Find The Tanglewoods
Blitherby's letter was quite suspicious. Now that Elaine's relationship to James as his fiance has been revealed, how does that impact the baron's death? Should James honor this contract or follow his heart? The group agreed to speak to the Tanglewoods, but when they arrive in Thornyside, the Lord and Lady are gone, and they are told that Elaine is not herself, though they have yet to find her.
Welben also informed the group that her parents are missing as well.
James Glasserune
James Glasserune is the only son of the late Baron Hanburn Glasserune. His mother, Eriana, has been deceased for some time now.
Well liked by the villagers, James is friendly and tries to be involved with daily life, though he can be seen as a bit flighty and perhaps a bit of a scoundrel for how much time he spends at the brothel and tavern. He is almost never seen drunk or otherwise not sober, even if he has a drink in his hand.

Currently ruled by James Glasserune after the passing of his father, Baron Hanburn Glasserune.

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?
Who lives?
Who dies?
Who tells your story?
