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.
