Other books are a little illegible too
- Abbot Albrecht the superior father who worked the garden is the one who found the body. (yes even in winter there are things to do in a garden) He loves gardening (insist on that a bit)
-Brother Conrad (scribe mad) Friedrich II repeatedly wanted to confess something important but didn't have time. Friedrich II had a book under his arm all the time. It's the books !
-For sure they will ask to visit the archives of the Societas Templois. They don’t see anything useful To describe the archives : '''Music Z_Flippant - Dark World''' The entrance is a heavy iron gate with a heavy iron lock. But they see books chained, with horrible shapes and covers, Only the father superiors have the key (Lockpicking works as well) but if they start the players insist the Abbot will agree to read let themvisit.On the stairs down, their faith is challenged. they see lots of very weird flags '''Music Z_Flippant - Dark WorldKnowledge (heresy)'''those are the flags of some pagan families that were defeated by the Societa Templois.At the bottom they reach the Archives of the societa Templois.On the left are some book shelfves, the books have very weird covers, either really too small or really too big, one of them is pitch black, one of them made of weird raw leather.All those books are chained to the shelves, as if to prevent them from escaping.
Any player who reads a book from down there has to roll a 5 or a 6 otherwise he cannot drop the book and has to keep it in his hands during the whole scenario.
Propose him secretly to change his Faith to [[⛧ Dark Faith]] if he wants.
Those books are Heretical texts seized during the conquest of the Societa Templois.
On the right are some treasures seized during the crusades, weird armors, weird weapons, and the actual archives of the Societa Templois.
In the middle of the archive is a huge cage with a massive book inside. This book as metal teeth on its edges.
The cage is locked with many many locks.
The floor is very dusty, but there are some traces of recent passage.
After a few minutes down there, the Abbot who followed them grows uneasy and ask that they all leave.
| 5min = Tons of books on the floors everywhere. In every floor every corridors. Most most of them ineligible.
| 15min = Bell of 5:00 Lauds bell: A person found dead, knife to the heart. No clues. Ambience: Brother Galeazzo is in the middle of a corridor looking intensely at a book. When they interrupt him he is in complete shock and cries, he says the devil was speaking to him. The book in complete gibberish but the page he was looking at is clearly written in another unknown language. Knowledge (heresy) : It’s pagan language.
| 30min = '''Music : Z_Batson-Brigands !''' Attack: As players take a flight of stairs, someone pushes a cabinet bookshelf up the stairs. The cabinet bookshelf will soon fall and they have little time to react. It's up to them to find a way to block it. For example, plant something on the stairs.
Very difficult to go down the stairs quickly enough, the nearest door is closed. But possibility of stalling something in the corner to block.
Great chance that a player will be seriously injured and stay to bed.
When they wake up, most of the monks are gone. The rest are either dead or asleep deeply. All the books have disappeared from the libraries.
They see bloody footsteps leading ot the Archives, but unfortunately the gate is locked, they need ot find the key ! (or use Lockpicking)
{{Ambiance Track
| 5min = They find bloody books all over the hallways. A drop of blood below each books, they stick to the floor.
| 15min = Father Eudes is in the corridor exploded under a piece of furniture bookshelf that fell. He was running away from something. Another player realises that he has a bloody book in his hand. But no voices and he can throw it away.
| 30min = There are monks crying in a corner. He discovers his face, he has no lips, no cheeks and no tongue and bleeds abundantly. When asked who did this he wrote: "Oldaric devil »
| 45min = Father Conrad (mad scribe) (crazy) wants to burn the monastery.
"who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen."
/
"lui qui seul possède l’immortalité, qui habite la lumière inaccessible, lequel aucun des hommes n’a vu, ni ne peut voir, – auquel soit honneur et force éternelle ! Amen."
And yet, in the old testament, it is the exact contrary :
In the book of Kings, the book of Psalms and the book of Chronicles,
it is repeatedly said "The Lord has said that he would dwell in thick darkness. He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water."
/
"Alors Salomon dit: L'Eternel veut habiter dans l'obscurité! Il mit les tenebres pour sa demeure secrete comme sa tente autour de lui, des tenebres d'eaux, d'epaisses nuees de l'air."
God cannot be both surrounded by Light and darkness ! Only Satan is surrounded by darness.
"But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them."
/
"Mais moi, je vous dis de ne pas résister au méchant. Si quelqu'un te frappe sur la joue droite, présente-lui aussi l'autre. Si quelqu'un veut plaider contre toi, et prendre ta tunique, laisse-lui encore ton manteau."
"But if there is harm,[a] then you shall pay life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
/
"oeil pour oeil, dent pour dent, main pour main, pied pour pied, 25brûlure pour brûlure, blessure pour blessure, meurtrissure pour meurtrissure."
God cannot both condone revenge and forgiveness ! Only Satan condones vengeance !
"I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself,"
/
"Moi seul j'ai déployé le ciel, j'ai étalé la terre sans l'aide de personne. "
And yet, in the new testament John says
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men."
/
"Au commencement était la Parole, et la Parole était avec Dieu, et la Parole était Dieu. 2Elle était au commencement avec Dieu. 3Toutes choses ont été faites par elle, et rien de ce qui a été fait n'a été fait sans elle. 4En elle était la vie, et la vie était la lumière des hommes."
Let me ask you a question. Who is the Word ? Who created all things ? Who hide in darkness ? Who condone revenge ?
