Mais nombreux seront les victimes de son coeur égoïsteHow many will be the victims of her selfish heart ? ⚜️⚜️⚜️💀💀💀
=Intro - The Skeleton Violinist=
The crops are rotting, the harvest isn't good.
A '''"Dama de blanco"''' appears every weeks between friday and saturday near the necropolis(below the ruins of teh islamic castle).A '''skeletal violinist''' is spotted sometimes in the cemeteryruins of the castle.
(explain that in this period violins don't existe yet, so it's actually a ministrel and his instrument is a Kemenche, an islamic violin)
The ladies are ugly.
| 45min = Some peasants are eating a rotten carcass of a boar. It is not legal for peasants to hunt, in this time only lords have the right to hunt. But they swear it was a dead carcass they found and they didn’t hunt it. 
Another peasant comes towards them with a knife he looks at very angry « No ! No Dancing ! No Dancing ! No Dancing ! » '''Music : Chant_Entrapment-8''' He is caught very quickly.

If the players search him, he have a tissue handkerchief with bread crumbs on it.
| 60min = There's a child lost in the woods. His parents tried to get rid of him. But he came back. They see he has a toy of "Pedro El Cruel" ridiculised.
| 75min = A Priest gathered lots of people in a large hut. They all start laughing incontrolably and say "No Dancing ! No Dancing ! No Dancing !" '''Music : Chant_Entrapment-8'''
They all come from one home. If the players search their home, there are several tissue handkerchiefs with white bread in it.
They see a white women dancing. Like a ghost.
 
She dances next to the Necropolis and the ruins of a muslim castle.
While she dances '''Prince of Darkness - Fire Emblem'''
If the players dig enough, they learn that '''Hernando Locura''' was a ministrel in love with Beatriz.
But he was drowned in the woods near the cemetry necropolis (close to the ruins of the muslim castle) then burried in the woods. (Beatriz's father killed him, because the local Bourgmestre was also in love with Beatriz and he wanted her to marry the Bourgmestre) And they broke his Psaltery (Psaltérion en français)
Actually Beatriz's father '''Juan Madraso''' did this. And then burried him right here and then, with his instrument.
Alternatively (if they search his home too early), there’s nothing of interest in his home, but if they open his grave, the peasants start a search for a place where he might live and they find his hideout and a chest full of devil’s bread.
=Part 2 Peasant revolt(optional)=
*'''Normal (before the start of step 1 of the battle) : Commanderie Templière '''
He is not at his home, because that's where they found the devil bread.

He says he's doing that to appease '''Hernando''' because he knew the language of flowers very well and those flowers means "calm down" "reconciliation" evergreen candytuft https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbeille_d%27argent

Bourgmestre's housefeast room apparently.

=Part 4 The appointment=
(English Version)
 You who Our form in the sun follows us, like the stab of a knifewalks,Entered my plaintive heart; You whostops, strong as a herdOf demons, came, ardent Imitates our gestures and adornedour steps, To make your bed Looks without seeing, listens and your domainOf my humiliated mind - Infamous bitch to whom I'm boundLike the convict to his chaindoes not hear, And must still crawl when we lift our heads.Like the stubborn gambler to the game,Like the drunkard to his wine, Man is here belowLike the maggots to the corpse But a bit of living night,a restless form- Accurst Who sees without penetrating, accurst be you! I begged the swift poniardTo gain for me my libertywithout inventing repeats, I asked perfidious poisonTo give aid And whispers to my cowardice. Alas! both poison and the knifeContemptuously said to meFate: "You do not deserve to be freedFrom your accursed slavery, Fool! - if from her dominationOur efforts could deliver you, Your kisses would resuscitateThe cadaver of your vampire!I follow thee where thou goest. "
(French Version)
Toi qui Notre forme au soleil nous suit, comme un coup de couteaumarche, s'arrête,Dans mon coeur plaintif es entrée ; Toi qui Imite gauchement nos gestes et nos pas, forte comme un troupeauDe démons Regarde sans rien voir, vins, folle écoute et paréen'entend pas, Et doit ramper toujours quand nous levons la tête.De mon esprit humiliéFaire ton lit et ton domaine ; L'homme n'est ici- Infâme à qui je suis liéComme le forçat à la chaîne, Comme au jeu le joueur têtu,basComme à la bouteille l Qu'ivrogneun peu de nuit vivante,une forme inquiète Comme aux vermines la charogne Qui voit sans pénétrer,- Maudite, maudite sois-tu ! J'ai prié le glaive rapideDe conquérir ma libertésans inventer répète,  Et j'ai dit murmure au poison perfideDe secourir ma lâcheté. Hélas ! le poison et le glaiveM'ont pris en dédain et m'ont dit Destin : " Tu n'es pas digne qu'on t'enlèveA ton esclavage maudit, Imbécile ! - de son empireSi nos efforts « Je te délivraient, Tes baisers ressusciteraientLe cadavre de ton vampire ! "suis où tu vas. »
His shadow doesn't move though. They should strike where his shadow is.
'''If they got stuck for too long, their shadows start attacking them. Don't let them stuck on this ennigma'''
If they defeated him :
He says :
"Vous qui vivez: il est certain," "Quoique cela tarde, que vous danserez." "Réfléchissez à ce que vous ferez alors."  "Ye that live: it is certain," "Though it tarry, you will dance." "Consider what you will do then."
'''Music : (fast start) Light of the Seven (EP 10 Trial scene)'''

And he He has a skeletal well decorated psalteryand a cloack clasp in the shape of a harp : the [[Bone Harp]]. It is very clear that it is extremely precious.
