This is just a general strategy query. I'm playing Diplomacy with the Dead currently, and have run across a group of five vampires. I managed to defeat them with the help of an invulnerability potion and a heroic brew, and many, many reloads. Are there any strategies that make them simpler, especially that could stop them from spawning other vampires?

I had to do that a couple times at first. Use a lot of magic and kill them very fast. Repel Spirit seems to work pretty well at level three. Sword is fast if you are high level.

Make sure you are carrying a deli sandwich when battling the Vampires. All your problems will be solved by that simple item addition.

Try War Blessing or another spell for magic shielding. You should never have to use invulnerabily or divine protection to kill vampires.

Oh yeah, anything that gives you magic resistance is pretty much concentrated awesomeness against spellcasters. Cast Radiant Shield at a decent level and suddenly you're getting fireblasted for 15 damage instead of 100.

Haste your characters before you fight them. then cast radiant shield. Send fighters in for hand to hand. Have mages and cleric zap the vampires with repel spirit.

I think the particular combat he's fighting is an outdoor one, which makes pre-combat hasting tricky. Fortunately, that's what hasting potions are for.

Sorry for my ignorance, but,
Where do I find a Deli Sandwich, and what does it do?

It is a food item. Ignore VCH, as he is merely being a generalised git.

It is a good idea to drink some Gremlin Merlot with your deli sandwich before you rest to recharge your spells and hit points. It does not help you with fights though. :P

Oh and make sure that your party has a nice steak to go with the wine. I am not a git Thuryl, perhaps a Pillock, but most definitely not a git.

It was the fight started from the outdoors. Radiant Shield? Would I have that spell by now? Can it be casted from the map?

Most typing programs with a spell check are accompanied by a dictionary and thesaurus.
