Notes 

• Ernan is a Halfling Bard that has been turned into a vampire while adventuring through a haunted castle. He had been left behind, presumed for dead due to an exposure to a poison dart. It turned out, he was alive, but unfortunately, the vampire in question enjoyed the novelty of having a Bard and a Halfling as a companion, thus Ernan was initially turned into a Thrall before being released into a full vampire.
• Ernan has escaped his master, but has learned the world of the living has somewhat closed to him. Ernan has come up with a plan to survive for a time, moving from hall-to-hall, offering his talents as a singer for lodgings or to endear himself before he takes a little blood from a nobleman's realm before fleeing once again.
• Ernan is torn whether to seek out and destroy his old master, claiming the castle for himself, or finding a a Halfling heiress that he can seduce, turn into his companion, and live out in whatever Halfling abode she is living in. Ernan has found it seems more likely that he'll need to kill his master if he ever wants to find permanent residence.
