Regarding enlisting help from 3 groups (or 2, if you did not side with the shadow master earlier) -

It's okay to enlist help. After that is done, if you don't want to lose the thrill (and XP) from killing vampires yourself, you can keep your main character behind, out of the hot spots, and move summons forward to fight for you. At least some fights won't start until your main character or party (not summons) is near. Once you are in the inner sanctum, if you park your main character at the entrance, the 3 group leaders will stay here, until the battle is over. If you are a solo character, after entering the inner sanctum you'll have to run up to open a door and run back to the entrance. Of course, if you solo but can't build an army of summons to fight for you, this won't work.
