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.
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.

I Only Waterboard People to Bless Them!!!
The group agrees to help the town, but they end up waterboarding more than one person, repeatedly neglecting to give food to the starving masses of Lowtown, causing destruction to private property, possibly abandoning an orphan, inventing a waterslide, and learning another new secret.
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?
Back to Thornyside...
The group had recently tried to heal a dungeon full of prisoners. Nira, channeling divine energy, released a positive pulse. While many captives were healed, three turned into vampires, the positive energy hurting them. With the three vampires in cages with other captives, as well as all three cages too far apart to fight all at once, the group had moments to make a plan, come together, and save the day. But can they save everyone?
