I dropped the thread about the vampire because the blog was getting long and the vampire wound up not that important to the outcome— at least for now.
They spotted the vampire sneaking across the wall, up above the doors. It was using its spider climb ability to stick to the stone 20 feet up. They spotted it just as it was moving to shut the doors. It closed the doors, plunging the whole interior back into darkness, but the members of the party in the room acted quickly. Duncan attacked, Terence turned the vampire, and Meraxes reopened the doors. Once turned, the vamp turned into a cloud of vapor and floated away. The group couldn't determine where it went (there wasn't enough light to see) and decided not to pursue it. Recovering Baynor's body and ensuring nobody was killed by the ancient wraith while doing so was the primary mission.
