The inquisition finally managed to decypher most of the archives of the ten crowns sect in Marseille that was found in the Des Beaux Castle.
Amongst other, they found a diary written by Roncelin de Fos.
For this whole episode, the players will play Templars under the orders of Roncelin de Fos in 1233 to 1242. They will obey and follow him for the whole scenario.
They can keep 4 of their feats plus Faith. Warn the players that there will be some fighting, not a lot but some.
Those who have Bone Artifacts are Knight Templars in this scenario and can keep 6 Feats plus Faith, the others are Templar Sergents (no noble) and can keep 4 of their feats plus Faith.
Those who have the Kight Templar Feat also have 6 feats and play one of their ancestors.
The book starts as such :
"I have resolved to pen a thorough account of the events that have transpired, so that future brethren of the Order may learn from my experiences. This record shall serve not only to preserve the extraordinary miracles I have witnessed but also to document the curse that has shadowed me ever since. It all began on this fateful day, the 13th of October 1233, in the desert near the city of Tortose in the County of Tripoli"

The Dead Caravan
Led by Roncelin de Fos, the players have been chasing a group of bandits that attacked several caravans in the region.
With the blessings of the Amir of Homs, they have been chasing them for days deep inside the desert in Muslim territory.
Despite their differences, Crusaders and Muslims could agree on chasing bandits.
After days of chasing, in the distance they see some dead camels and bedoin corpses.
How to find the bandits they are chasing ? There is some strong wind blowing so traces disappeared completely.
Action : Search the caravan / check if anyone is alive.
One of the bedoins is still alive.
He explained that they We were attacked, by shaitans, evil jinns. One of them had a crown, like an evil king. Probably Iblis himself.
They are headed for the Al-Qaryatayn Oasis.
One of the Templar Sergents drink from one of the waterskins found on the caravan, and it contains blood instead of water. All of their waterskins were contaminated with blood. To make sure they can't drink it in case they are still alive.
Some merchants of Al-Qaryatayn paid the Templars for protection and safe passage. So they have to help.
The Pillagers
As they arrive near the village, night is falling and they see flames in village.
They hear a fight between the villagers and the pillagers, they seem to be Christians and scream in French.
Near the Oasis as the fight goes on, they see lots of small eyes. For some reasons there are lots of frogs here, which is strange. They seem to stare at them.
