* Initial situation :
In the city of Malmaison, lies two artifacts :
The sword is owned by the Chastelain.
??? The mask ???
They will organise a Masquerade (Bal Masqué)
Bal des Ardents : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bal_des_ardents tragic even where a charivari ended in a fire
The point of this masquerade is to gather all the representatives of the different objects. And have them inscribe on the golden Guestbook (live d'or) the position of the corpses they got. In exchange of which, they get their payment. (each gests leave with some gifts, some of which are full or gold or made of gold)
The pages are torn as soon as they are inscribed (so it doesn't incriminate the chastelain directly)
The chastelain will hold a marriage between whom ?
First part, a theater part, where the "monster" is introduced.
Second part.
there is a charivari, with people dressed as beasts. They will burn and die. (part of mask's ritual to take deaths? Killed by their imagination ?)
Then, from this point on, the "beast" will start killing in the city.
Final part.
Then there's the masquerade.
And finally the players manage to decypher one page and understand what this was about.
but no proof links to the chastellain himself.
