===The Vampire's Prey===
==Dialogue==
Show: Mist and Shadow
In the Moors:
"Begone. I must finish my prayers and purify my spirit before I meet my foes in battle."
:Why are you out here? "I have been tracking my prey for many nights. A heathen vampire who shall soon be cleansed from this world. I thought him alone, but now that I see this place I suspect a lair is hidden nearby. He shall regret leading me to his vile nest."
::Could that explain this strange mist? "I have hunted them all my life, and yet I have never seen magic such as this. I do feel their touch upon it. I feel it testing my will with every step I take. But I shall not falter. I shall face these creatures and leave nothing but ash behind."
:::Let me accompany you. "No fear. Bravery, or foolish inexperience? I cannot trust one who could become enthralled at any moment. Prove to me you have the will to resist this foul magic. Find me at the lair up the hill east of here. Then I shall consider it."
In Shademist Enclave:
"So you made it through the mist. Your will is stronger than I expected."
:Who is this? "Vampire scum. He barely put up a struggle before he fell to his knees, begging for what he calls a life. I did not expect such weakness. I will finish him now, if you'd be so kind as to step aside."
::This is the one you were hunting? "No. This pathetic being is hardly even worthy of my blade. The one I followed here is called Faenir; a much more formidable foe than this maggot, I assure you. We shall meet him soon enough. He and all of his coven shall die."
:::He could have information we need. Let me speak with him first. "As you wish. In this moment or the next, his existence shall end either way. But be wary. A vampire attempts to sway and beguile with its words. Do not listen, no matter what he says.
After speaking with Gadinas:
"Finished with your little chat? I shall relieve him of his head now and rid us of his insufferable mewling."
:He was forthcoming with information. We might benefit from having him alive. "Did I not warn you of this? That his vile tongue would worm its way into your thoughts? There's no such thing as a good vampire, just a vampire that has not yet been tempted. Our goals here are the same. Will you forget them for this scum?
::You're right. He's too dangerous. End it. 
::We gain nothing from his death right now. Leave him or go through me to get to him.
Show: The Vampire's Prey
"Leave. This cave poses a danger to those with weak wills."
:What kind of danger are you talking about? "The very worst kind—a vampire lord roams these caves. Zalar-do revealed her presence in Anvil when she captured two innocents. I tracked the cat to these caves. If she has tasted the blood of these innocents, my blade shall taste hers."
::Sounds like you could use some help. "Zalar-do is no mere vampire. She is a lord with the power to enslave weak minds. Aid me if you wish. But know this—if you succumb to your charms, you will suffer the same fate as she. Now let's go find the people she kidnapped!"
:::I'm right behind you.
After killing the vampire lord:
"I am glad to admit that I was wrong about you. Your will is as strong as any hunter I have fought beside. Thank you for helping me defeat Zalar-do. And thank you for putting her victims out of their misery."
:Does this mean Anvil is safe for now? "From the vampire lord? Yes. But these are turbulent times. Other threats endanger Anvil and the Gold Coast—some even worse than Zalar-do. Remain vigilant, hunter. Perhaps we shall meet again."

;Mist and Shadow
If the Vestige chose to spare Gadinas:
Mel Adrys: "I can't oppose you. I don't slay the living, only the dead. Run along, little worm. A brief reprieve only. I'll find you and your kin."
Gadinas: "Oh, thank you. The rest who opposed Faenir have already escaped."
Mel Adrys: "Filth. Now, to Faenir, quickly. My blade does not enjoy being denied a meal. Lead on. I shall strike from the shadows.
