This quest appears only for those who completed [[Save the Refugees]] with the tiefling refugees and the [[Druid Grove]] protected. Within the Last Light Inn, [[Cerys]] explains that their caravan was ambushed by cultists who killed many of the refugees and kidnapped some others, while only a few were able to escape to Last Light. She explains that while this happened, Zevlor froze and betrayed them, saying they should all surrender. Speaking to [[Alfira]] reveals that [[Lakrissa]] was captured, Rolan reveals that [[Lia]] and [[Cal]] were lost, and [[Bex]] reveals [[Danis]] was captured. | This quest appears only for those who completed [[Save the Refugees]] with the tiefling refugees and the [[Druid Grove]] protected.

The entrance to the prison is east of the audience chamber, or it can be accessed outside by the docks. From the stairs entrance to the prison, go west and there is a hallway with prison cells. Move northwest and the tieflings are in the second cell to the right. | ||

The party can choose to follow Wulbren's plan to escape, which involves giving him an object that can smash rocks. This can be any item that causes bludgeoning damage, such as a generic [[Mace]]. [[Wulbren's Hammer]] | The party can choose to follow Wulbren's plan to escape, which involves giving him an object that can smash rocks. This can be any item that causes bludgeoning damage, such as a generic [[Mace]]. [[Wulbren's Hammer]] {{Coords|574|-646}} can be found by climbing up the iron ladder in [[The Warden|The Warden's]] office. This area is guarded by a scrying eye and is considered trespassing, so the party has to either sneak or deceive/bribe their way out of being sent to jail. If the party gets Wulbren's hammer specifically, he's extremely grateful, as he had assumed he'd never see it again. | ||
Once a bludgeoning weapon has been acquired, go back to Wulbren and talk to him. This initiates a trade screen where the item can be "donated" to Wulbren. Agree to the trade and either tell Wulbren to start or tell him to wait until the party is ready. If a long rest or fast travel occurs at this point, the gnomes begin the escape without the party. If the party is simply standing around when Wulbren breaks the wall, the guards become hostile and combat starts. | Once a bludgeoning weapon has been acquired, go back to Wulbren and talk to him.

Climbing the ledge leads to the back area of the cells, for both the gnomes {{Coords|568|-612}} and the tieflings {{Coords|600|-617}}. Have two characters who can break the walls down with Force damage and one who can cast [[Darkness]]. Split the party up so that two characters are by the boat {{Coords|575|-576}} and ready to attack the brittle chains, one is by the tiefling wall, and one is by the gnome wall. Attack both walls until they're nearly destroyed. Attack the gnome's wall and when Wulbren yells "RUN!" walk into the cell and cast Darkness. Then run to the boat to aid the characters breaking the chains while the character at the tiefling wall breaks it down and runs to the boat as well. When all the prisoners are at the boat, speak to Wulbren and accompany him to his next destination. | ||
The party can suggest going to [[Last Light Inn]] if they've already been there. If the party has not, then selecting "I don't - but I'll join you on the boat. We'll see where we end up." sends the prisoners to the Last Light and the party gets a scene similar to what they'd get from entering Last Light for the first time. | The party can suggest going to [[Last Light Inn]] if they've already been there.

An easy way to do this is to murder the Warden in her office, then wait. Enemies patrolling nearby will intermittently walk in and can be slowly picked off. Once they're all dead and the Scrying Eyes killed, give Wulbren his hammer and the prisoners can safely escape without a worry of enemies. | ||
It's possible for the tieflings and gnomes to become separated; if the tieflings take more than three turns to arrive at the boat after Wulbren has already hammered it free, then the gnomes will depart without them. The tieflings will attempt to leave out the side door of the prison, a long and treacherous path that also includes Absolutist zealots and adepts stationed on the outside perimeter of the towers. | It's possible for the tieflings and gnomes to become separated; if the tieflings take more than three turns to arrive at the boat after Wulbren has already hammered it free, then the gnomes will depart without them.

In the middle of the inn, speak with Alfira and Cerys (if she survived); if enough tieflings survived, then the party will be rewarded with [[Potent Robe]]. Further behind the bar the reunited Lia, Cal, and Rolan can be found. Finally, beneath the bridge leading north of the inn, down the steps behind the ox stables, Bex and Danis can be met. Once having spoken to all three of these groups (assuming they survived), this quest will end. | ||

While this quest is not limited by long rests, it is worth noting there is a story limitation on the quest. If [[Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic]] is completed, then once the party returns from the [[Shadowfell]], this quest automatically ends. When this happens, the quest says that the other prisoners were never found. | While this quest is not limited by long rests, it is worth noting there is a story limitation on the quest.
