==Teaser==Send to the players before the game : 10th of November 1347, Marseilles (Provence, Holy Roman Empire) A strange curse has fallen on Marseilles in the last few days. Many shopkeepers have been found dead from a strange disease. Doctors are positive: it is a benign ague, but the population suspects that the wells have been poisoned. Fortunately, the archbishop will soon organise a mass to calm the spirits. ⚜️⚜️⚜️💀💀💀 10 Novembre 1347, Marseille (Provence, Saint Empire Romain Germanique) Une étrange malédiction s'est abattue sur Marseille ces derniers jours. De nombreux commerçants ont été retrouvés morts d'un étrange mal. Les médecins sont formels : il s'agit d'une fièvre de ventre bénigne, mais la population soupçonne que les puits ont été empoisonnés. Heureusement, l'archevêque va bientôt organiser une messe pour calmer les esprits. ⚜️⚜️⚜️💀💀💀 =Intro- Flagellum Dei= Disclaimer : This scenario is so hard, that it's ok if the players act a bit using their 20th century knowledge. For example if theu all take Immune (disease) before the scenario, that's ok. Or if they have the reflex to order lockdowns early on.

He summons the crowd in front of the Cathedral to make a speech.
The young lord of Marseille is there too Hugues IV des Baux de Marseille

"rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? Who is able to wage war against it? " "je vis monter de la mer une bête qui avait dix cornes et sept têtes, et sur ses cornes dix diadèmes, et sur ses têtes des noms de blasphème. Et toute la terre était dans l'admiration derrière la bête. ils adorèrent la bête, en disant: Qui est semblable à la bête, et qui peut combattre contre elle ? "
