That doesn't kill a vampire it subdues it. To actually kill it you must decapitate, stake, and then stuff with wafers.
Or just...throw it some sunlight.

Depends upon your vampiric myths. If I remeber correctly such an event happened in Dracula and based upon the Vampire Hunter D novels it does happen. I could go dig around.

How to Destroy the Vampire
Common Methods of Destroying a Vampire
Staking: The most commonly used method in the world.
Beheading: Avoid splattering the blood.
Sunlight: Some aged and powerful vampires are immune.
Cremation: Found throughout the world; scatter the ashes.
Peircing with a sword: A blessed sword should be used.
Immersing in water: A bathtub can be used, but body disposal may prove a problem.
Drenching in garlic and holy water: Large amounts have to be hauled to the grave site to assure a clean kill; oil, wine, or vinegar can also be used.
Touching with a crucifix: Destroys a young vampire but is normally used only as a repellent.
Trapping in the grave: Iron bits, red pease, rice(for Chinese species), roses, garlic, sontes, and holy water can be used.
Extracting the heart: Can be very messy.
Less Common Methods of Destroying a Vampire
Stealing the left sock: Useful for only a few species; fill a sock with soil, grave dirt, or rocks, and throw outside of village limits, aiming for a river.
Injecting with holy water: Demands close poximity to vampire.
Magic: Use only a trained sorcerer.
Bottling: Hire a professional Malaysian or Bulgarian sorcerer.
Breaking the spine: Follow by decapitation or other methods.
Using a dhampir: Some dhampirs are disreputable and untrustworthy because of their vampire lineage.
Using animals: Cocks, dogs, and white wolves recommended.
Boiling the heart: Use in conjunction with heart extraction; vinegar, oil, or wine can be used.
Using Sabbatarians: Only if they wear their clothing in particular fashion.

I would just like to say that that is the coolest list of s**t I have ever seen.
I will now kill all vampires by stealing their left sock. Cause...why wouldn't you?
=Edit= Dammit, it only works for a few species. crying

Protecting Yourself from a Vampire
Garlic: Most common protective herb, used on windows, doors, around neck, possibly under armpits; mixed with water it can be sprinkled or sprayed throughout an area.
Holly: Placed around house.
Fishnets: Placed on windows or doors or in the graves to distract vampires who are obsessive about untangling objects.
Seeds: seeds such as mustard or poppy are sprinkled on yards and walkways.
Grain: Oats, millets, and other grains are sprinkled on yards and walkways.
Holy water: Vials can be thrown at vampires, poured into graves or coffins, or sprinkled on doors, windows, thresholds, and other areas.
Juniper: Logs kept in house for their eantievil powers.
Bells: Constant ringing will drive away the undead.
Candles: An abundance of light deters vampires, especially if the candles have been blessed.
Incense: Incense of the Latin rite preferred over the Eastern varieties, but both are acceptable and offer powerful protection.
Tar: Crosses are painted with tar on doors and windows.
Knives and stakes: Stab the vampire in the heart; also useful against the mara.
Mirrors: Placed on doors because they really annoy vampires when they cannot see their own reflection in them.
Stakes or pins: used to impale or pierce, but care must be taken to avoid spurting blood.
Magic or witchcraft: Potent protections, but can be performed only by the trained.
Appeasement with blood: Rarely useful, but a method for stalling until help or the dawn arrives.
Crosses or crucifixes: The traditional method; the use of such sacramentals can hold vampires at bay or can render a grave site useless to them.
Icons: Particularly effective among Byzantine or Orthodox vampires.
Eating of the blood bread: A method used in Poland.
Burial of wine: A method used in Transylvania, not known in many other regions.
Drinking blood brandy: A method used in Pomerania.
Consecrated host: This sacramental is hard to come by and should be handled with care, lest sin of blasphemy cause user more problems than the bisits of a vampire.
Prayer: Always helpful.

At least with Bram Stoker's Dracula you don't need to worry about sunlight.

True. And how many ordained priests are there in the tourney? I'd run a good chance, methinks.
