The adventure starts here !!!

his adventure takes place at the end of autumn, 1457 in "Saint Patern" city, in the South of Britanny, close to Vannes. Pierre II 'Le simple" just died on the 22th of september and the duchy returned to Arthur III "Le justicier".
The provost of Vannes, certain Gastin, carried for the attention of Arthur III two deaths whom we attribute to a criminal poisoning. Two villagers succumbed to a malignant substance, covering itself with horrible green and purulent patches! A woman, Eloise (pronounce É-loiz), was formally accused to be a witch by locals and locked into the crypt of the cimmetery while waiting for a transfer towards Vannes. The case becomes even stranger because the famous Eloise simply disappeared from the closed cellar where she waited for the guards of the provost. There was only a single door, any means to escape and nevertheless, the beggar is not any more there!

Arthur III manipulates marvelously the poison, but only that of the words. His skills in lethal substance and in physical evaporation are more than reduced. It is for that reason that he went to visit the monk Gildas at the "Abbaye de Rhuys", known at this time for its competences in criminal investigations, and ask him to go to Saint Patern city to understand what happened.

Gildas summons his most experienced followers and explains to them that accompanied with men at arms of Duke they will go to investigate at Saint Patern in the greatest secrecy to clarify the strange story. A map of the city, as well as various documents giving evidence of their ducale mission is handed to them.

In this medieval atmosphere where reigns religion, superstition, power struggles, dark faiths, myths and legends of Brittany, alchemy, popular and monastic magic, the valiant adventurers will have to show discernment to disentangle the truth of the forgery.
