Historical characters (in case they ask questions about them) :
Friedrich II https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friedrich_II._von_Habsburg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Otto der Frohlische https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto,_Duke_of_Austria
Leopold II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II,_Duke_of_Austria
Father Oldaric with a bone triptych. His contract is to kill three Dukes and ship their hearts plus take 100 monks hearts. He poisons the Dukes then remove their hearts after their death. For the monks he uses poisoned candles to make them crazy so it’s easier to kill them.
Also his ancestors are actually pagans from Poland, which is why he wants this revenge against this family.
=Day 1=
{{Ambiance Track
| 5min = They pass by a corridor and they notice a statue of Otto der Fröhliche in armor, and it’s written below : Otto slaying the heretics. Lots of candles and gifts in front of him. One Monk is crying, this family was the abbey’s only protectors, what will happen now ?
| 15min = Everyone stops to go to pray. If they go : they notice lots of people missing at mass. A company of pilgrims arrive at the abbey, to pay homage to Friedrich II. Some of them are former memebrs fo the Societa Templois
| 30min = One of the pilgrims is missing. He took all his belongings and left. The only thing behind : a broken Rosary.
| 45min = Dead animal before their door
| 60min = Sinister sound, like a sinister laugh, actually it's a squeaky door. In the courtyard there a hooded monk looking at them for a long long time,then he leaves.
| 75min = There is one book on the floor, it is completely unintelligible. Pages and pages of gibberish.
| 90min = Someone locks players in a room by knocking down a piece of furniture, broken piece of furniture. When they go out, the bridges are sabotaged(from the inside, so someone still here sabotaged it !

Other books are a little illegible too
- Abbot Albrecht the superior father who worked the garden is the one who found the body.(yes even in winter there are things to do in a garden)
-Brother Conrad (scribe mad) Friedrich II repeatedly wanted to confess something important but didn't have time. Friedrich II had a book under his arm all the time. It's the books !
-For sure they will ask to visit the archives of the Societas Templois. They don’t see anything useful. But they see books chained, with horrible shapes and covers, if they start to read them, their faith is challenged. '''Music Z_Flippant - Dark World'''
Any player who reads a book from down there has to roll a 5 or a 6 otherwise he cannot drop the book and has to keep it in his hands during the whole scenario.
Propose him secretly to change his Faith to [[⛧ Dark Faith]] if he wants.
Father Oldaric reads the book aloud. It disturbs the players even more.
At every step, they have to roll high 5 or 6 or go crazy. Unless they have the Feat Courage.Each turn he will read a new quote.
*He explains to the players that the god of the old and the new testament are not the same and give a clear proof.
Once they turn off all the lights, it scares father Oldaric and he fall on his own book.
The book has teeth and it is sitting between two small tables, so by falling on the book, the tables are separated which closes the book on his body violently, since this book has metal teeth on it, it seems as though he is eaten by the book.
Turn off the light in real life when this happens.
Then play the music '''Music:Behelit'''
=Epilogue=
After the events, the pope and Rudolf ask the players and everyone involved to not talk about those events. And that's why no history books talk about it.
In the cage, Father Oldaric had kept some letters he received.
Nothing unusual in his letters, except that the writing becomes more and more confused.
They find one book of ancestry, apparently his ancestors were pegans in Poland which the Societa Templois massacred.
It's probably a book that Friedrich found and that's why he had to kill him quickly.
They find one letter though that is very unsual
Send those to the players as a post game bonus :
The bibles quote from Oldaric are indeed real and this conflict between the new and old testament are what created the Cathar heresy, which say that the god in the old testament is actually the devil (the demiurge) which means that earth was created by the devil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism
As a bonus, here are some actual pictures of the Neuberg Abbey : [http://prima.wiki/images/1/18/Neuberg1.jpg] [http://prima.wiki/images/4/40/Neuberg2.jpg] [http://prima.wiki/images/c/c7/Neuberg3.jpg]
