No. The ring is on Adrianna's body. However, it is one of those quest items that will only materialize once you have completed the quest - (in this case given the scroll to Adrianna and chosen the ring as your gift). Since it will only materialize once that is done it means that she will not drop the ring once she has been killed prematurely. The ring will simply not have materialized yet in that case.

You should perhaps consider going back to that saved game if it is not too much trouble. The ring is worth it when you are a vampire. You can always kill the vampires afterwards (in fact they will attack you anyway).

Also: Unless you became a vampire back in Shurugeon Castle (at Lysandra's place) you can choose not to be a vampire at all by declining Adrianna's offer (the power of the Succubi). [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just to recapitulate the sequence of events is as follows:

1. You meet Adrianna when exploring the castle. She charges you with the task of retrieving the Scroll of Banishing. If you return to her without it the vampires will attack you.

2. You retrieve the scroll and bring it to her.

3. She thanks you and offers you the "power of the Succubi". I.e. the opportunity to become a vampire.

4. She then offers you a choice of either the key to the study or the ring. As explained above the key is next to useless.

5. Adrianna will then perform a ceremony in which she tries to use the scroll. It fails and the vampires start attacking her. At this point you are free to kill them all.

I hope you find this useful. [img]smile.gif[/img]
