Plot: Blessings of Bathory

The local museum is showing off a bit of jewelry from famous women. There's the crown of this, the ring of that and so on. Nothing too interesting for most people but one item in particular has the promise of evil. Within the show is the blood ruby pendant of none other than Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the famous 'Bloody Countess' who was known to bathe in the blood of virgins to retain her youth and beauty. With the jewelry on display, several oddities have been happening at the museum. For every night that the show has been open to the public the museum's security alarms have all gone off at the stroke of midnight. Specifically the internal motion sensors have registered movement in the Natural History wing where an Egyptian Mummy is on display. Coincidence, right?

Rumors

• Vampires would get word that some 'interesting' artifacts might have arrived in town. Tremere, especially, might be on the look out for items in the display.
• Magi might have gotten word that there are parties interested in the jewelry on display and need one piece in particular for something dark. Perhaps there is a wonder hidden among the baubles?
