(Investigating… challenge; modest at 20)

Do you know…I think both of them are rather charming.

Is she his sister? How open-minded are these modern clergy? Perhaps it's time to find out. But if this goes wrong, your relationship with them will be utterly destroyed. [Succeed or fail, your Investigating will be reset.]

Not quite archaeology

A friend has found a valuable cache of Second City relics. Well, 'found'. More correctly, 'baked some clay tablets, scratched nonsense into them and then rubbed them with dust.' But that's a pedant's objection.

Well, if they’ve been stolen then they must be worth something, right?
