Trouble at St. Andral’s
Hook
The theft of St. Andral’s bones left Vallaki’s nightly refuge exposed. The company recovered the relics, and Father Lucian has now restored the church’s sacred protection.
Evidence
- In Session 29, Lucian completed the ritual with the returned bones and rewarded the company with sending stones.
- Father Lucian says the removal of St. Andral’s bones left the nightly congregation unprotected.
- He suspected Milivoj’s frightened sister after telling her about the relics; Milivoj instead admitted stealing them himself.
- The crypt beneath the chapel floor was empty and had been forced open with a blunt object.
- Milivoj sold the bones to the coffinmaker for seventy-five silver after the man asked about magical bones.
- Rage recovered them from the upstairs bedroom wardrobe and sent Milivoj straight back to Lucian.
- The coffinmaker, cowering on his shop floor, admitted someone hired him to obtain them. Ignatius could not get the name.
- The Watcher family bones were ruled out as the missing church relics.
Current understanding
Milivoj delivered the bones, and the company witnessed Lucian complete the consecration. Henrik admitted that vampires persuaded him to obtain the relics and described an old man called Vasily. Henrik was left with Lucian; two vampires escaped the shop.
