You have encountered a Vampire.  If the vampire is Celgor and you say
"CELGOR", he will be cautious and probably leave you alone.  If you have a
tough character in the hex, they can challenge "VAMPI", or you can chose the
"ATTACK" option.  I understand Celgor's full name is "Vampire Celgor".
Should you win, you gain treasure and if a mage, a lost list spell.  It
thought by my friends that you need a challenge of around 80 to have a good
chance of winning a fight.  Don't know what happens in the other choices,
but I'll bet there is a good chance that if you talk, you end up drained to
1 health for some 'odd' reason. :-)  FLEE probably won't work.
