Since last time, players are looking for Eugène Clavicule, the Skeleton Merchant.
They are contacted by a local contact (Dr. Pierre Therici) who says that some corpses seems to disappear Eugène Clavicule will be burried soon in Provins.
They arrive at the Saint-Ayoul trade fair in Provins. The city is overcrowded. Countless tents around the city walls because all inns are full.
==Ambiance track==
*10min-A student is caught by the local guard. In fact he his family was banned from the fair three year ago and cannot stay in Provins during the fair. He have also been banned from his home city. (the local tribunals could put very strong economical sentences like this)
*30min-Some students pass in all the rooms to spread smoke. It's called fulmigation. The point is to try to disinfect. Teachers are found studying an open corpse. This is illegal and considered heresy. Players can choose to prosecute them or not.
*45min-There is a currency that only serves during the fair. The "denier provinois". The currency is minted by the Hospitaller Knights of the area. It's a privilege given to the city, as to avoid currency problems during the fair. Some people come propose them to buy some.
If they discover the origin, they have reinforcements.
Their contact, Dr. Pierre Therici found a coffin filled with earth. They go to obituary department and open Eugène Clavicule's coffin. It's full of earth. No corpse inside. That's very suspicious.When they open the coffin ''Music : Alone in the Dark Mysteries''This coffind belongs to an anonymous, he He was found dead on public roads and nothing could identify him. Very likely just vagabond.
Action -> See the doctor who did the necropsy.
He had no relatives so normally had to be buried in a mass grave.
But a generous donor paid for the funeral in an individual coffin. And he decided that he is named Eugene Clavivule.
Dr. Theobald Shuplice is the name of the donor.
Later on, this document can be used to withdraw denier provinois.
*30min-They see Hopsitaller training by fighting each others. Their fight is very brutal. At the end of the fight a prayer the bells ring. With they bleeding faces, they put their robes on and go to pray.
This scene illustrates how Hospitallers are both harmless monks , doctors and deadly warriors.
*45min-Hopsitaller/Templar? Ceremony. They hear a hammer that strikes three times.
Launch the music '''Watchmen(OST 2009) - Pruit Igoe and Prophecies'''
Professors. Merchants. But also Nobles. Towards the end of the procession there are four people wearing masks and surrounded by soldiers. Those people are too powerful to be recognised.
This scene is used to illustrate the power of the hopsitallers/and their possible links to the templars, all power people are part of their organisation.
*60min- '''Music : Lacrimosa'''
Players are locked in a room. Behind there is a man with a mask. It's the Jean de la Maison de Dieu, but they can't recognise him.
