Most Holy Father, all your life you have served our Lord.
Thus, it is without mistrust that you followed death when it came for you.
Did you not see the black claws hidden under her dress?
Who will now be able to deliver you from this satanic trap?

10 Janvier 1348, Avignon (États Pontificaux)
Très Saint Père, toute votre vie vous avez servi notre seigneur.
Ainsi, c’est sans méfiance que vous avez suivi la mort quand elle est venu vous chercher.
N'avez vous pas vu les griffes noires dissimulées sous sa robe ?
Qui pourra à présent vous délivrer de ce piège satanique ?

* Explanations :
Tancrède le Bon, The Valet of Cardinal Élie de Nabinal is "the cardinal"
His ring allows him to use Necromancy on the grave of Jean XXII.
He uses this power for two things : First he need to steal the right books and send them to the alchemist "the pope" who is right now in Austrial.
And he uses this power to try to get rid of the players.

They hear some couhing in the distance. Francesco Petrarca is nearby, he says : "behold, I am She, whom they, fierce, and blind, and cruel name, Who meet untimely deaths;"  "Je suis l’importune et la cruelle que vous appelez sourde et aveugle, ô vous pour qui il fait nuit avant le soir."  | 15min = | 30min = | 45min = They pass through a corridor and notice that all the people who pass by them avoid them and keep a very safe distance.| 60min = The word spread that they came from Marseille, so people avoid them.| 75min = | 90min 30min = }}There's a Cardinal packing all his things, he is leaving Avignon.

But right now they can’t prove itFour assassins instead of Two.}}
Either they use a skill right now, or they have to prove their innocence.==Accused of Murder==
After he the audience, the cardinal looks terrified. The players have to find a way to prove their innocence.
==Reasoning with the cardinal==
He explains that he had no choice but doesn’t say anything more, their goal is to find leverage on him and/or prove their innocence.
‘’’Prove '''Prove their innocence : either they use a skill, or they find out that he was not in Marseilles, but in Aix en Provence preparing the arrival or the Queen Jeanne. The proof, they have a signed document by the barons of Provence who say they will greet her.’’'''
They can try to use this as leverage against him, in which case he will simply withdraw his accusation. But it’s not a strong enough leverage to have him talk.
They have to find a way, any way to obtain this information. For example they can ask his valetTancrède le Bon , even though it will be tricky because he doesn't want to talk to themand he will lie, saying that indeed he was in Marseille, but his lies are not convincing, so they understand that he indeed wasn't in Marseille. '''Action : If the timer is very short and the players beg the cardinal, he tells them to contact his scribe (so they get the proof to be innocent)''' Tancrède le Bon is "the cardinal" of course he won't carry the ring on his hand most of the time, but he isn't a Trickster, so players will see that he lies and hides stuff, but they do'nt have the power to kill or imprison him (because he is protected by his cardinal) Or they can ask his scribe who will say that indeed he wasn't in Marseille.
Once they confront him with this truth, he will withdraw his accusation.
Then his valet Tancrède le Bon will come to them and explain that he is haunted by a very powerful ghost. He says he saw this card on his table one morning.
==The dead pope==
A card with a skeleton pope on it and one sentence : Remember Narbonne ? Carcassonne ?. [http://prima.wiki/images/8/8b/Remember_Carcassonne.png Remember Carcassonne] (Jean XXII was part of a big inquisition trial against Fraticelli in Narbonne (carcasonne too) Carcasonne and he knew things about Élie de Nabinal that he use as blackmail. Elie de Nabinal was promoted by John XII because of his fight against Fraticelli)
The valet Tancrède le Bon doesn't know what this meansand try to avoid the discussion.
Any player with '''Knowledge (heresy) ''' will know what it means.
Otherwise they have to search the past of Elie de Nabinal where they see that Jean XXII gave him the title of "Master" in 1331 because of his fight against Fraticelli in NarbonneCarcasonne.
'''Action : If they ask to check the records from that trial. ''' They are told that the records disappeared.! Some documents disappeared ! This is unacceptable !
==Assasination attempt==
The same night an assasin come through a secret passage, even the pope wasn't aware of this secret passage.
Fight in the night.
Élie de Nabinal is assassinated on '''Music : XenogearsZenoParadoxLightfromtheNetherworldsEBison then Z_Baston-Le diable est dans la boite''' The same night two assasins unlock and open their door. They use a skeleton key that belonged to John XXII. Unless the players have [[Instinct]] or stay awake or anything that nightcould help them wakeup, they have to spend one [[Faith]] to be awaken. He dies of Because the plagueassasins are quite stealthy. ( The assasins are wearing worn crusaders armours.Once of the players can’t prove (of your choice) recognise one of them because he was assassinatedknew him for a previous crusade : Aimeric de Cros. It is a knight who fought alongside John XXII but who is now long dead. (if they manage to kill him, on further examination of the body it's not super clear if that's him or not)
One has a flail and shield, the other has a crusader longsword and a shield. All those equipments have been stolen from dead nobles burried in Avignon
It seems that they do'nt feel any pain when struck by players.
 
Two players need to have '''Combat (duel)''' to defeat both of them.
If one or two of them aren't defeated, they stab one or two random players with their poisoned weapons.
'''Immune (poison)''' or death for the player in question.
 
Élie de Nabinal is assassinated on that night 12th of January. He dies of the plague. (The players can’t prove he was assassinated)
 
His vallet Tancrède le Bon disappeared.

The bells ring three times three strokes to announce his death.'''Music : Epique désespéré 10 - Requiem, K.626, Lacrimosa (Mournful Day)'''There's a grand procession. The grand room is lit with candles and incense. They can either attend or search the palace (until the music is finished).During this time the archives are closed, but most other rooms are open.If they search the room of the Cardinal (which is also the room of his valet) they find :Below the bed there's a Book "Ars Magna by Ramon LLul" inside it there is a letter from Pope XXII to Gasbert de Valle congratulating him for the construction of the palace of the Popes . It is disturbing because Ramon LLul is very controvertial, in between alchemy and witchcraft. In the chimney there are lots of letters who were burned. Only few words are sill readable : "Returned". "Soul". "Sin" And "Your Illustrious Lordship's most faithful servant, Elie Cardinal de Nabinal". "Le plus fidèle serviteur de Votre Illustre Seigneurie, Elie Cardinal de Nabinal"(this is an address that you give to a pope as a cardinal, nobody else) (If didn't solve the plague issue : Total 1 Bishop coughin, 0 Dead)

And most importantly L’élixir des philosophes and L'art transmutatoire. Nobody knew those books were here ! Except the pope himself and the librarian. '''Knowledge (heresy)''' : The rumours says that it was John XXII who wrote "L’élixir des philosophes" and "L'art transmutatoire". The librarian explains that for some reason, the pope seemed passionate about alchemy, and at some point in his life he made a bull to ban alchemy ! Very strange.

* 2 Witchcraft and Jewish Magic books disappeared. If they ask the titles : Sepher ha-Razim, The Sword of Moses.

He was called the heretic pope several times. | 75min = .* They see some servants running around. Most guards left.* If didn't solve the plague issue : Total 88 Bishop coughin, 58 Dead. (All the remaining bishops run away Avignon is mostly empty.)* Books about Gold, the Fratichelli and the antichrist. If they ask the titles : All documents about the Fratichelli trials disappeared. '''Knowledge (heresy)''' : The pope was in favour of the church being rich which opposed him to the Franciscan Fratichelli, and he was called overtly as being the antichrist.

All players roll a die 6, if 1 or 2 they run away (unless Courage).

Some documents were stolen in the secret archives ! This is unacceptable !
Non only Some documents were stolen in the secret archives ! This is unacceptable ! A Cardinal died in strange circumstances, this is very strange too ! Too many death from the plague, they have to do something ! The players have to protect the archives the best they can and prevent the plague from spreading. ==Basic Protection from the Plague== 1 Bishops are bedridden, they caught the plague. Nobody else, no cardinals, no guard, just bishops and some servants. '''Action : Mass is forbidden an people have to isolate''' Anything else that makes sense ==Nothing stops the plague== Bishops continue catching the plague (of course, that's not how the plague spreads in real life... so isolating people is useless) They notice that their rooms are super cold and there's ice on the floor. They didn't notice it before, because : Before isolating them in their room, they would aerate their rooms during the day, now they can't. (In particular it's "the cardinal's" goal to weaken the papacy as much as he possibly can, so he sneaks in he rooms of this inquisitorial trialthe people he wants to kill and talks to them Disguised at John XXII, scare them, but also all make sure they are terrified. He choses on purpose only Bishops who new him in life so they will recognise his bull condemning alchemy.voice and face)
The players have must understand that "the cardinal" enters through the window. '''Action : Barricading the windows is the solution or guarding the outside is ok too.''' '''Action : If they sneak in a room and prentend to protect be cardinals, at some point in the night, they see the archives shadow of a pope and the best they canwindow opens. Then there's a torrent of flies.''' ==Securing the Archives==
Each X minutes some books disappear.
There's a librarian. To get a book, you need some kind of written authorisation and a password.
THis This password changes every week and depends on the sections (same system since Jean XXII). Very few people know the system.
The librarian gives a key that depends on the section.
Most books are chained, so when a chain is broken they know a book have been stolen. Then the librarian knows the names sometimes, sometimes he doesn't.
'''Action : Lock the most sensitive books / books about alchemy somewhere else. '''Not possible, too many of them.
'''Action : Ask the Librarian to make a list of all the people he let in in the past month. '''He say he will need some time.
Then he dies of the plague before he is finished.
'''Action : Ask to simply shut down the archives : '''The pope refuses, it's impossible.
'''Action : Change the password system.'''->He will get a very "low security" password and still access the best books by picking/breaking locks.
'''Action : Let one of the players guard the entrance and ask for the librarian to write the names of people goign to the archives.'''-> Books missing. One of the locks have been broken.
No suspicious names in the list of people.
(the name of the valet of the cardinal is in the list but it's normal because the cardinal asked him to go archive some documents, also he goes throuogh the secret passage, so his name doesn't appear too many times)
'''Action : Search everyone leaving the archive'''-> It's actually useless because he hides the books in an alcove and will unload all of them in one night through the window.
'''Action that works :Action : Ask one guard to follow each person in the archives and check the name match guard x personAction : People need to ask for a document and only the librarian go fetch it then record it.->Books still disappear, it's proof that there's another access, secret passage.'
'''Action : Ask one guard to follow each person in the archives and check the name match guard x person'''
'''Action : People need to ask for a document and only the librarian go fetch it then record it.'''
Books still disappear, it's proof that there's another access, secret passage.
==Finding the secret passage==
How to find the secret passage ?
There's dust on the ground, but not nearly enough.
 '''Action : If they try to study the plans of the floor, ''' there's no chance to find it. Because no precise plan exist. '''Action : Tracker ''' can work. '''Action : Anything that makes sense is ok''' '''Action : Knock on every walls until one of them sound empty. ''' is ok. '''Action : Pour water as much as they can and see where it exfiltartes ''' is ok too.
They found a secret passage that leads to the archives that's where he was held !

The statue has a big purse (players need to ask)Aciotn '''Action : Press on the purse''' It unlocks the secret door. ==Templars== The book shelfs get closer and closer and there's an army of hands with chainmail (because most are guards who lost their minds) but looking from this point they look like skeleton templars (he Disguised some of them as skeleton templars) '''Action : Some smart way to pass through for each players or they get Wounded''' ==Alchemy== There's a huge Alchemy Lab inside the hidden part of the archives with all the books he confiscated. Proof that the pope was also an alchemist. Lots of books and scrolls that he wrote.
"DDDDDD something about templars"There are tons of tiny wires attached to lots of vials, if they touch the wires, some acid or burning or poisonous vials fall on them.
The book shelfs get closer and closer and there's an army of hands with chainmail (he Disguised people as templars)Action ; Some smart way to pass through "Eye for Detail" allow safe passage, same for each players "Clarivoyance" or "Reflexes" but they get stabbedcan at most help one person pass through.
Alternatively, they can throw a chair through the wires, but then the fumes are very numerous, so everyone is poisoned (Immune or "EEEEEE soemthing about satan/pageans about someone who plotted against him ? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_XXII#Le_complot Wounded")

"FFFFFFF Something about alchemy ? Something about Fratricelli ?"As they progress through the secret section, they see Pope John XXII in the distance who finished signing a scroll.
XXXXXXXXXXXA huge demon appears before them, with fiery wings and a fiery sword and the burning skull of deer.
He has huge claws.
"GGGGGGGGG something about the fact that he found what he was looking for and he is dead anyway so he doesnAnyone without 't fear death''Courage''' has to roll a die 6 each turn. Unless 5 or 6 they run away."(once they run away, they can re-roll each turn to come back)
It is actually someone disguised as a demon, his sword is made of hundreds of chicken bones and his armor made of raw leather.
Several flying pigeons flew away with pages of a book.They can '''Action : unless Combat (monster) need some smart way to take him down one of them, the last one that he release but that's it, other are gone already.''
Those pages of '''Action : If they manage to destroy the contract, a book are taken from another book.The book gives quotes from an alchemy book.Combat (duel) is enough to defeat him'''
He doesn't resist, they can kill him, he drunk poison anyway.==Death==
IL ETAIT AMIS DE GASBERT DE VALLE !!!!!! "You who live: it is certain, Sooner or later, you will dance. Think on what you will do then. I fought death my whole life, but she won the last battle. She always win. My torment is over, Free me, I beg you"
FRATICELLI / ARGENT De "Vous qui vivez: il est certain, Quoique cela tarde, que vous danserez. Réfléchissez à ce que vous ferez alors. J'ai combattu la sortemort toute ma vie, spirituels et fraticelles les proclament saints et martyrsmais elle a gagné la dernière bataille. Et dans leurs prêches Elle gagne toujours. Ma peine se termine, ils traitent ouvertement le pape d'Antéchrist et de monstre dévorant Je vous prie, libérez moi."
JUIFSSeveral flying pigeons flew away with pages of a book.They can take down one of them, the last one that he release, but that's it, other are gone already they see five cages of pigeons already used.
SorcièresThe pages he sent are taken from an alchemy book, sorcellerie et hérésiethis book references and transcribes pages of the "Book of the Acts of Solomon"This book is a missing biblical text ! (e.g. mentioned in the bible but missing)So he sent the last remaining copies of some parts of this book using those carrier pigeons.

They can ask him any questions that they want.

He met a templar alchemist and worked with him. That's why he helped so many templars.
A la fin du scénario, des pigeons voyageurs ont été envoyes dans un monastère au friull ou près du Frioul pour que la coïncidence ne soit pas trop forteAnd he discovered too late "who he was" that's why death took him.
