Relic Hunting
Stacey McClung can be assigned to continue her search for ancient relics and artifacts. The relic hunter engine generates random relics and their respective quest chains.

- Fame (500+): +10
- Historical Society Standing (10+): +10

Quest
Once Stacey has finished researching the relic, you can generate a quest by asking her about the relic. Quests are randomly generated, and can take you to multiple locations, and involve varying amounts of combat and/or skill rolls. Bringing backup is highly recommended.
Relic Processing
Once you have retrieved the relic, you can talk to Stacey to process the relic, where you will be given the choice to sell the relic for money, donate the relic for standing with the Historical Society, or keep the relic for Influence and other potential bonuses. Kept sexual relics will increase household Corruption; relic weaponry will provide a combat Training bonus, and occult relics will give Occult skill.
