(I've marked which parts the melody follows, so it should be relatively easy to sing along.)

[Bass Melody]
"Silver
Some Gold,"
Chelish miners cry
"For these worthless stones
I saw my brothers die
Scare-d, trapped in dark tunnels far from Aroden’s eyes
Where picks ring
Like mu-
-sic hidden from the skies."

[Violin 2 Melody]
Silver
A note
A strong shining tone
Earn my wage in dark
For those I love at home
The sound of silver, in a world so dark and dim
If I fall
I know
I did it all for them

[Violin Melody]
Silver
My song
Helps my city thrive
Through flames and dark times
My city seems alive
When the queen comes to see, I will give her my reply
Sounds of steel
On steel
Will cut through all her lies

[Vln. 1 Melody]
Silver
Our souls
Majesty’s playthings
People bound like flies
Trapped in her silken strings
Silk is fine for noble-born who pay their debts with gold
Honest folk
Will pay
With silver as foretold

[Vln.2 Melody]
Silver wings
Raven’s cry
Come with me
Let us see the sky
Raise your voice
Come, sing it loud
Sun, come down
Shining through the cloud

[Bass Melody]
Come with me
See the sky
Silver wings

[Vln. Melody]
Raven’s Cry

Plus, in my version, the Silver Ravens were not the original creators of the Song of Silver (although I haven't given much thought to who exactly created it originally). In fact, they weren't even called the Silver Ravens at first, and adopted the name from the lyrics.

When the song is sung, it'll manifest as a silver light shining down from the sky ('Let us see the sky', 'Sun come down', etc.) on the Opera House, and then spread outwards in a barely-visible dome of energy.

One such redemption seeker has opened up a clinic where people who can't afford spellcasting services can go free of charge. They also take blood donations, and sell them to vampires who have to feed, but are ashamed to do so on an unwilling victim.

Her and a few other vampires work in disguise, and have been running this successfully for a few years/decades now. Until now, when the PC's wake up to a commotion: someone's attacked the clinic!

1. There are no windows in the recovery room, where one might expect to find a lovely view of the outdoors. (Vampires obviously don't want sunlight streaming into their homes)

2. Two Journals, as detailed below

3. An 'Appointment Room' where volunteers would go and allow a hungry vampire to feed on them (I've written that some vampires prefer this over the bagged blood, and are willing to pay more. This room comes equipped a Wand of Lesser Restoration (2 charges) and a scroll of Rebuke Undead. There is also a grate in the room that would lead to the Underground if the PCs can navigate it (in the most likely case that they can't, it leads to a random sewer grate in the city)

4. A bathroom with no mirrors

5. A secret room with a few coffins, behind a classic 'tilt the book to open the secret door' wall.

6. A sole survivor, as detailed below.

Tammy Rhodes - Donation - 1 pint
Erica Hall - Donation - 1.5 pints
Johnny Swanson - Purchase - 1 pint
Angela Lane - Donation - .5 pints
Myra Ruiz - Purchase - 1 pint
Jerry Rivera - Purchase - 1 pint
Dean Bridges - Appointment
Doris Lawson - Donation - 1 pint
Julia Simmons - Donation - 1 pint
Taylor Foster - Appointment (Attacked Lydia, barred from entry)
Lydia Reed - Transfusion - 2 pints
Teresa Roberson - Appointment
Elsa Chavez - Donation - 2 pints (Fell unconscious, treated for one day before discharged)
Luther Cummings - Purchase - 1 pint

"It appears that people are more than willing to volunteer, provided that they are not killed during the sessions. Donations are no issue, but appointments must be closely supervised. I've put some equipment in the room that all volunteers know about, and it should give them an edge if they're attacked.

Although we haven't been in contact with the Underground for many years, enough associates come by that I've been able to keep up with news. Luvick has taken a harder stance on above-ground activities, meaning that more people are flocking here.

I can't blame him, in fact; I fully support this action. If we're ever to be redeemed, we need to take steps like this. An action of one can ruin the reputation of all of us, leading to more confrontations, and sliding back into darkness. From there, it's a domino effect until all out war.

I know we'd win, but war doesn't sound appealing to me. Slaughter is not the way to redemption."

She gives her story; how someone kicked in the doors, she grabbed a scalpel and hid in the morgue, and hasn't been out since. Anyone making a heal check at this point can discover that, despite having hid in the cold room for X amount of time, she's not even shivering.

The main thing for review here is her speech if pressed to combat. If the PCs are still going "oh they're all evil, let's kill them", then this is speech to at least make them feel bad for their actions:

“I have done nothing wrong! I came here to help at this clinic to make people’s lives better, as did Madame Darora and Lady Miha! We all sought to repent our inherent evil natures, for one reason or another. Do you have any idea what that entails, and what I went through before I came here?

Tears stream down her face at this point, but that doesn’t hide the determined look in her eye. She is angry, angry at the world, and is not going down without a fight.

For Cece's stats, I've used those of Rakskaka's Vampire Alchemist from the GM Thread

*I couldn't actually find out what happens to a vampire soul when they die. The AP mentions Zura and The Revenant Court, but doesn't give a clear answer. I chose Abbadon because it's the worst plane for an evil-aligned soul to go to.
