talk to the people there, ask for service, they will point to you the house where the vampire lives. Those kills are mainly from feeding, so dont be worried about him, he is probably some kind of cheesemaker with as much fighting skill as a dead clam. dont forget to drink his blood afterward

Only mostly accurate. Yes, most of those kills are from feeding, but the fighting skill and profession of the vampire varies greatly. In worlds with very long histories, they are often quite capable, and my most recent adventurer vampire hunter had to face two soldier vampires in a row, complete with real weapons and iron armour. That said, any nearby villagers will gladly pile in to help after you use the "accuse of being a night creature" conversation topic and they do a wonderful job of attracting the vampire's attention. When in doubt, inspect your vampire with (l) to see what sort of gear they're carrying and if you decide not to risk it, just don't accuse them. They're entirely nonhostile until provoked and will gladly direct you to something else to kill if you talk to them about service.

Relating to your last post: yes, you will become a vampire if you drink the blood, with all the benefits and disadvantages that entails.

So i was searching through a catacomb of a keep and i kept finding tons and tons of copper armor.(breastplate,mail shirt,etc.)I wasn't finding any luck other than a few pesky kobolds enemy-wise. I opened a malachite door and stumbled on a room. It was a 3x10 room filled with more armor and weapons on every square. At least 7 dwarven bandits come after me. What were they doing, Just lying on each other waiting for someone? hahah
