Did you kill 7000 vampires or let them go?

[bankai千本桜景厳]

I thought about this choice so long and i let them go, but what did you done?

[Ka-mai19]

I let the Gur take them out. Apparently a decent number of them belonged to their group/clan? so I let them have them.

It felt too dangerous to let them all loose

If this was a real campaign, I'd ask my DM how many levels I just gained.

You quite simply can't let that many starved/feral vampires loose in a major metropolis like the Gate. It being a slaughter would be putting it mildly, who even needs Baal at that point? Releasing them was never an option, unfortunately. Putting the lot of them down nigh-instantly was the only vaguely humane choice available.

release them for sport hunting in baldur's gate 4

This would undoubtedly lead to a weeks worth of debate and calculation in my group... though we don't have any information on the composition of the 7000 NPC's and their levels. DM would just have to make up a number in this case. Lol

For 7k kills, minimum 10k XP to be split among the group imo. Pretty much an instant level up for the party unless everyone is already high levels.

Anyways, unleashing 7000 vampires seems like a choice a villain would make. Unless they scattered out, they'd undoubtedly cross paths with my character and end up on the receiving end of my blade so might as well nip that in the bud.

Basic Vampire spawn is marked as 1,800 XP, divided across a party of four means 450 XP for each spawn killed. Times the sheer number, you're looking at 3.15 million XP per party member. Pretty sure that's an instant level 20, even if you halved it with whatever blend of excuses from them being starved and entrapped or w/e.

This is why RAW is a suggestion at best, and DM always has final say.

Which is why I'd ignore the sheet and just throw out something that makes a bit more sense lol

Like what if not all are vampires yet?

I was thinking the same thing. They would roll over towns like a plague and leave nothing but corpses and more vampires.

If it can be of any help in the discussion, when you are a Paladin and kill the vampires you become an Oathbreaker (killing innocents).

I mean, yeah they were innocent but unleashing them into the wild... no way they remain model citizens.

Lock them in, I did not put them there and its not my job to let them out. I am sure some other brave adventurer will deal with it after they are done questing for rats in a basement but I am in no way playing out some dumb moral dilemma game set up by an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trying to get me to feel bad when I am just breaking in for some loot.

[Pieshaman]

I let them go. otherwise I should kill astarion as well or be a hypocrit

[Caffeine]

I think I'll let them go on this playthrough. Just to see what happens.

Not to spoil too much, but don't get your hopes up too much...

I told the Vampire Hunters there children were dead. Then i killed em. Then I used their children so allow my vamp companion to get more POWER!

Then the journal told me to go back and tell the vamp hunters i saved there children.....its stayed unfinished in my logs. Got to love bugs.
