| + | Il est en charge de l'oeurve au rouge, qu'il fait dans calais avec des cadavres de français soit disant mort de la peste (en réalité ils sont enlevées en masse et sacrifiés) |
| − | He apparently started sane, then lost his mind but kept using his notebook(which explains why he has it with him at the time of his death), also all of the bones in his hands are broken which explains the bad writing.

| |
| − | Have decides to keep our journal.

| |
| | | | |
| | + | France : L'armée française, beaucoup plus nombreuse, de 24 000 à 50 000 hommes, est organisée sur trois lignes. Au-devant on trouve les arbalétriers génois, ainsi que deux lignes de chevaliers |
| | + | They were mounted on entirely unarmoured horses and carried wooden lances, usually ash, tipped with iron and approximately 4 metres (13 ft) long |
| | | | |
| − | * Explanations :
| + | Anglais : L'ensemble comprend de 8 000 à 12 000 hommes, dont environ 3/4 d'archers. Andrew Ayton suggests a figure of around 14,000: 2,500 men-at-arms, 5,000 longbowmen, 3,000 hobelars (light cavalry and mounted archers) and 3,500 spearmen |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin III de Badefol is the head of a small mercenary band.
| + | Parmi ceux-ci, 6 000 mercenaires génois ou castillans conduits par Carlo Grimaldi et Antonio Doria |
| | | | |
| − | He participates in the defense of Caen, and is captured by "the Devil"
| + | prince noir : La nuit tombée, Édouard aurait commandé l'exécution de tous les soldats français blessés incapables de payer rançon et, au matin, un massacre plus grand encore, quand les milices urbaines françaises vinrent en renfort, mais trop tard : l'esprit de la chevalerie n'avait pas été respecté par le prince, qui en eut grande honte devant son père : c'est après cette bataille qu'il aurait pris l'habitude de porter une armure noire. |
| | | | |
| − | The Devil tortures him repeatedly until he accepts to sign a pact with him and become "Knight".
| + | 50 000 hommes pour les troupes menées par Philippe de Valois, 20 000 hommes pour l'armée anglaise. |
| | | | |
| − | He then follows the English troop up to Calais, where he feeds on the starving population during the siege.
| + | Arbaletrier : 4 coups par minute et ils n'ont pas leur pavois la pluie abime les cordes en cheveux. |
| | | | |
| − | He slowly prepares the Rubedo, the third part of the Opus Magnum, but of course he cannot start until Albedo is finished.
| + | D'abord le roi a demandé à ne pas attaquer. |
| | | | |
| − | As soon as Albedo is finished (in the earthquake in Neuberg) he gathers with all the remaining of the cult and makes a massive blood orgy to trigger Rubedo.
| + | Puis attaque des arbalestriers |
| | | | |
| | + | Pas sur qu'il y ait eu des cannons. |
| | | | |
| − | * Unsolved mysteries :
| + | 6 000, avec leur arc long anglais tirant chacun de 6 à 12 flèches à la minute |
| − | -What was Albedo exactly ? Did it trigger such a big earthquake ?
| |
| − | -Who is "the Devil"? And why was he riding with the English ?

| + | 10 avril : |
| | + | Blason pays fr FranceAncien.svg Trente vaisseaux français réussirent, malgré la vigilance de la flotte ennemie, les fortifications élevées par les assiégeants et les obstacles de toute nature à l'entrée du chenal, à pénétrer dans le port. Ce fut le dernier convoi à pouvoir rentrer ravitailler la ville assiégée. Les autres tentatives échoueront lamentablement; les navires tombant aux mains des Anglais. Dès lors, Calais n'eut plus d'espoir que dans le secours venant de la terre. |
| | | | |
| − | Evans : [[Deus Vult !]]
| + | On 3 August 1347 Calais surrendered. The entire French population was expelled. |
| | | | |
| − | The book contains detailed and realistic drawings of each, detailed enough so that players would be able ot recognise them if they saw them.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin speaks (he is super super young, very handesome with long curved blond hairs, incredibly young to be a commander): He asks everyone what it feels to be a mercenary. We followed Raoul II de Brienne from Gascony and finally we will see our first big battle.
| + | Caen stormed on 26 July. Most of the population was massacred, there was an orgy of drunken rape[15][16] and the city was sacked for five days |
| | | | |
| − | '''The players answer what they want :'''
| |
| | | | |

| + | Sabbat : comme le 2 février (correspondant à la chandeleur), le 1er mai ou le 1er novembre. ?? |
| | | | |
| − | Adrien Reichtfield (long hair wearing a chainmail with a spear): Parbleu. It used to be the nobles who protect the poor, now it's the poor who protect the nobles. So we might as well get paid for it.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Evans (short hair, sword and shield, he has a green cape with a Vouivre embroided on it): Taxes are crushing the people, that's true.
| + | Pas les grandes batailles, mais la rapine entre |
| | | | |
| − | You notice that everyone wears different equipment. Unlike the usual army.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin speaks : Apparently we are allowed to use crossbows against the English, even though the church forbid it. What do you think about that ?
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''The players answer what they want :'''
| + | Phase 1 : la bataille de Caen |
| | | | |
| − | Robert Rougecogne (very cunning look) : Technically, no French troops use crossbows, it is the Genovese who do it. Legally speaking, there is nothing wrong, only the Genovese are doing something wrong.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Eloi (looks at the fire, has a black cape a cut ear and holds a crossbow): Whatever works. As long as the guy in front is dead, it works for me.
| + | Raoul II de Brienne amène ces soldats de Gasconne, logique que le chef de la grande compagnie soit là |
| | | | |
| − | Victorine (female fighter, long hair hiding half of her face): Propose some paté to the players. She starts drawing all the characters (which explains how they can recognise them later)
| + | French : 700 à 800 hommes d'armes, de 300 ou 500 archers génois aux ordres de Robert de Warignies5 et de 3 000 miliciens |
| | + | Anglais : 40 000 soldats / 12,000–15,000 |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin speaks : In your opinion, should the army focus on "Bourg-le-Roi et le château" which is better fortified but much more fragmented and very big. Or "Saint-Jean" island, whith less good walls, but surrounded by rivers, also it's smaller ?
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''The players answer what they want :'''
| + | Charge sur le pont Saint-Pierre |
| | | | |
| − | You are outside the fort right now, the drawbridges are up.
| + | Les anglais entrent dans l'ile saint jean et asaillent le chatelet du pont saint pierre |
| | + | Raoul II de Brienne, accompagné du comte de Tancarville, se barricada dans le châtelet du pont Saint-Pierre |
| | | | |
| − | Flavio (black cothes, has a Falconry gauntlet) plays with his bird.
| + | La population lance des roches et de l'eau bouillante sur les assaillants |
| | | | |
| − | Artème (long blond hairs massive smile): Par ma foi. It does not matter, whichever they pick, enemy bandits always run in front of my greatness !
| + | pillage et les maisons brulent |
| | | | |
| − | Eric (bald with blue eyes and a very cunning look, he is very well mannered, probably a noble background) : Don't speak too fast my dear Artème, it is said that some Royal soldiers will be in front of us. It might be a bit more than a small raid like everyone is saying.
| + | Seul le chateau résiste encore |
| | | | |
| − | '''Music : Dreams Berserk OST'''
| + | Trois/cinq jours de mise à sac pillage et incendies |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin speaks : For me, being a mercenary is the only way to achieve my dreams. I was born into a ruined noble house. Very few people have a chance to raise above their station, most are born serfs and will die serfs at the very same plot of land. That's what I want to avoid for all of us. Together we can achieve my dream and become famous and rich and bring glory to our names.
| + | 2500 cadavres, charnier en bordure de ville |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | Seguin speaks : How about a little game of dice ? Eloi happened to have stolen an Arbalest, and I wanted to keep it for myself, but I'm in the mood to play !
| + | Le roi quitta Caen le 31 juillet et laisse 1500 soldats |
| | | | |
| − | '''Every player roll. If one of them roll 6 he wins the Arbalest.'''
