Preemptive Strike

Quest Giver: Gunmar. This quest can occur more than once.

Gunmar has found another hated beast hiding from the light of day. It seems a vampire has infiltrated a group of bandits (or warlocks) and may be about to turn all the inhabitants into bloodsucking fiends. You are to dispatch the vampire and any other hostiles you see fit.

Commence your task by heading to the lair in question, and slay anyone who stands in your way. You need not defeat any of the usual inhabitants (although you can—they’re always hostile toward you). However, you must find and defeat the Master Vampire, snuffing him from this realm, before this quest can conclude.

Quest Conclusion

Once the Master Vampire has tasted your vengeance, trek back to Fort Dawnguard and find Gunmar. He offers a trinket or weapon for your services.

• Leveled Weapon or Item
