Council of Thieves: Bastards of Erebus Hell Knights


Advice


So, I was reading the aforementioned adventure path and have decided to make a campaign following this book. Seems relatively straightforward in how to go about this campaign. However, there is only one question I would like answered if at all possible, does the normal Hell Knight bestiary stat block work for this campaign? I was unable to find within the book a stat block for Hell Knights. It gives the stat block for the Armigers, but not the Hell Knights. However, when I looked at the Hell Knights stat blocks from the bestiary, there is a bit of discrepancy regarding them. The stat block (for NPC Hell Knight (Human Fighter 5/Hell Knight 6)) states that the Hell Knights have Pentamic Faith as a discipline, which is supposed to be for order of the godclaw hell knights, not the order of the rack in which the hell knights in bastards of erebus are supposed to be from. Should I just use the stat block as is except for just changing pentamic faith to another, more appropriate discipline? Or is there a more appropriate stat block I should be using for the Hell Knights for this part of the adventure path?

For further background, I am referring to the "first" potential encounter the PCs could have just after starting the campaign. It is just after they listen to the recruitment speech from Janiven at Vizio's Tavern. "There are six Hellknights and a dozen armigers (new inductees in the organization that serve the Hellknights as squires and porters) in the streets surrounding Vizio’s Tavern. They are numerous and heavily armed, and further bolstered by a reputation for ruthlessness and strict adherence to their own charter to strike down all suspected rebels." The campaign states that this would be the first encounter for the PCs if they don't side with Janiven and decide to stay and either "talk" things out with the Hell Knights or try to fight them off. Knowing my group, this is a very real and potential thing to happen and I just want to be thoroughly prepared.

Thanks for the time and consideration folks.
