One way or another, the corpses in Racker's Alley are disposed of, and the vampire spawn despoiled in such a fashion to prevent them from rising again. There is some disagreement between Edmond, Brindom and Dj'hân about whether the existence of vampire spawn must mean that their master is still around or not, but in the end you reach the worrying consensus that there must be an Ustalavan vampire loose somewhere in Korvosa. Another unresolved mystery.
Kroft is both worried and grateful for your report. The Marshall looks more worn down than you have seen her before, and Castle Korvosa feels empty, almost half the guard are dead or incapacitated by blood veil. She pays you 2000 gold crowns and wishes you good luck in finding somewhere to spend them.
"They are saying that the dead will soon outnumber the living," she says, "The city is in lockdown, Grey Maidens everywhere enforcing martial law - we're trying to minimise the spread between districts as much as we can but it feels too late."
Sombre news to digest as you head back to Edmond's house, but fortunately Edmond and Brindom manage to shake off the deathly chill of the vampire spawn. It seems that there is no time to rest, however. When you reach the Mer'Cauthon house, there is a hysterical Varisian woman waiting for you.
"My name is Deyanira Mirukova," you eventually learn from her once she has calmed down. "I was one my way to see you with Mamusia Lela; I ws hoping to get your help in finding my brother and the Mamusia said she had something important to tell you. But we were attacked on the way here. Ratmen from the sewers. They took the Mamusia but I got away. You must help us!"

I think we're finished with the vampire spawn episode, and I've already awarded XP for that. Add a 2000gp reward (between you).
You have not had time to rest properly since dealing with the vampire spawn before Deyanira shows up.
Brindom and Edmond both make their Fort saves against the negative level, so they are back to normal.
