→Part 2 Danse Macabre
*0min The ball starts with a feast in the cathedral. That draws all the poors. The meat tastes weird. Everyone wears a mask, even the poor. Lots of tables, from rich to poor. Different food on each tables. A very strong feeling of evil.
*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. He has the same face of a baron that died a long time ago. A splendid lady with beautiful necklace made of bones takes his hand to ask him to dance (she is the "Lover" of the danse macabre). Later on, the players cannot see him anymore.
*30min Someone shouts start attacking someone else with his knife. He is a madman : "Is saw them ! Human bodies in the cathedral ! Hundreds of them ! ! I hear their screams ! Don't get any closer !" He is quickly surrounded by guests with skeleton masks, in particular a priest monk face hooded with a rosary (chapelet in english) made of bones take his hand and take him away (it's the Priest (curé), also an artifact) and he is taken out of the ball. Never to be seen again.
*45min They 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. It's a charivari, a punishment because they re-married. The donkey is followed by a man with a walking stick made of bones. It's the Hermit.
*60min Some of the guests start to puke blood. A doctor come to them. His face covered with a mask. He walks them out of the party. They will die the next day.*75min '''Music : ???Behelit Berserk''' Characters chained together and covered in feathers and oil arrive and scream like monsters.
*100min '''Music : Danse Macabre''' The fire starts and the maskerade stops, players are caught in the fire.
Action : scan the crowd for artefact bearers, there are clearly lots of them who avoid the inquisitors as much as possible. They are extremely defensive.
For example they see :
A man completely obessed with a small chest. The usurer.
A Wealthy religious men with a Ring. The cardinal.
A man with Huge arms and a massive skull mace. The sergent.
Action : follow them, they can see that a weird person (disguised as the grim reaper) give them all a letter.
