* Initial situation :
**Date : 28 October 1347
**Location : Marseilles (Provence, Holy Roman Empire)
Previously, the players have found an invitation for a Masquerade (Bal Masqué) for the Toussaint 31 Oct 1347 !!!! (Fete des morts).
There was a date, but no address on it.
On the invitation, there is a drawing of the Saint Victor Abbaye in the background. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Saint-Victor_de_Marseille
This is a hint that the ball will happen in Marseille.
And indeed, a ball is organised there, near the docks.
The players find where the maskerade was supposed to happen. It was supposed to happen in Marseille. In the cathedral.
They arrive few weeks before to try to investigate.
Every year, a Masquerade (Bal Masqué) is organised in Marseille by the church. It happens in the cathedral : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Saint-Victor_de_Marseille
Metaplot :
Possible villains :https://frThe actual point of this masquerade is to gather all the representatives of the different Bone objects.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasbert_de_Vallehttps://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Tarentehttps://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_X_de_Laval
The ball is organised by "Bishop".
During the ball, he will give them instructions on how to meet them for the final ritual : The burning of the tower.
An alchemist found "the book"
This book explain how to summon demons and gain riches beyond imagination.
It also explains where to find the other artifacts.
"the book" gave the artifacts to lots fo people, including a noble to whom he gave "the sword"
All artifacts bearers should make ritual deathsand ship them to Marseille.
The point being to make the tower of Bones and summon the black plague.
They succeed in 1347
The rest of the campaign is to try to kill "the book" and end the plague.
The book or the sword is nicknamed "L." and he signs all contracts under this name.
Cathedral is a living place, lots of beggars and orphans. People sick and poor. But balls are organised there too.
The players go to the cathedral early. To prepare.
The maskerade is organised every year it's not connected to "L".
"L" uses this venue as a way to secretly give instructions on the actual meeting place and time. The meeting will happen in the cathedral where they will do the final ritual of the bones.
The deacon of the cathedral ("Bishop") is corrupted as well.
Theplot happens just before The danse macabre masqueradeThe cathedral is mostly closed. Because it's in construction.All services are held in one wing which is still openThey build a spire of bones, to be sure the black plague 1347 workers aren't aware that those are bones, they are hidden in Marseille (change the dates word and places of all previous scenarios)brough by "marin genois"Explain about Templars disappearing.straws
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasbert_de_Valle wants to become the archdeacon of a united Marseille.
"L." Promised him he could get that if he agreed to let his workers burn his cathedral with a tower of skeletons inside.
"L." also gave him an artifact, (the artifact related to the archdeacon (archeveque)
"L." wished to do that so he can summon the Plague.* Explanations :
Plotical tension "L" has been preparing a ritual for a very long time.For his ritual to succeed, he needed lots of skeletons of people killed in Marseille, some rebellionsa certain way.
Two artifacts :The Sword and the Book (scholar) the mask ???The Chastellain is a cousin of a noble in Marseille. That's why he makes recruited the Merchant "Coin", the Ministrel "Violin", the deacon "Bishop" etc...They had the task to kill X people in a shipment of very specific way. "Coin" had to buy corpsesor sell goods that would kill, "Violin" had to dance them to death, etc. He is paid hansomely for it...As a compensation, they got gold, support and a "Bone" item.
"the Book" is an alchemist. He has a book made whose cover is made of bonesHe manipulates "the sword" and promise All these corpses where shipped to him reaches beyond imagination if he accomplishes a ritual.This ritual requires lots of sacrifices and teh construction of a chapel.The aim is to summon the black plague.-Masquerade-Missing ofrans (gilles de rai style)-Altar of madness-Burning of the Chateau Babon and one block, tower marseille encased in bricks made of bones inside. Players trappedflamable materials.(Chateau Babon is the name of a castle that disappeared in Marseille !)
The point is to make a spire with all the corpses and burn it.
They If successful, this ritual will organise a Masquerade (Bal Masqué)multiply the virality of the plague and let it spread through europe.

First part, a theater part, where The players arrive at the "monster" cathedral of Marseille. They are Greeted by the ex deacon (évèque) of Marseille : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasbert_de_ValleHe is introducedthe Camerier of the pope : E.g. he manages finances for the pope.He managed to get funds to renovate the cathedraL. Four people chained together and covered THe current Deacon (évèque) stays in burning materialsAvignon while the cathedral is being renovated.

The Deacon has a crosier (crosse épiscopale) with a relic inside. A little chesspiece representing a skeleton Bishop.
He greets the players and they talk about the Masquerade that will happen.
As they meet him, he is playing chess against a canon.
The players can make one move.
The game pieces have their specific moves, which are also used for Byzantine (round) chess:
The King moves one square in any direction.
The Counsellor/Queen moves only one square diagonally.
The Elephant/Bishop moves exactly 2 spaces diagonally. It can jump over other game pieces. This means that its movement is restricted to only 8 places on the board.
The Knight moves like the modern chess knight: two spaces forward/backward or sideways plus one space at a right angle (an L-shape). The knight jumps over other pieces.
The Rook moves like the modern one: unlimited movement forward, backward or sideways until it has reached another piece. It cannot jump.
The Pawn moves one square forward when not capturing. Capturing occurs one step diagonally. Unlike modern chess, the pawn does not have the two-square step as the initial move. When pawns reach the other end of the board they are promoted to a counsellor.

Previously, the players have found an invitation for a Masquerade (Bal Masqué).
There was a date, but no address on it.
On the invitation, there is a drawing of the Saint Victor Abbaye in the background. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Saint-Victor_de_Marseille
This is a hint that the ball will happen in Marseille.
And indeed, a ball is organised there, near the docks.
* Explanations :He is very cooperative (he's a Trickster).
The Cathedral is being expanded, they want to build some new towers https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Saint-Victor_de_Marseille#Les_remaniements_d%E2%80%99Urbain_V
* Unsolved mysteries :Why triggering He will let them visit if they want except the Black Plague ?Who organises and controls all of this ? ("book" ? someone else ?)tower because it's unstable yet.
Worse case scenario if they really want to visit the tower, they see nothing. Bones are hidden inside bricks made of material that can burn but looks like stone.
* Historical themes :He want to throw them on the wrong trail. So he tells them about the numerous Oprhans disappearing. In the mean time he will order thugs to kill the players.
=Part 1 Danse Macabre=* '''Normal : XXX'''The goal He says there is to uncover how this masquerade is connected to the deatha heretic cult in town who takes orphans.
The players attend the Masquerade at the Chateau Borbon and understand what point is happening.During the Masquerade, lots of artifact bearers are present. They come to pay their respects and receive their reward. Everyone receives presents, some of which are full of gold or made of gold.The inquisitors are allowed in, because they saw the invitation.They go to lure players into a fake masquera de at first, then find the actual masquerade and join it.Someone in the masqeurade have the master artifact (is it "book" ? "Emperor crown" ? or "pope key" ? unsure) anyhow he can control artifact bearers and hence influence the playerstrap.
==Ambiance track=====Fake Masquerade===*0min *10min *30min Players They visit the hospice with artifacts react crazythe deacon.*45min They see Leppers, old people, beggars, orphans, diseased, wounded soldiers, madman, crippled, prostitutes.
===Insane Masquerade===*0min *10min *30min Players with artifacts react crazy*45min *60min Players with artifacts react crazy*75min *100min Players with artifacts react crazy(if the ask the orphans to stop begging, they need to pay, but it doesn't solve anything, just stop the killings)
==Scenario Track==Action : Ask the orphans where they go beg. See that there is just one street with zero orphan beggars (because that's where they disappear)
The players attend Action : Ask the Masquerade. The lord greets them then wears a mask.Something is off. Everyone have similar masks. They stink and they don't speak like nobles.They eat very little and dance like puppets. They are actorsprositute where she met with the person that led her to the statanic ritual.
If they talk The prostitute has a lot to say. Her sould is broken since her son got caught and since she partook in the satanic ritual.She remembers that she was paid by a very wealthy vallet wearing provins blue in a street in Marseille.Little did he know the lordhorrors she would have to commit to survive.Then he put a blingfold on her and she walked on pavement, then grass, then some moving stone noise, then crawling underground, then a massive door unlocked and she arrvied in hell.She cries as she describes hell : The heat, the sulfure. She was like inside a stomach.There were statues decapitates with weird clay horrors instead of their heads.There was an assembly of people in black robes. One of them was the master of the ceremony, he was the most cruel. Under his cape there was something like wings. His voice was sweet and seductive, sweet like a knife.Most prostitutes, orfans and beggars who where brought there died if they refused to submit. She wishes that she had to courage to die, because now her soul is gone because of the horrors she commited.They made her to horrible things and as a bit offprostitute, she have done disgusting things in the past but nothing of this magnitude. There was rape, but not only, there was murder of childrens, but not only, there was canibalism but that wasn't event he worse of it. She refuses to say what was the worse of it because it broke her sould. (some kind of combination of the three in the wrong order. The point is not to describe gruesome things to the players but to suggest them.)She cries and want to redeem.
Action : If they tear There is a vallet looking through his window all the fake lord's mask, they see it's not the same persontime. For no reason.
Action : They search his home, he is not here. He then confess that left throught the lord went window to another towergo to a nearby home (the two homes are very close.)

Almost everyone have a wound at the shoulder.| 15min = A strange noble come to them and ask for a Dance. He insist. If a player dance with him or refuse, he take off his mask and salute.

Later on, the players cannot see him anymore.| 30min = Their drink have been exchanged with blood. They spit. In their food. They find a card with a skeleton.

But it's still too little to be a proof, sword is far too carefulThey are extremely defensive.For example they see :
A man completely obessed with a small chest hidden by a piece of cloth. The usurer.
=Part 2 Missing orphans=Too many Orphans are missingThey see a couple sitting on a donkey. The man on the back, the lady in front. Followed by a lot of people making a lot of noise.
