Intro
- Initial situation :
Theplot happens just before the black plague 1347 in Marseille ? near marseille ?
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 a shipment of corpses.
"the Book" is an alchemist. He has a book made whose cover is made o bones He manipulates "the sword" and promise 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) - -Burning of the church and one block, evil building inside. Players trapped.
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 second marriage between whom ?
First part, a theater part, where the "monster" is introduced. Four people chained together and covered in burning materials
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. La malebête ? https://www.reddit.com/r/france/comments/579g29/quels_sont_les_monstres_fran%C3%A7ais/ Bayard_? Bugul-noz? Loup garou ? <-----would be more accurate Lou Drapé , -> Steal childrens
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.

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.
