OK, before I forget. Hiitar's thoughts on getting D. out of gaol
Option 1: You don't have to like it, just do it. - Use forged orders to have him released into Hiitars custody. Probably the most effective, but the most risky. Orders like that would be hard to fake (?) and easy to check (?)
Option 2: Old Business - Hiitar will claim a blood feud between his family and that of D's. D's grandfather usurped Hiitar's grandfathers possession of some territory, betrayed them, ruined his family, that sort of thing. Hiitar has come to see D. before he dies; to gloat basically. Simpler, in that it is harder to check, and perhaps less of 'a big ask' to just be permitted to see D. Of course, it doesn't get D. out. That part will have to be improvised.
Ideally, Hiitar would have D. out before the attack starts. but failing that, if he can get to D. first, Hiitar can direct the others to the right place. Mind Lock? or something like that. One way or another, Thunder would need a way to home in on Wind.
If greasing palms is a fairly common part of Dominion life, Hiitar's going to ask the king for some jewelery and magical items. A +1 daggar is worth 2,000+ gp.
Hiitar will wear a long clock and broad brimmed hat that works to conceal his features. If he can't get both D. and himself out, perhaps he can get D. out as himself. Hat of disguise is probably a bit suspicious, if discovered. Even better would be to have 'a third member' who could conviniently be made to disappear, or who could be left in the cell in D's place. Anyone got any unwanted tame zombies lying around?
Some way of making D. invisible so he can be snuck out. Dust of Disappearance. Ring of Invisibilty. Problem is I seem to remember Isida saying they had beasties that could sniff out or see invisible creatures. Would be a sensible precaution in a fantasy goal I suppose.
Unleashed, what is Haedyn's alignment. Hiitar intends to ensure both characters have the same story. Alignment occured to me as something that might trip them up. We can work around a good alignment if necessary.
So, getting in, getting D. getting out. We need a rendevous point.
Thats about it for the moment.
