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

Remind me why it is a good idea to leave enemies alive when it is much easier to just off her here and now?

Not like information about the church is hard to get if everyone is already metagaming the shit out of everything as is anyway. And it's not like Anderson can't just go full on Spanish Inquisition on everyone connected to the church now that the cat is out of the bag

Just keep her talking until she bleeds out, then administer the only sacrament we give for heretics and protestants

Because it's faster to interrogate an enemy you already have incapacitated and mentally defeated than to find another one and incapacitate and mentally break them too.
 
You're making it as if incapacitating and mentally breaking heretics is the least fun part of the inquisitioning

it's not, it's the second most fun part, just slightly under listening to them recant their heresy and erroneous way, then accept the Lord Christ right before you send them to St. Peter to sort out
 
We have a townful of heathen cultist to go through, one of them bound to know something, and if we have to go full Spanish Inquisition on the lot of them, then it would just have to be a necessary evil

And we're all about necessary evil

Really, the only reason why we're at this point is because of heavy metagaming, and most of you lot is just gonna use the fake Iosefka as justification for further metagaming. Can we just go back to the whole fanatic murder happy priest being sent into a setting filled with heathens and abomination? Instead of trying to metagame through Bloodborne and make it a land where everyone you like is alive and healthy, and unicorns prance around farting rainbows all over the place.

Oh fuck me, I can't spell.

...in my defense, I have not played the game. Much as I want to, I can't afford a PS4.

Somewhat Emotional Rescue
(Un)fortunately for her, you do still have some questions.

"Fine, then. First, though, yer weapons, weapon-ish things, assorted doodads, and anything else ye might be hidin'. Bein' a gentleman, I won't ask ye ta remove yer clothin', but-"

Okay, yeah, she's about to pass out. Better hurry things up a bit.

"The cane and the pistol are on the floor. I believe you crushed the phantasms to death when you stepped on my hand. Other than that, I have only blood vials and some numbing mist in my robes. I am not lying to you."

You pat her down, retrieving said vials, a pair of syringes, and the little containers of transparent fluid you can only assume are this "numbing mist." Finding nothing else on her, you try to figure out what exactly to do. She's already lost a lot of blood and you don't know where Iosefka keeps the stuff for transfusions, not that you know how blood types work or how to use the damn things at all if you did. You're good at taking blood out of people, not putting it back in. Pulling out the bayonets would just make things worse. That just leaves the gross option.

"How exactly do ye use these things?" you ask, holding out one of the confiscated blood vials.

"Use a syringe. Inject it into my leg. Anywhere works."

This is much less scientific than modern medicine should be.

With a shrug, you do as she says, emptying one of the small vials into the syringe and injecting the lot into her thigh. Before your eyes, her body begins to repair itself; the open wounds on her shoulder and hand close up while the dripping streams from the bayonets trickle to a halt. Her fingers don't grow back, you notice, but the stumps are solid and scar-free, as though they'd been that way since birth. Her breathing drops to a more measured pace, though she's still visibly wincing. Now that the adrenaline's gone, it seems that her nervous system is finally catching up to the situation.

"Thank you, Father Anderson."

"I wouldn't."

As when you first exited the clinic, you produce your Bible and nails and will a ward into existence, surrounding her with the pierced pages.

"Try ta leave the circle and I'll know. I don't think I need ta explain what comes next."

She regards the barrier with curiosity. With her mangled left hand, she reaches towards it, only to draw it back, with a hiss when it reaches the boundary.

"Is this what you had around the Clinic?"

Oh, right. How'd she get through that, anyway?

"How'd ye get through that, anyway?"

"I shattered the back door with the Augur. Whatever force powers this barrier, Ebrietas' is greater."

There's a pause.

"When I get back, yer gonna explain every word o' that sentence."

"Of course."

A couple of those things sounded like proper nouns. That's a bit worrying. As is, you know, the fact that she apparently busted through your ward with sheer force. It may not be as effective on humans as it is on vampires or werewolves, but it's still quite a feat.

You don't have to walk far before you find Iosefka groggily pulling at her restraints. Beside the table stands an IV bag; it seems like Lumnia was in the process of setting it up before she heard you knocking. The Doctor is disheveled and mumbling incoherently, but not visibly hurt. She starts when she sees you, prompting you to hold up your hands.

"Not gonna hurtcha, lass."

She squints. "Father Anderson?"

"It's me, Doctor. Relax."

"Why wouldn't I be relaxed? You're here to help with the patients, aren't you? Now, if I could just get off this table, we can get started on curing that poor man whose hand turned into a spider."

"...What?"

"Hand-spider! You can't expect a man to live like that! Now, I just need to figure out a way to stand up and we can begin."

Whatever Lumnia sedated her with, it seems it was some good shit.

You undo the restraints and help her to her feet, cognizant of her occasional twitches and jerks. With her hand draped over your shoulders, you walk her back towards the stairwell, doing your best to explain the situation. There are a few more imaginary patients, but you can see the haze beginning to lift from her eyes after a minute or two.

"Someone sedated me?" she asks, wide-eyed. She reaches into a pocket in her coat with her free hand, clutching something. "Who? Why?"

"Lady from the Healing Church. Wanted ta replace ye ta draw in some 'subjects,' she says. Ye can ask her more yerself, if ye'd like."

She seems as angry as she is mortified. When you reach the woman in question, Iosefka steps past you, wobbling slightly. Taking in the prone figure, who is doing her best to do the same in spite of her current inability to lean forward, she walks over to a pile of textbooks and picks up the one on top.

You recognize it right before she uses it to break Lumnia's nose. You're not sure if that's technically a proper use of the Holy Word, but it is the heaviest book you can see.

Iosefka returns it to the pile, straightening it as she does, before returning to your side. She's breathing rather more heavily than when she came in.

"I do apologize for using your gift in such a way, Father, but it was the heaviest book I could see."

"No need, Doctor."

You couldn't be more proud.

Did this bitch just claim that a squid is more powerful that the Lord?

We should send Iosefka to Oedon Chapel after we find it since it is the safest place in the game since the large amount of incense keeps the Beasts away and the Dweller is a real bro that cares about people despite being socially akward.

Thankfully we can actually fight that Old One later on to kill to prove that Andersons' God is better.

Gonna need to bring her along until that happens, because this place isn't safe.
