	Already someone has suggested punting this character with the
black heart, "He's only 4th level."  Bull!
	I've one (rhetorical) question on the situation.  How does the
character know the side effect, that he must drink 5 pints of elven
blood per day or die?  I hope this was explained, otherwise, the character
should be run just one more day, then, when his time is up, there's
no longer a problem.  I'll assume the character knows.
	Let's say that the character is lawful goody two shoes.  He has
several options.  He can sacrifice himself for his cause (the good of
everyone else).  He can decide to modify his morality standards.  He
can try to get cured.  I've no idea what resources are available.
	I personally would just continue to run the character, doing the
best I could to survive.  It would add up to a lot of elves.  Depending
on the campaine, it could cut into one's mobility.  In my own, there aren't
that many elves.  (It would take at least two of them to make 5 pints
of blood - they're small).
	The point is, if everything is running as you'd like it, with
no trials and tribulations, you have a rather uninteresting game.  Don't
quit just as the fun begins.
