This is the Second Parts Report which Involved the other half of our FC for the night..
Upon receiving orders on the operation for the evening Bard's team would strike out to the rendezvous point based on the north bridge near the Pall of Clarity. There they would meet an nine man contingent located on the bridge with Skjall Arkwright at the lead. Carmen would note right away that Skjall seemed to have what looked like a pistol beneath his cloak and several strange boxes located in certain areas of the bridge. Skjall's men seemed a bit on edge and wary. Bard would then tell the rest of the team to hold fast as he would make his way over to meet his brother at the center. There they exchanged pleasantries that quickly devolved into a heated argument. It would be at this point where everything about the mission would unravel.
Sigmund took note of three more of Skjall's men appear from the rear with their guns pointing at the backs of the group. Skjall himself would heavily back hand Bard with a gun blade he quickly drew out from beneath his robes and would toss the Knight Commander over the edge of the bridge. Carmen would sprint up to the side of the bridge in a desperate attempt to rescue Bard only to have her husband lose grip on the ledge and plummet down into the river below. As of the writing of this mission report no known evidence of Bard's body has been discovered. His whereabouts and whether or not he is alive is currently unknown.
The rest of the group would engage in heavy fighting as the ambush party led by Skjall moved in to attack. Sigmund locked blades with the traitorous Arkwright and would for the most part be on the receiving end of the battle. Skjall's gun blade abilities would prove to be too much for the stalwart Paladin to handle. Aelin would demonstrate a mastery of defensive techniques as multiple opponents would assail her at the same time without finding any openings to find purchase. Carmen's violent reaction to Bard's fall would manifest in a bloodthirsty melee as she would skewer Shamus, Skall's second in command, and subsequently tear out the man's still beating heart from his chest. Selene would single handedly incinerate the three guards to the groups rear creating an avenue of retreat.
The four of them would fight valorously, though ultimately futile. Sigmund's injuries had become too great to bear and would eventually make him stumble and fall. Aelin was hard pressed against the numerous numbers managing to only be for the most part on the defense, while Carmen would make multiple attempts to strike down Skjall. Though the once thought ally's acrobatic skills would win out the day. Skjall would use Carmen's anger against her by taking her down and kidnapping her once he had taken Sigmund down. Selene would drag the Paladin back where he would recover in time to see Carmen being dragged away by Skjall while his men covered the retreat. Aelin would remain behind to fight off the remaining soldiers, while Selene would pull Sigmund back to safety.
With the aftermath of the battle it was determined that Skjall was in league with the Garlean Empire the whole time, and compromising the base of operations for the Knights of Eorzea. Calling in on Ryslo team they would be able to recover the remaining members of Bard's party and beat a hasty retreat back to Castrum Oriens.
