I
like that, about the diamonds.
As it turns out, the PCs have discovered a trove of diamonds, almost cartoonishly big and glittering. One of them has (without any skill) valued them at 'hundreds of millions of dollars', while another has confidently claimed that these are theatrical props, because no one actually owns dozens of flawless multi-carat diamonds.
Investigation might reveal that there
have been several reported thefts of diamonds in USA in the last months, though nowhere near enough to account for more than a dozen diamonds who
each look to be worth something between a new sport car and a used yacht. Though excellent investigation, some successful rolls and use of contacts and Patron might reveal that in the past three months; several insurance companies, owners and/or police departments have made attempts of varying success to avoid publication of diamond thefts, successful or not.
Oh, and the diamonds were glowing with energy that a Thaumatology skill check confirmed looked pretty magical, and which other details in the scene suggested might have some pretty chilly connotations.
