Verra noted that he'd feel life seeping away until he emerged undead, if he could manage it. Think I once saw a discussion on rasfw, which suggested that Vlad is a real taltos. Taltos who eat can't use any of their taltos powers, but once they stop, they can do all sorts of funky stuff. So, assuming I remembered correctly, perhaps Vlad just spent enough time in the Paths without eating to get the taltos powers working, and taltos are considered the same as undead as far as escaping the Paths?
