Daniel's overarching plan is to free his people from Roman captivity. However, in Chapter 18, Malthace tells Daniel that Joel was taken captive by the Romans. Malthace explains to Daniel that they are taking the prisoners east in the morning to the galleys, and Joel will be traveling with them. Daniel hikes up the mountain and hopes that Rosh will help save Joel, but much to Daniel's dismay, Rosh refuses to get involved. Daniel quits Rosh's gang and meets with the other boys in the watchtower to discuss how he plans to get Joel back. Daniel tells the boys that they cannot afford to fight the Romans, and explains that instead of fighting, they will travel south, beyond Magdala, and wait at the pass near Arbela. He says that they will spread out along the cliff and throw rocks down at the unsuspecting Roman caravan as it passes through the narrow valley. Daniel plans to slip out into the valley and free Joel from his shackles while the Romans are attempting to dodge the stones that the boys are throwing from the cliff. Daniel's plan does not go as expected, but thanks to Samson and Nathan, Joel is free, and Daniel escapes with his life.
