Might want to also incorporate Bloodborne into it somehow.Gave it a shot. I think it came out as bleh.

Err, pale blood moon on the background?

Also, the subtitle is false advertising. We haven't killed any vampires or leprechauns at all! (Yet)
I know. I was considering a quote from the quest that'll describe it best, but I couldn't think of one at the moment.

I like the banner ... but as someone with no prior knowledge of Bloodborne, I didn't get the reference. Just looks like a generic washed-out spooky full moon.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to find a good quote that conveys what the quest is really about, such as the black comedy, feels, fat crows, and eldritch nuns.
Hmm.
Maybe a generic tagline like, "Converting and/or stabbing heretics and Great Ones in the name of the LORD." Can't use Mediocre Ones as people won't get the joke until they've read the quest.
The bit on the right with Anderson's glasses is perfect.
"In Yharnam, nobody knows you're quoting Boondock Saints."
Seems like a good tag line.
Alt tag line: "Crusading is how Catholics Hunt. You heathen monsters!- 'Anderson' "
But the main background I think needs a bigger moon with some like eldritch stuff to the side?

Yeah, that one's good. Conveys that (1) this is Abridged!Anderson and (2) it's a cross with Bloodborne. That's good use of advertising space.

Thanks for the input. Here's version 2:

Very nice!Thanks for the input. Here's version 2:
Minor nitpick: the color of the tagline is kind of hard to pick out against the moon (the "qu" part of "quoting"). Maybe up the red of the moon so that it's the red bloodmoon instead of the palemoon?
Also, what would it look like if you replaced the "T" in "Quest" with crossed bayonets? Hmm. Might be a bit much, now that I think of it.

I was thinking of a Catholic cross myself.
Good point. And yeah, I guess it's supposed to be that red. Here's V3:
Detail saturation. You can put too much detail that it overloads the viewer's attention, and drowns out the rest of the pic. Gotta prioritize what you want to show and what message you want to convey.
Ehh, that'll be a good way to get rejected I think. Religious iconography and and all.
Gonna leave it at this for now until @Tricia wants something changed.

Dang, that looks awesome. Onto the OP it goes.

Looks fuckin' fantastic. Definitely one of the best banners I've seen so far. Excellent work, @defenestrator!

So, I've just read through this quest, and its hilarious. But one thing really bugs me. Why does Anderson not just teleport through the gates, and pull the lever that is ever so conveniently on the other side?
edit: also, why have no leprechauns been mentioned even though they are part of the title?

He doesn't wait for your response before making a desperate bid to wrench free of your grasp. It's not the careful, technical escape of a warrior, but the frantic thrashing of a caught animal. Kind of like a really big ferret that also hates you.
"Hold yer horses, Alfred," you say, pointedly ignoring his attempts to loosen your grip by punching you in the stomach. "Ye've gotta do somethin' before I letcha go."
"What else could you possibly want from me?" he replies. Judging by his twitching jaw and repeated glances towards his caught forearm, you think he might be weighing the merits of chewing it off to escape.
"Go back and apologize ta the lady for bein' rude."
He stops cold and just stares at you for a bit, getting his wits back just before you wind up to smack him in the face with his own hand.
"You want me to apologize."
"Yep."
"To the gigantic abomination sitting on top of the chapel you have utterly profaned with your presence."
"The same."
"Why."
"Common decency."
"I hate you so much."
"I know."
He doesn't protest as you all-but-literally drag him back towards the front door. You don't begrudge him the reaction; realizing you've completely lost control of your life can be rather jarring.
Luckily for his shins, he surmounts the stairs unassisted. Once up top, you give him an inspiring shove towards Ebrietas, who is "sitting" with her hands on her lower tentacles.
"I apologize for my earlier rudeness," says Alfred in an unsettling monotone. "I acted hastily and without consideration for your feelings."
That's very nice of you. Thank you...?
"Alfred."
Thank you, Alfred. What are you going to do now?
"I was going to take a seat over there by the gun and re-evaluate my life choices."
Well, good luck with that.
In robotic fashion, Alfred wanders over towards Ellis and sits down on a pack of munitions, staring out towards the overlarge moon.
Who is he?
"One o' the Executioners. Met him over by the entrance ta old Yharnam before I picked up the Powder Kegs. He saw ye toss me and came ta chew me out for destroyin' the Church. Hell of a throw, by the way."
She somehow beams at you without a mouth, then turns back towards Alfred, who has not moved an inch since sitting down. Maybe he and Rosemary could start a support group.
We're the good guys, right?
"Aye."
Before the conversation can get too heavy, you rummage through your sleeves and produce one of the hooded women's bells. Ebrietas leans forward to scrutinize it, switching from one eye to the other.
"Any idea what this is? The ladies doin' the summonin' each had one."
It's not dissimilar from the eye you showed me earlier; it's a link between this world and another one. The difference is that while the eye transports one's entire being into the other world, this simply creates a copy of the target's body and transfers their consciousness to it. I believe that when the copy dies, the consciousness returns to the original body.
"That sounds ripe for abuse," you say.
"Case in point" replies Liam as you hear yet another interloper burst into flames.
"So what would happen if I tried ta use it?"
I'm not sure. Sorry.
"Nah, don't be. Learned a lot."
She hands the bell back to you and you return it to its home among your other goodies. You scan the roof for Simon and spot him looking through one of the Powder Kegs' sacks of melee weapons, running his fingers over the edges and taking a few practice swings. He seems to be adjusting well to being in the future, although that's not too surprising considering that he's used to Yharnam being a beast-infested shithole.
"What should we do if Alfred tries to make a run for it?" asks Liam. "I've still got the burlap sack downstairs if you need it."

Well, that was nice. Always a pleasure talking to Ebrietas.
Anyone else want to drop by the Dream, maybe hand over the sword to Gherman while bragging about how our God is better than the sword's? Or just handing it over without the bragging, I mainly want to see what he can make of it.

Oh, right!
Hope wants to meet Ebrietas, maybe we should mention it to her (Ebrietas) before heading to the Dream, seeing if there's a way to facilitate communication (with a possible side benefit of working on discovering the Moon Presence)?

Nice to have a man with a burlap sack on hand, sometimes friendship requires a little, motivation, for the more obstinate people.
