Killing a Vampire Intelligence

[Psychotic]

I'm wondering what would happen to all the Vampires an Intelligence created by splintering it's Essence if the Intelligence itself were somehow killed before it could Teleport away.

Would they continue to exist as normal?

Would they keep all their abilities except the ability to create new Vampires (since the source of the Essence Fragments is gone)?

Or would they all drop dead where they are because the Essence Fragment that is at the heart of their power and existence (the Essence Fragment) dies when it's creator dies?

Personally, I'm leaning towards the If the Master Intelligence Permanently Dies, so does all it's Essence Fragments and the Vampires they inhabit...
