Shadow Versus Shadow - Battle with the Red Witch

For a long time now, Abellinda's men, The Shadow Blades, have been fighting against the forces of Angmar that have begun to corrupt Bree-land. Though the Heirs of Ruin are no longer at the peak of their power, they do remain held together by Nalokha, The Red Witch of Angmar. Known best for destroying many powerful organizations within the peaceful lands of Eriador.

Acelin Elion, a long time member of the Shadow Blades has been one of the unseen, yet important folks involved in stopping Nalokha.  His investigations amongst the underworld of Bree, brought him to a higher-up in a, less relevant, uprising of brigands - Ceou. And he quickly recruited her on board as a spy against Nalokha.

It wasn't too long before she ended up making contact with Nalokha in a safehouse in Stockrest, Bree-land homesteads. Acelin's trust was placed well, and she reported the witches location, and the name of a man, Rellas (Who wished to become Nalokha's champion) to the Shadow Blades during a crowded award ceremony. Abellinda rallied her men on the spot and rode for Stockrest, to find the doors locked tightly from the inside, and the witch either gone, or locked inside.

From then they met up with their ally, Tylan, and his men from the Covenant of Steel, Thayalengir and a few of his friends, and their spy, Ceou. Stockrest was under constant watch, day in and day out for many weeks. Eventually, the house was entered, to find a bloody mess and no witch. The search continues.
