# {{ page.title }}

The party was previously roped into a widesweeping investigation on behalf of
Breach who was engaged in a frantic battle against kytons on the Shadow Plane.
One Breach agent mentioned to Calder that the kytons were trying much harder
than usual to "save us". There were several unusual trends on the material
plane: 1) people were disappearing all over the cities, in Busura it was a large
number of people, mostly children, in Al'Jira a small number of adults of
varying professions. 2) A worrying number of people developer total amnesia 3)
an intellegent zombie was discovered working as a night watchmen and was slain
immediatly. The party was in the process of tracking down where the children
were being taken when they blundered into another universe, except for Calder
Black. Calder continued the investigation on his on, and then with Barri and
discovered that a daemonic priest was kidnapping them and leaving them in the
care of a mostly benign undead orphanage master in a ramshackle building inside
the city. The priest was killed. The orphan master was killed, the children were
released into the streets, save for the undead ones, who Barri adopted. They
declared the investigation complete and began planning their raid on the Dark
Priest. The cities vanished about a month later, leaving behind only a massice
stone slap with a single symbol carved on it. Later, the Bishop of Nemes threw
out a bunch of doomsayers from his lands and only afterwards learned from his
ghoul priests that they may be far more fangrrous than they seemed and
potentially responsible for the Twin Cities disappearance. The Bishop passed the
warning along to General Vandeemer and several cultists were captured in Fort
Rather and several more were apprehended and put death in the town of Hope.
