Nell Bund
Nell was trapped in Hightown (the nice part of Thornyside). She warned the group about some strange goings-on in the town. People are more like creatures or ensorcelled. The wander with lanterns of black light and they take people away never to be seen They are attracted to noise and captured her twin sister, Alora. The group helped her escape through the grate to lowtown.
Deal With The Vampire Thralls
The Tanglewood Manor had a small cellar lined with horrible metal cages. With no key hole visible, they recognized the bars were lined with the same blood-keyed spikes as the chest under Stoneblood Manor.
In the cages, they see Alora, but she tells them she is too weak to stand. The vampires have been draining their blood daily until they turn them into Thralls. Nira blesses the room, and three captives are revealed to be vampires already.
Rescue Hightown
Hightown appears abandoned, but Nell Bund tells the group a strange story. There was a party at the manor and afterwards attendees didn't seem right. People were taken from the streets, including her twin sister Alora.
She says they carry lanterns that emit darkness and are attracted to noise. They seem to patrol the area. While the group hasn't met one yet, their exploration of the city was not without peril.
The group promised to return to help Leonora free Hightown.
Find Alora's Sister
Alora gave the group critical information to help them breach Tanglewood Manor, and trhey managed to free her sister Nell as well as several other captives, though not all were so lucky.
Fix The Memories In Lowtown
The people in Lowtown seemed to have had their memory affected by the water that was "blessed" and delivered by the men in black robes. They had no idea time had passed and Carindrina even found a woman who may be pregnant and not aware of it, Furus may have found an orphan...
Thanks to a clever plan by the group involving watreboarding and waterslides, the effects seem to be lifted. But what memories will come back?
