Walkthrough[]
Upon travelling to Verdistis, Lucian may encounter Sir Markham fighting trolls. After dispatching them, he asks Lucian to investigate a cave nearby, which he believes holds an evil presence.
True enough, inside the cave is a vampire who is about to feed on a little boy, Marty. Lucian now has two options;
- Threaten the vampire, which kills Marty.
- Offer his own blood, which causes Lucian's stats do decrease (hp drops to 1, strength -1, agility -1, intelligence-1. There are also bats very near, which can kill Lucian now easily), but Marty is saved.
If Lucian is investigating George's murder, he can ask the vampire about . But this vampire has never been in Aleroth, nor does he know any George.
This quest also involves the same boy Caroline is looking for, and so, the decision will affect the outcome of both quests.
For saving Marty, Caroline rewards 11k xp. She can be found at the southern entrance of Rivertown market
No matter the decision made, this quest opens up the Kill the vampire quest, since there is a vampire on the loose.
Kill the Vampire[]
The Vampire is a threat to the surrounding areas, so it must be killed. The door leading to it is locked. To open the door, either use Telekinesis on the nearby lever, OR lockpick the door (Lockpick rank 2 required). The vampire attacks when his coffin is opened. Killing it rewards experience and +3 reputation.
