Disembowlment followed by fire, that's about it as far as I know. I haven't read the book but I wanted vampire without the whole "burning in sunlight" thing.

Look off in distance to determine completion of monument. Kill a bird and reanimate it for scouting duties.

Upon realizing that you have become a vampire, the villagers get thier torches and pitchforks.

Also, by becoming undead, you have lost the ability to set checkpoints (because you already died), and control the undead.

Slice open my abdomen and run towards the townspeople and hope to regain the previous abilities.

The townspeople throw a torch at you... it misses.

After you dodge a hail of torches, the finally grab you, and tie you to the stake conveniently near the area you were.

Inquire as to where the AYVB forces are, in order to bribe the dragons* into not attacking us, transfer ownership of the local Fish and Chips franchise to the widow. No we have somewhere for the teens to work since there are no highschools in a feudal world.

*Figure I've made enough money depopulating fish stocks ad selling the pay per view rights to all the crazy shit the protagonist has done, now I also own the Riverdale colesium (will eventually have it built up to a proper flavian one.) Whores owns the Colesium's popcorn franchise and the Widow and Daughter seem to own the fish and Chips Franchise for the whole of the town.

getting the villagers to stop wanting to kill us is simply a matter of supplying enough alcohol.

begin work on finding enough serfs who are not employed in building the Coloseium, harvesting corn for the popcorn, making wine vinagar for the fish and chips, working at the fish and chips, making potatoes for the fish and chips, to build and support a brewery, failing that invade Brotherhood of the monkey lands for brothels, and coffee bars.

You have restored from the last checkpoint, but have lost your ability to control the undead, as punishment for turning into a twilight vampire.

The AYVB is to the south, in the frozen wastes. Lady Elizabeth wishes to accompany you in her father's place. She demonstrates that she is an accomplished archer.

Wealth Update:

The protagonist has squandered all of his pre-existing wealth on building ridiculous monuments.

Brian the Fisherbear is the absentee CEO of Stupid Protagonist Productions, and its subsidiary Riverton Coliseum.

WHORES is the CEO of Riverton Concessions.

Lady Mary owns Fisherbear Fish and Chips.

Is it wrong that I'm going after the AYVBs just to sell them to Dragons so that the dragons will be well fed on virgin flesh, and won't attack us, or Riverton?

Neither WHORES nor Lady Elizabeth think so. The protagonist is just a sociopath anyway.

Rename Lady Elizabeth to MORON. Look for ways to increase power for the protagonist.

Unfortuanatly, Brian seems to have cornered most of the local markets. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for power in the frozen wastes.

You, WHORES, Brian, and Lady Elizabeth proceed south along the abandoned road.

You the road diverges here, to the southeast and to the south west.

Night is falling.

Her name is MORON. Brian and MORON can take the southeast road and WHORES and the protagonist can take SW road.

Brian and MORON take the southeast road, you take the southwest road with WHORES.

After traveling for three days, you find yourself in the empty town you discovered when you hunted the trolls.

Rename her Beth, [though "Good Slut" is always a possibility, since I was once playing Final Fantasy VI, when a Drunken neighbor burst in claiming she just fucked a virgin on his birthday, and proudly claimed "I'm such a good Slut" needless to say someone who can kill octopus royalty, and crazy jesters got renamed on the spot.]

begin plotting godfather/kiaser soze style revenge, begin planning for fortifying riverton against more foes like Darkstar and possibly HAB, yes, moats, fortifications, boiling oil, boiling magma, we need to enslave some dwarves.....

Rename Beth to "RANDOM" as in she'll answer to any name given to her. Also backtrack and take the southeast road get the other two to head down the south west route.

You are not close enough to Beth to rename her.

You spend seven days trying to catch up with Brian and Beth. Eventually WHORES asks if you'd like him to fly you to Brian's location.

You have discovered "Perma-name."

Grues do not inhabit this part of Sadeen, but many were killed in the destruction of Stivswa.

Ask Whores to fly the protagonist to the frozen wastes or to whatever the nearest place of power.
