Anderson Quest: Killing Vampires and Werewolves and Leprechauns (Hellsing/Bloodborne)

[x] Discuss numbers of Church followers, known leaders, how many big guys they might have, things o' that nature.
-[x] Does anyone have any idea where the 'secret higher ups' might be? It would probably be best to have somewhere to aim for.
 
Probably building a new, advanced society inhabited by their fellow fat-crows, with the end goal of inventing the complaints department, so that they have a mechanism to complain to Anderson about him sealing away the gigantic slab of eldritch meat that is just LYING over there, have you ever SEEN such a terrible WASTE?!?
They weren't eating it. Hell, they were daring each other to be the first one to try eating it.
 
[X] Look for more civilians before attacking

God, I cannot wait for Vacuous Rom. More specifically, Anderson's reaction to what happens afterwards.
 
OK, what's your IC logic for not killing the giant many eyed spider slug?
Djura not liking it - he doesn't like killing other beasts, why would Anderson think this would be so different?
And as clearly Anderson is rather set on having people with him when shit goes down, well, need to offer some consideration.

Plus IIRC Rom... doesn't really attack.
Why spend time fighting it when there are actually evil assholes to go after instead?
Including the one who keep setting up levers goddamn everywhere.
 
Its a Great One. We're after Great Ones. ROM must die. Die. DIE. DIE DIE DIE. DIE THE DEATH SENTENCE TO DEATH GREAT EQUALIZER IS THE DEATH!

Fuck I hate Rom. Ruining my level 1 runs.

We've been doing pretty good at avoiding some of the stuff the leads to really bad things happening (the kids are actually alive, so is Iosefka while the fake one was killed off).
I think we should at least try and keep that up with regards to Rom.

"...Wait. My finely-tuned and well-honed monster-hunter instincts are telling me something is off here.

"...Oh, yeah. IT'S NOT DOIN' SHITE!

"No self-respecting monster just sits there lookin' off inta space without even glarin' at ya. It's not even looming menacingly like a proper spider-monster should.

"Let's move on."

Well if that's the case, fuck the chapel, fuck the upper ward, find Yarharhar'ghul and kill bell-ringing pirate bitches.

[X] Upper Cathedral Ward

most likely to have knowledge of yarharhar

Iosefka just spent a lot of time setting up clinicky stuff, it'd be a shame if she never got to use it.

On the other hand, the Grand Cathedral is like a two minute walk from Oedon Chapel, and Anderson + Eileen + two Powder Kegs is amazing overkill versus Amelia. So much so I kind of hope that situation resolves in something other than a massacre. It seems likely there was some kind of story content cut from the game that explains a little more about the Vicar, perhaps Tricia has some ideas along those lines? Anyway, if anyone would have a problem with killing the giant dogbeast with fabulous hair, it'd be Djura.

On the other hand, the Boss Room at the Upper Cathedral is literally right next door to Vicar Amelia's chamber. You even walk over it on the way to Ebrietas.

I dont know man. I dont think anderson, a man willing and eager to kill fellow humans , would hesitate in killing a giant spider monster. I mean that old one was just hanging out on the side of the chapel and we picked a fight with him.
 
well, to be fair, the one at the Chapel did kinda-sorta try to smash him to paste and then to burnsplode him with eye lasers, so it did kinda attack us first.

though, if it's as invisable as the one at the Chapel was to Anderson, he may walk right by it and thus bypass the issue entirely.

Changing vote for consistency.

But it's a giant spider monster that doesn't react to his presence in the slightest, not even tensing up the littlest bit when Anderson readies to attack. It can plainly see him, since there's absolutely no cover blocking its ridiculous number of eyes, but it's not looking at him or anything at all. Not to mention that it's just standing on the ground, rather than hanging from walls or ceilings or webs at the center of a deadly trap. Further, it's standing around in bright light without a single concealing shadow to be seen, out in the open without a single thing to climb up or scurry behind. There isn't even a single other small spider to be seen, let alone the customary swarm of attack-babies.

That whole picture is so WRONG for a giant spider-monster that Anderson would "lose the mood".

"If it looks like a duck, but doesn't walk like a duck or quack like a duck, then there's clearly some weird bullshit going on here that stabbing probably would only make worse, and I'm better off going to stab something else unless until I learn otherwise."

Honestly with the Rom situation I think the GM would probably have us come across a group of hunters from the School of Mensis trying to kill it or something.

...Have you watched the series Anderson is from? Do you even know who we're playing?

If it don't walk or quack like a duck then its something that clearly needs to be stabbed!

You're still not understanding the subtleties involved.

When something looks harmless (a person, a duck, an apple) but is throwing up a lot of weird signs, that a good indication that it is actually something dangerous in disguise.

When something looks dangerous, but is throwing up a lot of weird signs, that is a good indication that it is actually something harmless in disguise. Either as a voluntary effort to trick stupid predators into leaving it alone, or as an illusion placed created by someone else who wants someone to kill it.

I figure Anderson has had at least ONE unfortunate experience with a sadistic vampire or ghost or witch making an innocent victim look like a monster so that they could laugh at him after he's murdered the victim. Or a vampire needed some holy vessel destroyed but couldn't approach it, so they tricked the Scourge of God into doing the devil's work for them.

So, no. I really do think that when Anderson finds a spider-monster acting so thoroughly unlike a spider OR a monster, he's going to find it weird enough to ask questions BEFORE stabbing stuff.

Especially if he remembers the notes about "the Bergenwyrth spider" and how it's hiding rituals from the heathens in the Church of Healing.
