The Progeny Problem

The Progeny Problem is a Vampiric Clan quest available in. The Agent is tasked with destroying a vampire they had inadvertently created after contracting vampirism.

Background
Having contracted vampirism and been recognised as a member of one of the Iliac Bay's nine Vampiric Clans, the Agent will be contacted to complete quests at the behest of their fellow bloodline members.

Objectives

 * Await the delivery of a letter.
 * Journey to the town specified in the letter.
 * Speak with the contact.
 * Journey to and enter the dungeon mentioned by the contact.
 * Track down and slay the Vampire spawned by the Agent.
 * Return to the contact before the time limit expires to complete the quest.

Walkthrough
After obtaining the approval of one of the Vampiric Clans of the Iliac Bay, the Agent will receive a letter, delivered by 'a pale young boy'. The letter instructs the Agent to speak with another member of their bloodline, whom has knowledge of a former foe that has come 'back from the grave' and is now causing a problem for the Clan. The Agent is therefore told to meet with the contact to discuss how to deal with their vampiric progeny.

A Spoiled Meal
The Agent must travel to the town specified in the letter, before finding the building in which the contact resides. Upon speaking to the contact the Agent will be informed that the Agent's 'progeny' is not worthy of being retained by the bloodline. As the creator of the 'mad, virgin vampire', it is the Agent's duty to slay their 'child' and prevent any disruption to the Clan's 'civilized vampiric business'.

The contact reveals the location of the dungeon that the vampire has been inhabiting, into which the Agent must delve. Once inside the Agent must track down their progeny, whom will announce their presence when first hit:

"Better not spare that rod, my parent. You'll spoil me."

- A vampiric progeny

"I know you. You were the last face I saw, smeared with the blood of my body. Come, my dear creator, let us embrace."

- A vampiric progeny

"Your face is the face of my nightmare, [Agent's name]. You are the one who cursed me to this life, aren't you?"

- A vampiric progeny

Once the vampire has been slain the Agent must return to the contact before the time limit expires to complete the quest successfully.

Rewards
The Agent will not receive any kind of reward for completing the quest successfully, although there will be a change to their reputation with other factions. Interestingly, there will be no change in reputation with the Agent's vampiric bloodline, regardless of success or failure.

The changes in reputation, based on success or failure, are shown below:

Trivia

 * This quest can in theory be given to the Agent regardless of whether they had completed The Blessing of Vampirism or not.
 * NPCs have a variety of remarks to make about the quest during its activation:
 * Acceptance: "The grave of [Vampire's name] must have been robbed. It's all ... torn up." or "There's been a lot of activity around [dungeon] lately. At night."
