Folks, this doesn't often happen to me, but I think I'm suffering from that "why the hell would these people work together" syndrome. In a fast-paced, pulpy adventure game it's no biggie. Just roll with it! In a moody period piece like this, my suspension of disbelief is just breaking. I don't see this crew hanging out with my (chaotic, devil-worshipping) witch, and vice-versa.
So while I really like the game, the characters and the unfolding plot... (you're doing a great job, LauraChiGio), I'm probably going to step back here and remove Magdalena, greatly simplifying the scene and the story.
