I would like to investigate what happened to Duke Antonio and try to locate his heart's location and retrieve it if possible. I was present for his staking and he did intend to explain the full situation once we got back to Klagenfurt.
(ooc: just before he left the game he came to me verbally and said as much, but he hasn't had a chance to actually do so on the board and the deadline is approaching. If this action is still possible, then I would like to attempt it.)

Academics (Quadrivium) 2
Investigation 1
Leadership 1
Lore (Cainite) 2

You sit down and study your library and wrack you brain for knowledge about exactly what was done.
Your eventual single win grant you further knowledge that this is obviously a Setite power and that once removed the Heart can be hidden, transported or treated in any manner. However, staking the heart will cause the individual's body to become staked. Burning it will destroy them and exposure to fire will do the same even a single point of damage issues in this way will destroy it and the Cainite.
You learn of a Elder Auspex power that might be able to find parts of a whole.
You also come to the conclusion that even if you had a wraith search they would have to be pretty near the heart in order to discover it if they could.
However, with a devious twist of mind you realize that by placing the weight of the Tomb upon someone in a clever manner you might be able to get them to reveal the location or possessor to you. At the least it will show you if they know anything as they would be facing damage to go counter to what ever curse you placed upon them.

Could I install that new ritual chamber feature in my haven? A necromantic version, obviously, that would possible enhance rituals and/or make Necromancy usage easier/faster/more efficient?

his Tests: rock, scissors, paper, paper, rock (Win, bonus - win)
our tests: S, P, R, R, P
Additional requirement: Resources x 3
Result:
Utilizing your Pagan Influences and scrounge you manage to get leads on all the rare and specialty materials you feel are needed to enhance your haven with a casting chamber. You set aside a appropriate room and put together the basics and design structures. Even though you are not a craftsman you carve small channels and Necromantic symbols into the hard packed dirt floor of this room in preparation for filling with silver and marked at special points with Jewels. All that remains is to create a small ritual for "Hallowing" the place, getting the silver and gems and completing the circles/glyphs.
Bonus:
Word comes to you through your pagan contacts. A noble family that has had rumors floating about them that they are not as tied to the new god as they should be are having issues. It is said that some of their ancestors disagree with the way the family is currently being run and have decided to haunt the halls of the old family fortress. After some coaxing you agree to visit and help clear the halls of the ghosts in exchange for enough silver, gold and gems to complete your chamber.
Returning to your haven you start a fire using the dried bones of a shaman, the shroud cloth of a deceased mother.... Placing a crucible over the resulting coals you melt down the silver and pour it into your carved channels. Making sure to carefully place each gem at the needed location. You discover you have just enough silver left over to bury a wraith fetter in the dead center of the circle and pour the enchanted silver over it.
Haven now has a casting chamber.
