flash of a dagger you could try but first you'll tell me what you know I saw you on the ship you're in League with them aren't you those tentacles you might you my unfamiliar eyes prowling dark busy streets if you try to hold the memory but it fades to the worm the light fear what was that what's going on I'm not an idiot it has to be those tentacled monsters something they did they took you to I

tadpoles can do for us exactly waste not want not even when it comes to mind Flair parasites now was there anything else [Music] you don't sleep well flitting between Dreams and Nightmares maybe you

Light you see him for what he really is a vampire a slave to Sanguine hunger foreign I'm not some monster I feed on animals balls deer cobals whatever I can get I'm just too slow right now too weak if I just had a little blood I could think clearer fight better please a strange sensation courses through you phones full Secrets half revealed [Music] I what's this what's happening your mind lurches reeling suddenly as if bitten his mind opens up revealing cracked and quivering memories dark dark feed you open your mouth and bite down not into a tender neck but into the twisting body of a rat the only thing your master lets you eat [Music] at best I was sure you'd say no more likely you'd Rama steak through my ribs no I needed you to trust me and you can trust me because we don't have a choice

that was amazing my mind is finally clear I feel strong I feel happy shouldn't take long so many people need killing now if you'll excuse me you're invigorating but I need something more filling this is a gift you know I won't forget it he watches he stalks towards the forest stronger more confident ready to hunt good morning how do you feel be grateful I'm not a true vampire then a bite from them and you might wake up as a vampire spawn like my good self all of a vampire's hunger but few of their powers you know in this light I hadn't seen the Sun for 200 years before we crashed here someone or something wants me alive they've changed the rules ending in the Sun wading through a river wandering into homes without an invitation they're all perfectly mundane activities now as for my other quirks well we can figure those out in time you're such a sweetheart it's glad you're being sensible about these Revelations I was worried people might turn up with torches and pitchforks although there's still time a vampire well that explains hella given our group's nature I don't see much harm we're each monsters in the making after all fine as long as he keeps his fangs off our necks [Music] are quite the opposite I'm here in the spirit of openness and honesty to work together as a team maybe we could get him to wear a bell this way any nighttime prowling there now we're all friends again shall we go there's a long day ahead of us yes we can't and yet I crossed the threshold like Moonlight through leaves this worm is a powerful little beast isn't it what's not to enjoy I'm walking sunlight trespass upon any home manipulate mines I'm the most powerful vampire in the realms granted the looming Doom is an issue but why not enjoy the benefits while we can it's simple just find a vampire that will drink your blood and turn you into a vampire spawn their obedient puppet Theory the next step is to drink their blood once you've done that you're free and the true vampire yes and no the problem is once you're a vampire spawn they completely control you they have to allow you to bite them and why would they do that Empire is a power-hungry creatures they won't lose a servant to create a competitor trust me it doesn't happen I've already apologized what more do you want unless you're looking for another nibble no innocence you have my word only villains that we need to kill him after all you know what I am now I can fight with all my weapons teeth included and if I happen to drain the occasional Bandit during a fight what's the harm they're just as dead [Music] of course that sounds eminently reasonable I shall wait patiently until you suggest We Dine together but until then no more late night surprises you have my word on that well hello what can I do for you why do you insist on exhuming the past I was a slave a vampire spawn Kipper the Tsar family oops I still am I was never able to resist their commands but now I've been thinking they won't ever control me again [Laughter] your friend has just heard the rumors of my people that we steal chickens curse your crops seduce your daughters I wish I had half the power settled folk think my people possess alas I am a simple Wanderer a simple Wanderer and Monster Hunter but I'm no witch doctor or Cuts wrote true and I have no proof to offer but my word if you wish it our paths need not cross again I'm hunting a vampire spawn and it's a little too bright for you to be my prey his name is estarian but I fear he's gone to ground I hope the hag of these lands can help me flush him out if I can afford her blood price [Laughter] not this time my orders are to capture him oh and bring him where exactly Baldur's Gate my people wait for me there I don't know I'm sure a vampire spawn could still rip out your throat if he felt like it he is right unfortunately they are only weak when compared to their masters during the day we have the advantage but at night when they hunt you'll not find a more deadly Quarry we've all survived so far and let's focus on that it would still be wise to post guards at night the threat is real indeed it is we should do something about this threat [Laughter] wait that's it we're just walking away [Laughter] fine but if this comes back to bite us it's on your head go in peace my friends I pray I'll pass cross again they better bloody not you should listen to your companion next he'll warn you that my people can curse your cow to give only sour milk and will seduce your daughter to a life of roaming I wish I had half the power settled folk think my people possess alas I am a simple Wanderer a simple Wanderer and Monster Hunter but I'm no witch doctor or Katz wrote something terrifying no doubt Dragon cyclops Cobalt nothing so dramatic I'm hunting for a vampire spawn his name is Astorian but I fear he's gone to ground I hope the hag of these lands can help me flush him out if I can afford her blood price [Laughter] not this time my orders are to capture him oh and bring him where exactly Baldur's Gate my people wait for me there thank you treating with a hug I need all the luck I can get may your road be kind hello what can I do for you so it would seem hopefully he bumps into some nulls while stumbling around at night and that's the last we hear from him then we kill him I thought that would have been obvious there may be others of course if Cazador sent one pill after me he'll send more is a vampire lord and baldus gate the patriarch of his coven and a monster obsessed with power he turned me nearly 200 years ago I became his spawn and he became my Tormentor it was him I'm sure only he would notice and the girl after me it was a group of girl that attacked me that night in Baldur's Gate I would have died that caused it or not appeared and saved me well he didn't mention the slave Clause at the time and now he sends a girl Monster Hunter for me it's a message he's reminding me of his power even the middle of nowhere reach me and he wants me back safe you think I'm safe do you know the power a vampire lord possesses he can change sheep turn into mist call walls to do his bidding Shug off blows like they're nothing he could walk into our camp tonight and kill you with his bare hands and you'd be lucky if death was the worst thing that happened to you [Laughter] you don't understand you don't know him just trust me when I say we need to be careful he'll send more lackeys he has plenty of souls to command we just have to be vigilant keep our wits about us and kill any Monster Hunters on site we can probably make an exception for will probably need something so it would seem hopefully he bumps into some nulls while stumbling around at night and that's the last we hear from him I didn't do anything I was kidnapped just like you it seems kazador wants me back is a vampire lord and Baldur's ganked truck of his coven and a monster obsessed with power he turned me nearly 200 years ago I became his spawn and he became my Tormentor [Laughter] I'm not happy about it either you know especially for one of them to turn up it was a group of girl that attacked me that night in Baldur's Gate I would have died that cause it will not appeared and saved me [Laughter] and I can and there's nothing your bleeding heart can do to change my mind [Laughter] perhaps we probably thought it was funny but more likely he's trying to send me a message he's reminding me of his power even the middle of nowhere you can reach me and he wants me back oh a vampire lord possesses he can change sheep turn into mist call walls to do his bidding shrug off blows like they're nothing he could walk into our camp tonight and kill you with his bare hands and you'd be lucky if death was the worst thing that happened to you probably not he has to rest in his Crypt during the day I've never known him to leave Baldur's Gate he has no end of lackings he'll send someone else in his place we just have to be vigilant keep our wits about us and kill any Monster Hunters on site we can probably make an exception for will probably I suppose you want to hear about kazador I don't want to say a damned thing but that won't do anyone any good is a vampire lord and Baldur's Gate truck of his coven and a monster obsessed obsessed with power political power military power I mean power over people the power to control them completely he turned me nearly 200 years ago I became his spawn and he became my Tormentor [Music] he had me go out into Baldur's Gate to fetch him the most beautiful souls I could find it was a fun little ritual of his I'd bring them back and he'd ask if I wanted to dine with him and if I said yes he'd served me a dead putrid rat of course if I said no he'd have me flayed the hard to say which was worse thank you but this isn't about sympathy it's about knowing what we might be up against the Mind flares aren't the only monsters out there they're not even the only ones hunting us all I'm asking is that you keep your eyes open and watch out for anything lurking in the shadows [Music] what more could I ask now is that all [Music] something's on my mind there you are my friend I have drunk not alcohol of course a bear he took a little of My Blood I took all of his says any meal worth having it's nothing compared to well other things I could be dialing on but significantly better than the rats and bugs Cazador served me not at all blood is life essence and some creatures have so much more life than others Cazador gave me just enough to keep me well alive for lack of a better word but never more than that still that was the past I'll never have to grovel for him again [Music] exactly I can be better than him stronger more powerful more oh you meant be kinder pet bunnies that sort of thing I have no objection to being nice of course once I have the power to bend others to my will yes [Music] you can't look at the world and tell me I'm wrong a little corruption sounds fun I spent centuries as the victim of a corrupt man it was the Mind flares that plucked me away from that they gave me a gift the strength to take my own freedom I'm embracing this power you should too I won't lie attempt to if I keep the tunnel I risk transforming into a grotesque monster if I lose the tadpole casadore has control of me Body and Soul and I return to the shadow it's Grim either way so why not sell what's left of my soul to a devil better he has it than Castle [Music] I'm glad to hear it whatever's coming we need to keep our options open to talk there you are I was just thinking about you and that delicious moment we shared the other night the very same I've I've had this condition for two centuries but truth told you're my first in all these years I've only ever fed on beef drinking the blood of thinking creatures is a different thing entirely you were delectable and now I can't help but wonder how the others taste oh you're a sweetheart but you don't need to worry I'm just thinking out loud take Gail for example he strikes me as someone whose blood is Rich refined like well-aged Brandy but the gift Hells which she tastes like hmm [Music] that sounds very appealing I'm almost convinced [Music] absolutely a mere thoughts experiment so in the spirit of theoretical questions if you had to take a bite from one of them who would it be ah a refined palette I can't disagree although the more I think on it the hungrier I get I better go find something I can actually get my teeth into there's nothing that tasty lurking out in the woods but I'll make do sweet dreams looking at something I'm looking too but not seeing very much another Quirk of my affliction preening in the Looking Glass Petty vanity of course I miss it I've never even seen this fix not since it grew fangs and my eyes turned red is it what do you see when you look at me excuse me I'm an eternally young vampire not a daunting grandmother you can do better what else very good now just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call us a day hardly there's also gold sex Revenge quite the list really but failing any of those I will always settle for shallow praise looking at something I'm looking too but not seeing very much another Quirk of my affliction it's an Indulgence I'll Grant you but a weakness a well-presented face can open a lot of doors not that I've seen this face not since it grew fangs and eyes turned red [Music] what do you mean aging I'm a vampire Forever Young really [Music] anything particular this is meant to be flattery not poetry just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call it a day how dare you I thought we had something special um you're nice too I better get some beauty sleep it seems I needed for them to catch up with the competition looking at something the only benefit to a mirror when you have my condition it doesn't quite make up for the lack of a reflection mind you [Music] the thing Cazador took I've never even seen this face not since it grew fangs and my eyes turned red [Music] I I don't know I can't remember my face is just some dark shape in my past another thing I've lost what and what do you see exactly oh go on very good now just tell me I'm beautiful and we can call this a day observant mirrors aren't much use but being reflected in someone else's eyes well I could do worse you know I never pictured myself as a hero never thought I'd be the one they'd toast for saving so many lives and now that I'm here I hate it this is all for we killed some goblins to save some tieflings the Telly of lives didn't change much thought do I get through all my hard work a pat on the head and vinegar for wine [Music] I'm just looking for a little more excitement a little more fun it don't be so sour I like a good time as much as anyone you know we could always make our own entertainment darling get a little closer so to speak [Music] please cheeky little pup I'll see you later [Music] there you are I've been waiting waiting since the moment I set eyes on you waiting to have you [Music] don't I you're here and I don't think you want to talk I think you want to be known to be tasted [Music] won't do any of us want pleasure Dunes mine our Collective ecstasy that's what you want isn't it to lose yourself in me then let's have some fun [Music] [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] I thought you'd be exhausted after last night I was holding back a little it's true I didn't want to lose control now shall we get on I want to go before anyone else thanks me for saving their tails it's a poem a gift from casadore he considered himself quite the artist and used his slaves as a canvas he composed and carved that one over the course of a night [Music] he made a lot of revisions as he went [Music] infernal I who knows that bastard was insane anyway enough pillow talk let's go before the tieflings drag us into another Mass [Music]
