden was the last one left in the group, though he decided to cut his losses and get away as well, following the Orcs who simply left.
Group one then clashed against the front gates as was ordered, despite the fact that they did not break through the front, causing them to be fired at by both arrow and magic. Zvonimir Tinker suddenly started playing music, causing further confusion among those fighting. The battle was obviously lost, Graeton Pileran received a cut on his forearm, Kyel Tinker's hair was singed off, Zvonimir Tinker got an arrow lodged in his right arm, Kristoph Amsel was hit by a falling brick on the head and fell to the floor bloodied and with a cracked skull, Dimitri Vernay was similarly hit with a rock on his shoulder and broke his collar bone and Frey Draegen was hit with an arrow in the his right upper leg. The group then attempted to limp away, allowing the Qadir to turn their attention on what was clearly to come.
Team A did not succeed in avoiding discovery when entering the castle. Somehow when they were focussed on getting in, Abrog Ironmonger just disappeared. Added by this confusion over their missing member and the increased presence of Qadir, Jared's scouting was unable to secure a Qadir free route to the prison. The group was soundly defeated in battle as the Qadir simply overwhelmed them with numbers. Gustavo Anahera was cut in the back while attempting to run and Maximillian Typhonus's arm was slashed and suffered a severe wound with profuse bleeding. The group decided there and then to run as quickly as they could.
Neither groups manage to escape without being detected on their way out, though they manage to come together at least outside the walls. Through some miracle, they manage to defeat the Qadir who went after them, eventually causing the rest to back off and letting the groups try to get away. Further attempts made by cavalry to run down the groups are unsuccessful and they reach the Valorian ship to retreat to safety, never running into the Orcs again.
The second rescue attempt is undertaken by William Coen, leading Teciv Uriomir, Alea Ash and Ichabod Duarte in as the rescue group, and Kemion Alvaris, Sebastian Ferell, Tonkim Stonebreaker and Jack Achard as distraction. As planned, the distraction group causes as much noise as possible, though only end up looking like a bunch of mage fools casting magic outside of the walls. Still, the Qadir come out to fight them and they are soundly lost, having no backup to actually being forced into a physical fight with a large number of Qadir. Tonkin Stonebreaker is shot with an arrow when trying to hurl a boulder, not only having the arrow lodged into his shoulder, but also having himself being near crushed by the boulder he tried to hurl. The others avoid injury.
The rescue group is meanwhile discovered and forced to fight, despite Alea Ash and Tevic Uriomir's attempts to sneak their way past the guards. During the fighting, Alea Ash throws one of her scimitars at a Qadir, who promptly dodges it, causing the Scimitar to tumble further trough a doorway, down a staircase and eventually smashing against a series of gunpowder crates, causing a spark as the metal hits the stone, igniting the gunpower. A giant explosion rips trough the castle, blasting apart the entire barracks and cracking open the prison. Christoper Black is taken by Ichabod Duarte on his back while Damian Teach and Trent Thorpe are each given a dagger to help in their escape. The group quickly runs back to their escape way, though when walking up a staircase are discovered by the Qadir. When the Qadir start mounting the staircase, Tevic Uriomir turns around and kicks Trent Thorpe and Damian Teach down the staircase, causing them to tumble into the Qadir and allowing the group to escape with Christopher. Trent Thorpe and Damian Teach are obviously captured again.
When outside, the two groups meet up, but are quickly ran down by the Qadir horse riders. Tevic once more turns around, throwing his blade at the distraction team, who quickly try to evade the blade as it comes towards them, jumping to the floor while the blade hits one of the horsemen behind them. The horses panic and stumble over the people now laying on the floor, causing the entire chase crew to fall over. The rescue team gets away with Christopher Black, and only Sebastian Ferell of the distraction team manages to escape the Qadir's capture.
Christopher Black's imprisonment slot has now been replaced with Damian Teach, accompanied by Trent Thorpe, Kemion Alvaris, Tonkim Stonebreaker and Jack Achard. The Qadir severely reduce the security on this prison because Christopher Black has been broken out, and move it to the prison that holds Ulric.
In Regalia meanwhile, several hours after both rescue attempts, large carts carrying the Imperial treasury are seen loading cargo onto ships and sailing due west, eventually the Kade flagship the Laridae also sails past with the Crown Prince and the Imperial family on board save a few. Several hours later, large numbers of military supplies and soldiers board ships as well sailing in westward direction with little to no message about why so much material is leaving the Imperial city, though news does come in from the Kingdom of Lusits and the Daenshore Governate that the Lusits army and the Daendroquin defence forces have been fully mobilized, and that the Orcs are also sending raiding groups to Daenshore to be shipped to Regalia for the war. It still leaves the city's inhabitants uneasy that the Crown Prince and the administration effectively left, taking with them the Imperial treasury and most of the Imperial documents and treaties. The last message to come trough from the Laridae is short and simple.
"The Arch-Chancellor has been sacked. The State Council has full control now."
