Anyone else noticed how Joy's stats are slowly being revealed? Perhaps the most interesting thing is the power 'Jötunn'. A quick search shows that a Jötunn is a giant in Norse mythology, though I'm not sure how that is relevant to Joy.

We should now go after the banshee, it shouldn't take long to check if the banshee has gone.
Jötunn? Where does it say that?

Check on the banshee.

This blade is super-sharp, right? If it's sharp enough, cut the lamp post down along it's center and bend the halves around the prisoner's body. The prisoner is of higher priority than the banshee, as the prisoner has unknown capabilities, and must be delivered to the Clockworkers at all costs.

Idea for confinement: dice all of him into centimetre sided cubes, then spread them out. Presumably, only one will begin to regrow (if not, the creature would have used this method reproduction and we'd have been encountering them all the time). Take that, and put it inside a pipe section from one of the damaged lampposts, then tie knots on the ends of the pipe section so it is hermetically sealed.

cut off his head and take it with you. "trim" it occasionally with the sword.

This would cover the streets with his blood as it constantly regenerates.

I dont see why Joy would be bothered by this though, so, seconded.

Yeah. Also, I think if Joy's original self is in there anywhere, she'd freak out about it. If not the combat, than certainly dragging around a regenerating head. Not to say that Guardian Unit Three-Seventy won't or shouldn't do it, just that it might get interrupted by Joy. (I don't know if that would actually happen in real life, as I have no education in this field)

I think the guardians have been dragging around bleeding and half-alive corpses all the time. It would simply be standard procedure.
Her original self might be in there, but i think it would manifest itself while doing irregular actions such as talking and resting rather than regular threat neutralization.

That's far more work than is necessary. Just cutting off the head should work fine.

No it won't, enlightened can regenerate from just a brain, the target regenerates faster than an enlightened and presumably better. It will probably regenerate from any amount of material that there is.

Cut off the head, see which part regenerates. Does the head grow from the body, or vice versa? If it's the latter, bringing in the target is a simple procedure. Otherwise, it's more difficult.

Maybe we could cut off the head, then put something in the way. Or impale the head or neck with the sword, preventing the brain or spine from regrowing until the sword is removed. This would render the target unconscious for an indefinite period of time. (This is my suggestion. Perform it, ensure that the target does not regain consciousness, go after banshee.)

Yes, but carrying a regenerating head around is as simple as cutting off the neck once in a while. I'm basically agreeing with this plan:
cut off his head and take it with you. "trim" it occasionally with the sword.

You have to small pockets to fit a head, and it require maintenance. My method is fire and forget, once we have it we con continue hunting the banshee.
