Men of the Internet! TRIPLE N IS OVER! The month was long and the challenge hard. To those who faltered, I wish you better luck next year. And to those who stayed strong, I say... enjoy your freedom!
"As things stand, all of Corvus Bay will be in some seriously hot water unless we can recover what the thieves have stolen." January said. "Ever heard the story of Old King Crow and the Dragon? Well the story is true and the dragon is still here. The thieves took something of hers that was kept in this cathedral. She didn't tell me what it was that was stolen from her, but after picking up from how she acted that she was worried about it breaking, I can hazard a guess as to what it could be. Tell me, Pater, what's the first thing that springs to mind when you think of something breakable that a female dragon values?"
January paused to let a mix of the priest's own thoughts and January's innate vampiric influence lead Father Ramon to the inevitable conclusion. Dragons were known for being very protective of their treasure and for becoming very angry when forced to part with even a single coin. But while dragons were capable of doing some serious damage after losing their treasure, a mother dragon could bring about full on catastrophes in her desperation to find her egg if parted from it for too long.
January attempts to persuade Father Ramon to allow investigation for the good of the city. He rolls a 9, but uses Irresistible to treat his 9 as a 10+ result.
January sighed in relief when his stare down with Yuki ended with the magical girl heading back to her car to drop off her weapon. The old vampire winced as Yuki simply tossed her gun onto the back seat and offered a short prayer of thanks to Fortuna for deciding against having the gun go off from the impact. "Thank you for understanding." January said to Yuki once she had returned. "Let's head in."
January led the way into the church while quietly muttering a prayer to his gods under his breath for the will power and patience to not crucify any servants of Christ he found in the cathedral until he had the information he needed at the very least. As he entered, January knew immediately that Power was at work here. The various holy symbols and decor gave off a vibe only present in places where a religion's more... esoteric traditions haven't been forgotten. And nothing gave off more of those vibes than the priest who had greeted them upon entry. But more than that January could not say. He did not know the priest and the priest did not know him.
"The name's January." January said once the priest was done talking. "This is Yuki. We're looking to track down the thieves that broke into this cathedral recently. Would you happen to know where we might find any clues that could lead us to them?"
