Well, I thought this would escalate quickly, and it definitely did. So, I say that we try to save him and weigh our options a little more before we forgive him or throw him under the bus. But, if things go south or the elves are angry at the dwarves as a whole for this there is probably a good chance that we can just be like "He's a vampire, this aggression doesn't come from the dwarven empire as a whole.". Unfortunately, the elves being able to actually sense that he is a night creature will most likely lead to some problems if we do decide to forgive him. Conversely, them being able to sense his vampirism will strengthen our story that he is indeed a rogue vampire and will hopefully stop further hostilities. There is also a pretty good chance that the elf is actually still alive at the bottom of the crevice because we a). didn't see the actual fall (most likely purposefully) b). didn't see him hit the bottom (so we have no idea if it's just a shallow crack or a giant canyon) c). If the vampire brought him all the way out there to throw him down the pit and then drink his blood chances are the crevice is only deep enough to stun and bruise him and not reduce him to a splatter on the ice (because then the vampire wouldn't have the pleasure of drinking warm blood from a living host). Overall, I have no idea where this is going to go, but hopefully we at least save the potential informal treaty Jack just made. As for the wolves, if we manage to kill a few of them we'll have some meat, hide, and bones. We could potentially knock one out or hurt it enough to pass out from pain so we could bring it back to try to tame it, but in an open fight that shouldn't be any kind of priority. Finally, I am still surprised just how damn valuable a gold goblet is when prepared correctly, we could literally buy everything they have with them for less than a single goblet is worth.
