Well it turned out that the wand of healing was a very good purchase idea as we needed it. It turned out that the vampire had set a bit of an ambush for us with a couple of his death knight buddies. We also found out that this particular vampire can attack while invisible so between the three of them we were doing about as much healing as damage.
We were able to eventually dispatch the two knights and whittle down the vampire. I have never faced a vampire before in battle but Lightbringer explained to me that one of the things that make them hard to kill is that when they need to they will turn into a mist and fly away to escape danger. So when it actually happened I was ready. I used my natural air ability to create a windwall and hold him in place so that Lightbringer could deliver the final blow.
After the battle we searched his body and found a number of interesting items. I got a rod of lesser maximise and gloves of storage. We also found an interesting item called a ring of sustenance. So if you wear the ring you no longer need to eat or drink. We are currently debating on weather or not we should give it to our vamp friend back at home and maybe even ask what his name is. Yea, that probably should have been the first thing we did but our meeting was a weird and tense situation and subsequent interactions were terse and to the point.
Hopefully in time we will come to trust one another, and maybe, finding out his name would be a good step in that direction; also a housewarming gift could not hurt either.

A New Friend
So as a show of good faith our new vamp friend and houseguest gave us the location of an evil vampire he knew back before he was locked away. The information is a few hundred years old but we decided to form an expedition to check it out. The location is about 30 miles away so we took some of the gold we found when clearing out our new home and bought a carriage and a wand of healing. We also hired a carriage driver and set off.
At the location that our friend marked on our map we found a cave surrounded by dead plants and carefully proceeded inside but it was not long before we encountered lots of magic casting undead. There were more then we expected to encounter but since Lightbringer and I are clerics we were able to keep scarring them off which helped to keep us from being totally overwhelmed. Although, after that we realised we were in no shape to take on a vampire and retreated to a nearby village to rest.
Currently, I am awaiting them in the carriage to return to the cave .....
As I was writing, I heard them calling out to me from the nearby chappell. Apparently they happened upon a mage that was trying to tell us to give up on the vampire and go home but when we chose not to he began fireballing us until we killed him. So it looks like we are going to stay another night so we are at full strength as he obviously knows we are coming for him now.

A New Home
Last night I had an odd dream about an angel. I woke wondering if it was my father or if it had something to do with this weird place. Shortly after entering this tower basement I got my answer when I looked into a mirror and saw that same angel it took my mind and made me attack my friends but thankfully the effect was short lived. That evil angel, as it turned out, was worshiped here by the necromancers that brought those awful Vivisectors. In the course of clearing out the basement we found and killed the queen Vivisector and all her young, then fought some undead left behind by the necromancer.
Interestingly, one of the things we found was the deed to the land the tower was built on giving us the ability to claim it as our home. It will take quite a bit of cleaning but it is better than renting a room above a bar.
The biggest surprise was a coffin locked with chains or more accurately what was inside. A vampire that was locked away by his creator because he refused to feed on anything but rapists and murderers. At least that is what he claims. But he seems honest and nice so we didn't kill him and instead chose to keep a close eye on him. He mostly stays in his room.
