Let's play summarize Coxwette, shall we?
Nelson Plath is said to be buried in the catacombs.
The tunnel Chuck discovered is marked with the Plath emblem.
Nelson Plath founded Coxwette. He is also responsible for whatever magical elements that keep the town ageless. He taught Ana his secret. He was burned alive bound to a sofa by three religious zealots who bear a striking resemblance to the monsters. Susanna wants those catacombs sealed off from the town.
Ana was killed through the improper use of syringes filled with holy water.
I am 99.5% sure Susanna is Ana.
Ana was Nelson Plath's lover.
Ana came back.
Ana was Charles Plath's lover, Nelson Plath's grandchild.
Charles Plath died by fire because he "fell asleep while smoking". On a couch.
Whatever is in the woods around Coxwette killed Davey's wife.
Also Davey freaked when Ellen crawled into bed with him when she was 13 and kicked her out into the barn.
From Charles' Plath's letter , it seems the magic that keep people unaging in Coxwette have to do with MEMORY. People don't die until their names are spoken no longer and people's memory of them forgotten.
Nelson and Charles Plath were burned.
Like you do with witches.
And that seems to have killed them permanently.
Since Susanna has those same eyes, we can surmise she is a witch, not a vampire, and she is very likely not quite alive or dead. It is very likely that fire will end her. It's not something I suggest we try, but I think Chuck should look into fire-based weapons to deal with the monsters. Burning might very well work on them.
My suspicion is that from this scene -- http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/src/147996816606.png -- she had enough after they killed Charles. If Coxwette was truly a witch-founded town, then that may be why there was no church... or Susanna destroyed the church in retribution.
You: “Ramona, why do you think the Starks summoned the monsters in the first place?”
Ramona: “The evidence is all over. The Plaths ran a peaceful and prosperous Coxwette until Nelson Plath’s murder at their hands.”
Ramona: “The stories passed down tell of demons killing him and terrorizing the town.”
Ramona: “It is no coincidence that the Starks came into power shortly after.”
These demons are the religious zealots. Susanna Stark came into power shortly after she killed them. Charles Path's death might have been truly accidental and Susanna might have been as mistaken as Ramona as to the blame, but after she was done the zealots were gone.
But not forgotten.
Susanna isn't summoning them, but they return and they're just as bullet-proof as she is due to the very same magic, and they're going to keep coming back as long as she remembers them.
The reason why she was so infuriated at the library meeting was because she truly does HATE those demons. She hates them with ever fibre in her body because those are the demons that killed her lovers and that also killed her at least once.
And she's taken over the town because she worked closest with its founders. She IS one of its founders.
She's not our enemy. She might be part of the problem, but she isn't an enemy.
I suspect the real cause of the problem is likely Nelson Plath, but who knows what form he's in. He might be truly dead and we're simply dealing with the still-running mechanisms he put in place but nobody knows how to stop.
I suggest that the best course of action is to reconcile her and Ramona, convince Susanna to open the catacombs, get some torches, and finish the job. But we're going to need their help.

From the following information:
From Thread #2:
"Dearest Anna,
It was my grandfather who first discovered the essence of happiness, and it is with so many thanks to you, our little patch of earth shall flourish in his memory. Love and fellowship shall overrule the world’s laws of chaos, hatred, and belligerence, and nary a disparaging thought will stir us from our resting bliss.
It is said that we live and live beyond the finality of death. We live until our names are spoken for the last time, and live yet until the very last thought fades from the dying memory of our progeny. Stand with me my dear, stand with me while we still have our legs, and so that we might be immortalized in a photograph.
My darling pearl, there is no greater gift you could have given me.
We will never die.
Truly,
Charles Plath"

Sally: "Several of the town's historical tomes make clear reference to catacombs beneath the library, but none of them described how to enter. One of them said that it was a place reserved for the town's leadership exclusively."
Sally: "It's... said that Nelson Plath himself is buried there. I wish I could give you more information."
Thread #3:
You: “Uh… hey. You used to work for Farmer Davey, right?”
She wipes her eye and sighs.
Ellen: “Yeah, when I was thirteen. That was like…”
Ellen: “Ten years ago…”
And on that note, Chapter 5:
Ellen: “I went into his bedroom. Davey’s bedroom. And I crawled onto his bed and kissed him… like… somewhere on his neck or something. He was asleep I think, and he started to hug and kiss me and all that…”
Ellen: “And then he opened up his eyes and pushed me off the bed and started to shout at me… I guess. He told me to sleep in the barn.”

It's back again.
Then in the tunnel:
"You are suddenly met with a vivid mental image of a navy blue sofa moving closer to you and many indistinguishable voices you can see the fibers of the sofa there is a gold cord embroidery for trim and mahogany arms and feet it is rough chamois texture and the friction is hot against your skin, shockingly hot and the backrest is rubbing your arm you are rolling and sinking into the cushions"
