So, from the sound of it, [@Jove] hires [@Mae] an I to steal the artifact. A spell book makes most sense. For my revenge on [@Pirouette], maybe the witch was both of our descendants. My character chose her to become the vessel for the witch to return. Is this close?

Hmm... Why would the Step-Father hire his Step-Daughter to steal an artifact? 

Agreed, Spellbook makes the most sense. 

So would be related? Hm... What if the story of the witch is just an urban legend that turns out true? In that case, your character can still try to get his revenge through those same means? At the very least, have my character caught with a stolen artifact.

[@Cao the Exiled] I'm really liking the sound of this. Perhaps [@Pirouette] may not know she's a descendant?

I had intended on my character not knowing she's a descendant.
