According to – what was her name – Black Jodie – and I don't have a reason to distrust her –, the Shields took Sayuri alive, rather than killing her on the spot. They supposedly took her to a place on Industrial Avenue, and I have indeed located a building where I detected what appear to be their magical readings. I need you to check it out before they do something to my student.

Investigate the building

As I said, they're going to kill her because she happens to be a vampire. Our witness didn't say anything to the contrary. They might be interrogating her first, but I cannot tell how much time you have to free her.

Find Sayuri Dusk

I'm afraid I'd be more of a hindrance if I tried to come along and assist you, given my history with Fiminster.

The Shields are here. And again, they are not willing to talk about their captive.

• Arrest the leader
• Approach the civilian

Enemies

Shields of Fiminster

Notable NPCs

• Azure Huntress (Paragon Heroes Boss) (flees immediately)
• Mistress Verrill (Shields of Fiminster Elementalist)
• Laurence Day (Civilians captive)

Azure Huntress dialogue Before combat: Good work, but the vampire was just one symptom. Most Heroes are corrupt. Combat start: Dash! You've been tracked! Attempt to escape: I can't be seen here! Defeated: Dash! Activate Medicom …

Patrol dialogue Shield of Fiminster 1: Why did we bring the vampire here? Shield of Fiminster 2: It might reveal more about these "Heroes". Although there seems to be more to it than we thought.

Mistress Verrill dialogue Before combat: Assure Mr. Day we are in control, even though it seems to be a different kind of curse than what we expected. Combat start: Ah, the other Heroes have arrived. Believe me, you're too late to do any good. 75% Health: In case you never realized … Your "friend" is an evil vampire. 50% Health: We're professional hunters of evil. You should be cooperating with us, not vice versa. Defeated: Darn you … We are the true heroes …

Laurence Day dialogue Before combat: Shield of Fiminster: Trust us, you should not taint your memories of your daughter by seeing what she has become. Laurence Day: But … Description: The parents of the underappreciated hero were apparently unaware of her career. Combat start: Shield of Fiminster: Heroes! I mean, the people taking advantage of her! Upon capture: What's going on? They told me my daughter needed to be euthanized …

Kristopher Ash

So they brought in her father from California and told him she had become a monster so they would receive his blessing to kill her. They're even worse than I thought. Sayuri is not your usual vampire. She – Deborah, I believe that was her birth name – had been granted a wish from a deity. Not taking him seriously, she had him turn her into a heroic vampire. I then approached her and taught her how to survive as a vampire without doing evil, but she was still too embarrassed to return to her family. Her transformation was a spell rather than an infection, a spell so powerful that it's virtually impossible to break, and that must have piqued the Shields' interest, so they have brought her to a major base where she can be properly examined … before they kill her. As for that other Hero working with them, Azure Huntress … I understand that she has a great reputation, but she is said to suffer from a kind of curse, too. She might have lost her mind. I should talk to the officials.
