**Location : Neuberg Abbey (Austria)
 
  
−
Friedrich II von Habsburg died in the Neuberg Abbey the 11 December 1344 at the age of 17.
+
Players are mandated to investigate a monastery where there has been a suspicious murder. All candles from the library come from the seller Eugene Clavicle the skeleton merchant. As a result, they release a poison that drives you crazy.
−
His death is very suspicious because he was the last member of this branch of the House of Habsburg.  
 
−
The Pope wants the inquisition to investigate, because it is the third member of this family to die within few years in this abbey.
 
−
Otto der Fröhliche in 1339 then Leopold II von Habsburg in August 1344 and now Friedrich II in December.
 
−
Their rival Rudolf IV made it very clear to the pope, that he doesn't want any noise. The pope can investigate, but no conclusions can be made public. Officially, they died of illness and that's it.
 
−
In particular, he disarmed the city, made sure all the soldier of this branch of the habsburg were transferred back to Vienna.
 
  
−
This abbey is also the place where the archives of the Societas Templois are kept.
+
'''Back story'''
 +
Father Arnaud is the head of bookbinding. He has to right to fix any books. Including the books at level 4. But he does not have the right to read them. he in fact read one and that drove him mad.
 +
He then was contacted by Eugene, who sold him poisonous candles. Father Arnaud was glad and willing to poison the whole monastery.
  
−
Characters :
+
Father Arnaud, read the story of Saint Thibaud de Vélène, a saint, that turned mad and killed everyone and turned their bones into a monument. Arnaud started to admire him a lot.
−
*Abbot Albrecht, a writer
 
−
*Father Superior Oldaric, the book binder (the evil one)
 
−
*Father Superior Arnaud (French), the illuminator he is on a trip to Avignon
 
−
*Brother Galeazzo (Lombard), the doctor
 
−
*Brother Conrad, the friend and confessor of Friedrich II (crazy)
 
−
*Brother Eudes, the cook
 
  
 +
Father Etienne started to do some very bad work because of the poison. In particular he drew a very bad image of the Saint Thibaud de Vélène monument. That made Arnaud very angry and he decided to kill him, shame him (that's why he's naked) and put the paper in his mouth.

'''Action : Ask to see the body of Friedrich II von Habsburg : '''
 
  
−
*Brother Galeazzo (Lombard), the doctor
+
They can see father Etienne's body. There's a weird letter in his mouth. '''Music Danse Macabre'''
  
−
'''Music When they analyse the body : Z_Normal-Palais des Papes''' Small body in a red white red flag. ‘''His hands are joined’'' and his eyes are closed. Lots of incense burning around him.
+
The letter looks like a part of Father Etienne's illumination, but no book has any missing illumination (because it comes from a book that Father Arnaud was restoring, but there are other copies of this book.)
  
−
'''Action : Check eyes and mouth ''' His eyes are completely red and his tongue is swollen. He was clearly poisoned but could be suicide.
+
At the moment when they say that to the senior father, someone was listening to the door. They hear someone running away
 +
A little later, a book is found burned in the library (it was the book from which came the illumination)
  
−
'''Action : Analyse poison or medicine : '''
+
The remains of the book are illegible. The title, everything burned. On the other hand, the book has an extremely particular format. Finding another copy, they can find the illumination.
−
The Composition of Death, red copper, nitric acid, verdigris, arsenic, oak bark, rose water and black soot
+
=> So it's a murder! A soldier will remain in reinforcement.
  
−
'''Action : Open his hands '''
+
Study and topologies of known heresies (title of the book)
−
'''Music Danse Macabre''' A scar on his chest, his heart is missing ! The doctor didn't notice this when he got the corpse. It was removed after his death. Clearly a '''murder''' ! A soldier per player will remain in reinforcement.
+
The book lists various known heresies.
 +
Ex: The church that burned 25 times
  
−
'''Action : Ask to see the body of Otto der Fröhliche or Leopold II von Habsburg : ''' They both have the same scar, all hearts are missing. It looks like a heresy but it's not a good enough proof.
+
Ex: The chewing vampire
−
They notice a signet ring at Otto der Fröhliche’s hand.
 
  
−
'''Action : Inspect the ring ''' There's a coat of arm with what appears to be a tree with two trunks and black wings. (if knowledge or knowledge heresy) That's the coat of arm of a Pagean ! Definitely a heresy ! A soldier will remain in reinforcement. If not, then they need next step :
+
The page in question speaks of a person, initially considered a saint, who heard the voice of God. Saint Thibaut of Velène
 +
He had a cohort of followers.
  
−
[[File:Coat.jpg]]
+
He was finally tried as a heretic, the day the voice of gods gave him the order to have his whole village executed and he began to erect a monument with the bones.
  
−
'''Action : Ask around in the monasteries if anyone know those coats of arms, search the library : '''
+
Illumination is supposed to represent the monument being erected.
  
−
Study and topologies of known heresies (title of the book)
+
In the monastery, there are candles to an old statue of Saint Thibault de Velene. Even if his face was destroyed. => So it's a heresy. Two more guards remain.

Father Etienne's work deteriorated to the point of becoming abstract.

If they entrust her to the madman. He will tell them it's a code. It means traitor. He will remain friends with them and tell them not to show this to anyone.
