A short while later a man, perhaps in his late twenties, brown hair concealed underneath a hat common for guards that you've seen wandering the town. He also wears a chest plate, a small gold emblem placed atop it. His face is stoic as he enters, but he's a bit shakey and his eyes flick between every tavern member with a hint of fear. As calmly as he can, he goes to the bar and starts mumbling something under his breath.
Lurke teleports over, "You alright?"
At first, it looks like he's about to protect himself before sitting up straighter and putting on a face to make him appear braver, "Yes. Everything is fine. It's just that I've been ordered by my superiors to assess the tavern situation."
"Tavern situation? What do you mean?"
"This, the thing. The tavern, protected by gods, is inhabited by powerful beings. It's been a worry for some time. People are turning into clockwork, demons, bandits, some alien creatures, and most of you don't give a darn!" He stops, "Why am I saying... Nevermind. Many things are happening and they originate from here! Do you know how worrisome that is? Battle of Lesta, the main baddie originated from here. So I'm here to assess how much of a threat you people pose."
"I kill them via my bite. Probably some suicide victim and I put them out of their misery. Once I kill them, they will rise as a vampire spawn come nightfall. If you want to I can tell you more."
"Then how do you control them?"
"When I bite someone, I drink their life, since blood is what contains life. Thus, when I kill someone via my bite, I consume their life. When they rise as a vampire, they serve their old life, thus serving the person who holds that life, also known as the vampire who killed them. When I give them blood or have my final death, the life essence is freed from my body and sent to the vampire spawn which grants them sentience, along with the powers of a greater vampire... Does that makes sense?"
"Yep, i get that. So why not jus not give them blood?"
"Because then my bond with them weakens. If you want a perfect servant then you don't want free will. Vampires are proud and the last thing I need is to die at the hands of a vessel, that is a spawn given sentience."
"Have them get blood from somewhere else?"
"Then that just sates their hunger. It needs to be the master's blood to give them sentience and the full spectrum of powers
"Do you want them to have that?"
"I want them to have the powers but not the free will. Sadly, I can't have one without the other."
"Use a geas spell."
"That... might work. Can you cast it?"
"Nope. But there are people in the tavern that can"

Ah, alright. He teleports in, and brings her a runic
"Thanks." Eris runics to the safehouse.
Shardia is there, feebleminded near Astara, Mithris, and Xavian. Kalnor also comes back
"So, are there any visible symptoms?"
"Only the way she's acting."
*What is Shardia doing? I haven't been online often enough.* "I'll test some things. Did anyone see what happened to her?"
"I did. Seeker seemed to use some kind of magic, and then Shardia flinched a bit."
"How much of a flinch? Was there any bleeding?"
"Like she was hit hard. But there isn't a wound."
"That's good. Psychic scream has similar effects, but also tends to cause bleeding around the eyes and ears. It's fun. This is likely a feeblemind, in which case we'll need some pretty decent healing. Or it's an extensive memory wipe, which I would need at least a few weeks to treat."
"How strong is 'pretty decent'?"
It normally means 'powerful magic' in this case.

If I push then it is... And my vampirism could perhaps be my fault if you look at it in the right way. Like right now, if I didn't care about your feelings then I would ask 'how did you become a broom' but I must remind myself to not.
But what matters is that you're capable of stopping yourself from asking.
Yeah... although I don't think Ulgar can. He wouldn't care, just like he doesn't care about anything else
Ulgar?
My greater vampire version of me. Lazarus is the name I have when I am a lesser vampire *Blood drinker vampire* and when I become a greater vampire *Vampire* I can shapeshift, and get damaged by sunlight, and my personality changes. I don't care for anything other than feeding, and my own desire... if that makes sense
It does.
Okay good... Whenever I transform, I usually try to have a goal in mind, then achieve it and then leave. I don't care about anyone else which is kind of scary...
...
You okay?
Y- No.
What is it... Oh sorry. I mean, would you be okay if you tell me why you aren't okay?
If Ulgar senses what you sense, do you think they will try to take advantage of it on me?
Ulgar is me... just I act differently and have more powers. Also I only change into Ulgar when I want to
Okay...
I promise that when I transform into him, I'll try not to ask you any questions... Does that help you sleep at night... rest... whatever
