She has no part in Burnt Offering, but in my game she is going to be more useful than usual.....
During last session my PCs were all taken captive and stripped of everything by Thistletop goblins since they were too slow in Nettlewood and gave the enemy time to prepare a super ambush in the building.
The party is composed of an aasimar druid,two humans cavalier and barbarian and a tiefling rogue.
The rogue talked Nualia into letting her go (naked) in exchange for another captive,which she is supposed to lure in Nualia's hands,and Bruthazmus asked for Shalelu.
Of course i wouldn't have allowed for Shalelu to be so easily captured but needed some idea for the party's rescue mission..
Nualia kept the other PCs hostages and said her sentinels will guard the road, and that she wants to see the rogue coming back with Shalelu asap, both un-armed and un-armored and no one else.
I'm planning also to use Orik as a hook for the rescue from inside, but meanwhile Shalelu asked for help to Ameiko and Koya.
I'm planning to use Ameiko and Koya as baits when the time comes;they will walk along the road disguised as the party rogue and Shalelu.....while the elf searchs and kills the sentinels in stealth.
But to do this i had to re-create Ameiko's stats, since i don't like that one level in aristocrat and RotR gives no real sheet for her.

Fun! At their higher level, they should be able to be fairly effective. There's also the possibility due to poor goblin tactics, that the prisoners may be left 'unattended' for brief periods of time that roll with a rescue attempt. They are pretty disorganized and Nualia has other important things to distract her from keeping them in line.
