Dalyria's Private Diary
Before I was Dalyria, vampire spawn slave to Cazador Szarr, I was Doctor Dalyria, Physician General to the Parliament of Baldur's Gate.
Spawn or no, I'm still Doctor Dalyria, and I will not submit to this lowly status.
The others say vampirism is a curse, but in my educated opinion, it's a disease, and therefore must be vulnerable to medical treatment.
I believe a massive infusion of fresh, youthful blood may overwhelm the vampirism infection and enable my body to heal. There is one potential source of such blood here: Victoria, the as-yet pureblooded daughter of Leon Onufrio.
Leon was a sorcerer before he was a vampiric slave, and has warned us not to prey upon Victoria as he has imbued her with a counter-curse in the event of attack - made her a necrotic booby-trap, as it were.
I think Leon is bluffing.
