After you kill the first boss and enter the room thereafter (The Gauntlet), you start the 55minute countdown for the first execution.
There are 3 Prisoners.
After the 55minutes are up, Prisoner #1 is executed.
After that, you get another 10minute countdown for Prisoner #2.
After that, you get a 3rd countdown of 15minutes for the last and final Prisoner #3.
If you're doing the quest for the Trial of the Naaru: Mercy, you just need to save at least 1 prisoner and the executioner will drop the unused axe.
If you're doing this rescue quest however, you need to rescue the correct prisoner within the alloted time.
For our group, the NPC we had to rescue, (stoneshatter(horde)), was Prisoner #2. So we had 65 minutes total.
But of course we failed.. wiped twice on the boss due to cleave spams on the clothies.
We did, however, kill the boss in time to rescue Prisoner #3, and I finished my Trial of the Naaru: Mercy quest.
I see reports of people saying that the NPC you need to rescue is Prisoner #1, but I can't confirm this. I've only done this run once.
But it being Prisoner #2(rescue) would make more sense, seeing as how the old 45minute Baron Run used to give out a 10minute warning before the execution. Also, the time difference in the Prisoners 1 and 2 of 10minute and 15minute warning would make sense. 10 extra minutes for the rescue quest, and even if you fail that, you get a bonus 15 more minutes for the Trial of the Naaru: Mercy quest.
So basically, If you're doing this rescue quest, (Imprisoned in the Citadel), you must kill the last boss within 65 minutes of starting The Gauntlet (After 1st boss) in order to succeed.
If you're doing the Trial of the Naaru: Mercy, you have about 80 minutes from The Gauntlet (After 1st boss) in order to complete your quest.
Hope this helps.
