| | + | =Week 1 Danse macabre= |
| | + | |
| | + | Normal music (when nothing is happening) : Playlist Normal Latharne la silencieuse |
| | + | Seeing the dead: Edward Cisorhand |
| | + | |
| | + | First week, there is a suicide that looks like a murder. Father Etienne (illuminator ) is found dead, fallen from a tower naked. Players find an unreadable letter in the mouth of the dead. |
| | + | Finding the letter in the dead man's mouth: Danse Macabre |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | '''Atmosphere track (advances with the time)''' |
| | + | 10min Everyone stops to go to pray |
| | + | 25 min All Axes are gone. |
| | + | 40min Dead animal before their door |
| | + | 55min Sinister sound, like a sinister laugh, actually it's a squeaky door |
| | + | 70min 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 |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | '''Scenario track (advances only with the player's actions)''' |
| | + | |
| | + | Purpose: To determine if it is suicide, murder or heresy. In order to call reinforcements. Soldiers came with them and for lack of evidence will return. |
| | + | |
| | + | The letter looks like a part of Father Etienne's illumination, but no book has any missing illumination (because it comes from a book that Father Arnaud was restoring, but there are other copies of this book.) |
| | + | |
| | + | At the moment when they say that to the senior father, they hear someone running away |
| | + | A little later, a book is found burned in the library (it was the book from which came the illumination) |
| | + | |
| | + | The remains of the book are illegible. The title, everything burned. On the other hand, the book has an extremely particular format. Finding another copy, they can find the emluminure. |
| | + | => So it's a murder! A soldier will remain in reinforcement. |
| | + | |
| | + | Study and topologies of known heresies |
| | + | The book lists various known heresies. |
| | + | Ex: The church that burned 25 times |
| | + | |
| | + | Ex: The chewing vampire |
| | + | |
| | + | The page in question speaks of a person, initially considered a saint, who heard the voice of God. Saint Thibaut of Velène |
| | + | He had a cohort of followers. |
| | + | |
| | + | He was finally tried as a heretic, the day the voice of gods gave him the order to have his whole village executed and he began to erect a monument with the bones. |
| | + | |
| | + | Illumination is supposed to represent the monument being erected. |
| | + | |
| | + | In the monastery, there are candles to an old statue of Saint Thibault de Velene. Even if his face was destroyed. => So it's a heresy. Two more guards remain. |

| | | | |
| − | Friedrich II von Habsburg died in the Neuberg Abbey the 11 December 1344 at the age of 17.
| + | Other actions: |
| − | His death is very suspicious because he was the last member of this branch of the House of Habsburg.
| |
| − | The Pope wants the inquisition to investigate, because it is the third member of this family to die within few years in this abbey.
| |
| − | Otto der Fröhliche in 1339 then Leopold II von Habsburg in August 1344 and now Friedrich II in December.
| |
| − | Their rival Rudolf IV made it very clear to the pope, that he doesn't want any noise. The pope can investigate, but no conclusions can be made public. Officially, they died of illness and that's it.
| |
| − | In particular, he disarmed the city, made sure all the soldier of this branch of the habsburg were transferred back to Vienna.
| |
| | | | |
| − | This abbey is also the place where the archives of the Societas Templois are kept.
