Quest Summary:
As the party was travelling through a small village near Les Innocents, the abandoned, cursed orphanage to the north of Avalon City, they met with one of the village elders, who told them how a veiled woman on a nightmare and her four black-garbed female cohorts had stolen eight of the village young women. The party entered the lower parts of the haunted orphanage, and fought their way through the werewolf women guarding the veiled woman (actually a night hag), before besting her nightmare familiar in battle, weakening her, and forcing the hag to flee from the Prime Material Plane! They discovered that the hag had been keeping a shiradi angel, embodiment of freedom, in a great green glass globe, and had been using the eight virgin women as a catalyst, forcing them to kneel, naked beneath it, holding it up while their bodies were magically hardened, to draw out the angel's energies, and make her young. The party overcame her, and Dahlia received great wings in reward, while the party as a whole gained a part of the vigor that the hag had nearly stolen, as a free gift from the angel.
