* Explanations :
'''Ximeno Locura''' was in love with '''EvelyneBeatriz''', but his father '''Jerome DuboisJuan Madraso''' wanted to marry her to the Bourgmestre instead.
So he drowned him and the burried him with him instrument.
But he pretended to drown and survived. He then left his grave to get his revenge.
Once they are very enfebled, pretend a dancing plague is starting (with bribed actors) a hence triggering a collective hysteria.
He also explains him a way for him to see '''EvelyneBeatriz''', she would have to pretend sleepwalking.
Obviously Ximeno did not imagine this plan, but the individual asked him to do it anyway to get his revenge.
* Unsolved mysteries :
Who is the individual that gave him the Psaltery, the bread and imagined the plan ?
Why giving him a Skeletal Psaltery at all ?

=Part 1 Midnight Dance=
They go to the spot where the skeletal ministrel is supposed to have appeared, in the night between friday and saturday.
They see a white red woman dancing. Like a ghost.
While she dances '''Prince of Darkness - Fire Emblem'''
They approach and see that it's actually aliving lady.
Called '''Evelyne ToffeaBeatriz de la Fuente''', the Bougmestre's '''Guillaume ToffeaFernando de la Fuente''' young bride wakes up every saturday morning t go dance in the woods until sunrise.
She dances every week in the woods. With withered red tulips in her hairs she wears a wonderfull white dress. She had a bucket of withered red tulips in her chamber.
She have a strange reaction if the players mention him.
If the players dig enough, they learn that '''Ximeno Locura''' was a ministrel in love with EvelyneBeatriz.
But he was drowned in the woods near the cemetry then burried in the woods. (EvelyneBeatriz's father killed him, because the local Bourgmestre was also in love with Evelyne Beatriz and he wanted her to marry the Bourgmestre) And they broke his Psaltery (Psaltérion en français)
Actually EvelyneBeatriz's father '''Jerome DuboisJuan Madraso''' did this. And then burried him right here and then, with his instrument.
If they refuse. The peasants do the same.
The head of the peasants, the Bourgmestre : Guillaume ToffeaFernando de la Fuente
The peasants want to defend the illegal mill.
| 60min = They are about a hundred one quarter of the village is dancing One person falls to the ground '''Music : Eros''' he keeps crawling. And says "Help me. We will dance. We will all dance."
People stop caring. They lock themselves in to survive.
| 75min = The remaining villageers are angry and hang '''EvelyneBeatriz''' for revenge. Trigger the flower in the lake event.
| 90min = '''Music : Eros'''
The next day, the village is empty, everyone dances. All playres roll, the one with the lowest result dances also (that's the punishment for not ending the track). In the meantime he can play the Bourgmestre, who helps the players.
This is a revenge from Ximeno, he wants to starve them, trigger a dancing plague and eventually kill all of them.
Everyone dances, except '''EvelyneBeatriz'''
They read through inquisition registry, it seems to have happened before. Long time ago in a not related setting. It's a disease for the soul, nothing magical.
He is not at his home, because that's where they found the devil bread.
Action : They ask people who knew Ximeno if he had a special place to meet '''EvelyneBeatriz'''
Yes, there was an old broken house in the forest where they used to meet.
They see a lot of withered flowers. LOTS of them, so many varieties.
Empty drawers, empty coffers.
Action : Ask someone who knew Ximeno, why so many flowers ? Because he was very found of the language of flowers. That was the way to send him secret messages with evelyneBeatriz.
(check that all those flowers grow in france)
(If evelyne Beatriz is killed or if they threaten her life, this starts right away)
Once they do that, the little water streams starts to be filled with withered

*15min - '''Resist song : One roll''' There's a flash of light, and they see a skeleton with a dark hood hugging the player who has the squeletal coin.
*30min - '''Resist song : One roll''' Some withered flower petals fall. Flower that means death. They can hear clearly someone playing Psaltery. '''Overlay music (on top of other music) : Prince of Darkness'''
*45min - '''Resist song : Two rolls''' If they haven't found the central place yet. '''Overlay music (on top of other music) : Behelith''' They see the a skeletal women dancing with withered flowers in her hairs. It's '''EvelyneBeatriz'''. They can follow her to the central place. Evelyne Beatriz dies if she didn't die previously.
===Central Place===
When hey wake up, they have some vomit at the mouth and they're in the town center. Ximeno is dead. but he's an actual guy, not a skeleton. His skin is soaked though. And he has a skeletal psaltery.
(part of the village may have burned, if they reached the black rain part, evelyne Beatriz may be alive or dead.)
A large portion of the villagers are dead. But not everyone.
They find a contract signed in blood between Ximeno and a certain "L" that details all he has to do to get his revenge.
Some people also knew about Evelyne Beatriz meeting with him and her way of pretending she was posessed.
As well as poems written by him.
A solid proof that he was alive this whole time.
Among his stuff, they find an invitation to a bal masqué called the "Danse macabre"
