→The Secretum Templi
Non-Templars : Barral 1er des Baux, Taurelli de Strata (the envoy of the emperor)
In total they are 27 28 including the players. 27 is the exact number of bones in a human hand.(but one person won't survive this meeting)
Each Templars enter one by on the Temple. Only the players which are actual Templars (not sergents) can be part of this scene, there others are outside but they can listen.
"My brothers, since we form the circle and the number, I declare open the council of the Temple of Montfort-sur-Argens."
If anyone wants to speak they need to say : "Brothers, I wish to speak."
Roncelin opens his hood and knocks the table three times with his index and middle finger.
Roncelin starts : "Brothers, I wish to speak.", then the Commander allows it :
He explains that the problem is : the nobles are clearly in favor of the Count of Toulouse, so is the people. But the pope is literally the master of the order of the Templars, so they have to follow his orders, what can be done ? Also the emperor is willing to bring much ressources.
Roncelin explains about the scroll that he found. And he is certain that he can create the Philosopher’s stone and he shows proof. Which would definitely give them power over to change everything.
He proposes to create a secret order within the order, the Secretum Templi. Who’s goal will be to create the philosopher’s stone in order to bring down the pope and create a new world order were the templars are free from the Pope’s influenceand own their own land, like the Teutonic knights recently did.
Action : Any meaningful Feat to convince the audience or a Miracle. But they will not be convinced by words alone.
What to do ?
Action : They have to assassinate him discretely and make it look like an accident. Or any other meaningful Feat.(now they are 27)
That’s how the Secretum Templi is created.
The players see distributed a coin, a sword, a chesspiece etc…
He distributed to all of them a little card with a character dacing with a skeletonand a nickname they will use.
Barral Receives a Sword, a card with an emperor dacing with a skeleton and his codename will be “The Emperor”
The book doesn’t say about all the types of objects who were distributed.
At this moment, all players which have a Bone Item realise that they can slide open their bone items and there’s a little piece of bones bone from a hand hidden in it.
They sign their first document together on a big black wax seal by putting all their seals together. They swear the an oath of the ten crowns to create this Secretum Templi and if they die their own bones will serve to hide conseal the seals seal in an object made of their own bones so that even in death they will keep working towards this goal.
Their Oath :
