==Le Trésor Perdu d'Aliénor==
In Chapter 1, the Descendants journey to 1942, where one of their Ancestors has been tracking down a Piece of Eden (actually a Shard of Eden) in Nazi-occupied France. By following that lead, the PCs relive some of the oldest genetic memories ever uploaded into the Animus, allowing them to investigate events that took place in the last days of the reign of King Romulus, events that can explain the origins of an Isu Artifact, the Sword of Eden.

The adventure takes an unexpected twist in Chapter 2, when Ziggy, the Crew’s field tech, discovers a recent photo of the pommel of the Sword of Mars at the offices at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The Descendants must infiltrate this heavily guarded NASA facility to pilfer the sword’s pommel and whisk it back to London. Their escape is fraught with peril, but they are aided by a lone Assassin named Anthony. Back to London, the Descendants must once again enter the Animus, this time to visit the Viking Age, where they unravel the history of the sword’s breaking and glean vital clues about its whereabouts in the Modern Day.

In Chapter 3, a Simulation Sequence follows a group of Witnesses in the Victorian Age through the slums of London and beyond, revealing the current resting place of the sword. With Glastonbury Festival as a backdrop, the Assassins must race against time and their Templar adversaries to secure the sword. The storyline culminates in a climactic showdown against the vibrant tapestry of the festival’s music and lights.

==Chapter 1 - The Lost Key==
;General
In the modern day, the Crew of Descendants has gathered in London from all around the world. One of their Brotherhood contacts in the UK, Siegmund “Ziggy” Visser, has reached out to each of them in turn. He has spent weeks collecting evidence concerning a lost piece of Precursor technology that might be related to some of their Ancestors.
 
If this is your first session, the players can roleplay their characters and their arrival at the Stardust, along with their first contact with Ziggy.
 
Ziggy’s hideout is a run-down, abandoned theater in the middle of Camden Town, formally “The Stardust”. He has set up an Abstergo Animus device backstage, modified to connect to a number of commercial Brahman VR visors to allow multi-subject simulations.
 
Whenever the Crew is ready to begin their mission, Ziggy explains how they will enter a Simulation that will send them back to German-occupied France, in the year 1942. It will be the first in a series of memory blocks to investigate, in order to discover how their Ancestors got intertwined with the story of a previously unknown Piece of Eden. Ziggy will work as the Descendant’s field technician, monitoring their performance in the Animus and keeping track of their discoveries.
 
Without further ado, the PCs gather around the Animus device, put on the visors, and the Simulation is on!
 
===Lugers & Ballerinas===
'''Time Frame:''' World War II
 
'''Location:''' Folies Bergère, Center of Paris, France - 1942 CE
 
'''Description:'''  In the midst of the Nazi occupation, a private party is to be held at the Folies Bergère, one of the most famous cabaret music halls in Paris. The organizer is Wilhelm Schmidt, an SS Obersturmführer and low-ranking member of the Templar Order. The night is expected to be attended by soldiers, officers, and local celebrities.<br><br>At the beginning of the Simulation, the Witnesses gather outside the Folies Bergère club, safe from prying eyes. Their mission is to infiltrate the building during the party and recover some intel regarding the recent activities of Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller, a Seneschal Templar.
 
A fine drizzle wets the road in front of the Folies Bergère, its lights creating colorful projections on the sidewalk. If it weren’t for the German uniforms crowding the street, it might almost feel like it did before the war.
 
From your hiding place, you can see German trucks parked a short distance from the theater, and you have watched cars carrying people in evening dresses coming and going for quite some time. Whenever the theater doors open to let new guests in, the sounds of muffled music spill out.
 
One last look at your watches, one last check on your gear, one last deep breath to let the sweet petrichor fill your nostrils. Time to go, Assassins.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
|-|1 - INFILTRATION=
There are a few access routes into the theater. At the back of the building, there is an entrance for waiters and theater workers. On the roof, a maintenance entrance can be easily accessed by jumping from an adjacent building. Finally, there’s the theater’s front door.
 
;Challenges
*''Patrol''<br>A unit of 4 Wehrmacht soldiers patrols the perimeter of the theater. They will take an interest in anyone acting suspiciously and will demand a thorough explanation.
*''Doorman''<br>The show at the Folie Bergère is the event of the week in Paris and the guest list is long. Convincing the doorman that you are on the list or that you are working the event will require a good explanation.
*''Flirting Officer''<br>Oskar Fiedler, a young German officer, is smoking outside the back door, where he is trying to seduce a young dancer, Juliette Merion. He will be a thorn in the side of anyone approaching, tormenting and mocking them in an attempt to impress Juliette.
 
;Weaknesses
*''What do you mean I’m not on the list!''<br>The party has attracted a lot of uninvited guests, who crowd the main door in an attempt to get in. The confusion will make it easier to slip in with a proper ruse or disguise.
*''A Secret Door''<br>A secret access way from the Paris Métro Station of Cedet leads into the theater.
 
|-|2 - RECOVER TEMPLAR INTEL=
Sensitive documents are kept in an area of the theater that Schmidt uses as his office. However, this area is closed for the duration of the party. Two soldiers have been posted to guard the area.
 
If the Witnesses gain access to the office, they will find that a number of documents clutter Schmidt’s desk. Two in particular attract their attention: one concerning the movement of troops towards the Pas-de-Calais region in northern France, and the second the kidnapping of a French professor of medieval history, both requested by Müller.
 
From what they can understand from the documents, Müller is moving to the north of France, in search of technology attributed to the First Civilization: a Piece of Eden, perhaps? The Witnesses must find Müller before he gets his hands on the artifact.
 
;Challenges
*''Nazi guards''<br>The 2 soldiers standing guard have received specific orders that no one can enter the restricted area. Any Social check made to overcome this Challenge requires 1 Raise.
*''Booby-trapped desk''<br>While searching the desk for the documents, a Wits check is required to avoid an explosive trap set by Schmidt. On a failure, all Witnesses in the room must make a Reaction check. The explosion also triggers the They’re Onto Us! Setback. The templar documents are burnt, but still legible.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Orders are Orders (minor)''<br>If someone with a higher rank than Obersturmführer Schmidt gives new orders to the guards, they will obey at once.
*''Let’s Have a Drink! (minor)''<br>The guards are not happy to be on duty instead of at the party, so will gladly chat with anyone approaching. They are easily plied with drink too (which could lead them to go to the bathroom earlier than expected, or allow the Witnesses to put something in their champagne…).
 
|-|3 - KILL SCHMIDT=
Obersturmführer Wilhelm Schmidt occupies one of the central seats of the music hall, amidst a crowd of uniformed officers and bureaucrats, watched over by a dozen soldiers. He is enjoying the show and the evening in a carefree way and will hardly leave the auditorium, happy to spend time with the numerous celebrities present.
 
Special: At the first sign of an attack, the Obersturmführer will take the closest guest or dancer hostage. Any Approach check made to stop him requires 1 additional Raise. On a failure, the An Innocent is Killed Setback is triggered immediately.
 
;Challenges
*''The Life of the Party''<br>Wilhelm Schmidt is very much in the spotlight tonight – it won’t be easy to isolate and stealthily kill him. A direct assault would take everyone by surprise, but it will be difficult to escape the theater unscathed – a frontal assault requires at least 3 separate Approach checks, and the Witnesses trigger the They’re Onto Us! Setback immediately.
*''Sniper Hit''<br>The Witnesses can find a good spot to attempt a shot with a rifle by making an Approach check with 2 Raises, due to the people crowding the auditorium. The shot triggers the They’re Onto Us! Setback immediately.
 
;Weaknesses
*''New Recruit (major)''<br>Schmidt is new to the Templar Order and although he is a fierce supporter of the cause, he remains ignorant about most of the Templar’s practices and traditions. He has been briefed on the existence of the Assassin Brotherhood, but does not know their abilities or intentions. Witnesses introducing themselves as Templars can deceive him with relative ease.
 
</tabber>
 
Moments after completing the final objective, the simulation begins to fade. Ziggy’s voice cuts through the muffled sounds of the party. He tells you that the memory block has been thoroughly explored and pulls you out of the Animus to get some rest.
 
====Setbacks====
*''A SUSPICIOUS SOLDIER (MINOR)''<br>A Nazi soldier takes an interest in one or more Witnesses and starts asking uncomfortable questions.
*''FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)''<br>Bullets start flying. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*''AN INNOCENT IS KILLED (MINOR)''<br>One of the guests, a waiter or a dancer is accidentally killed, or summarily shot for some minor mishap by a Nazi officer. If a number of innocents equal to the number of Witnesses are killed during the mission, the Witnesses lose 1 Sync level.
*''THEY’RE ONTO US! (MAJOR)''<br>The Witnesses have been discovered and now Lugers lead the dance. Panic erupts among the partygoers. For the rest of the Sequence, at the end of an Approach check, the Witnesses must make an additional Reaction check to avoid the Nazis’ attacks.
 
====Notable NPCs====

===Warfare at the Abbey===
'''Time Frame:''' World War II
 
'''Location:'''Saint-Omer, Abbey of Saint-Bertin (Pas-De-Calais, France) - 1943 CE
 
'''Description:''' After recovering and decoding the intel from Schmidt about a possible Piece of Eden, the Witnesses leave Paris on the trail of the Templar’s Seneschal to the Pas-De-Calais region in northern France. Once in Saint-Omer, the German presence quickly becomes evident. The Witnesses approach the target location with the help of a local boatman navigating the Canal de Neufossé aboard his tugboat. Meanwhile, they review the plan to free the kidnapped French professor and retrieve the artifact, studying the map of the small town at the center of which a red circle surrounds the Saint-Bertin Abbey structure: their objective.
 
While the twilight starts to shroud Saint-Omer in darkness, your French boatman docks his tugboat on the muddy quay of the Canal de Neufossé. Cautiously, following your plans, you successfully pass the roadblocks and patrols to reach the monastery surroundings. While regular Wehrmacht units patrol the occupied town, Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller’s SS troops garrison the Abbey of Saint-Bertin. You catch a glimpse of a terrified Lèo Dubois, the Sorbonne French history professor kidnapped by the Templars to help them find the artifact, as he’s escorted out of the monastery. Suddenly shots ring out, missing you by no more than a couple of inches – an ambush! The boatman must have sold you out. The Professor is in extreme danger, and you, too, are caught in a deadly crossfire.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
<tabber>
|-|1 - SAVE THE PROFESSOR=
|-|Intro=
The Professor is in mortal danger: his SS escorts have orders to execute him down by the river. Although now they are focused on the Witnesses, at any moment they could decide to complete their mission.
;Welcome to Boston
 
250 years ago, Boston stood at the heart of the Revolution that led to the beginning of a nation.<br>Travel back in time and relive the key events of the American Revolution.
;Challenges
*''Wehrmacht Ambush''<br>A unit of 5 Wehrmacht soldiers hidden behind a nearby house attack the Witnesses with machine guns.
*''Executioners''<br>2 SS soldiers escort Professor Lèo Dubois from the courtyard down to the river. When the Wehrmacht opened fire, the Professor was thrown to the ground while they took cover behind sandbag barricades.
*''Crossfire''<br>Wehrmacht soldiers ambush the Witnesses from behind, while the SS soldiers prepare to open fire from up ahead. Until the Witnesses overcome the Executioners or the Wehrmacht Ambush Challenges, they must make a Reaction check at the end of each Approach check.
*''Searchlight Turrets''<br>The abbey is garrisoned by SS troops reporting directly to Müller. Most of them are stationed in the area of the monastery and will only become a threat if the Reinforcements Setback is triggered, but the troopers in the courtyard sweep two searchlight turrets about the town to direct fire at the Witnesses.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Turn Out the Lights (minor)''<br>Knocking out the searchlights by shooting them or disabling them would make it harder for the soldiers to see them. In this case, the Witnesses overcome the Searchlight Turrets Challenge and have 1 Free raise on any Reaction check made to face the Crossfire Challenge.
 
|-|2 - FIND THE PIECE OF EDEN=
Once they have rescued Lèo Dubois, the Professor tells the Witnesses that the Templar Seneschal has found a Shard of Eden hidden in the abbey (see Appendix, page 173). It’s a geometrical object the size of a small apple, vibrating with Precursor energy. The Witnesses must then enter the abbey where Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller and his SS guards have barricaded themselves in. The rest of the German troops begin to converge on the abbey, alarmed by shouts, searchlights, and gunfire. Luckily for the PCs, air raid sirens begin to sound all over Saint-Omer: the German outpost is under attack!
 
The ruined monastery is huge, with multiple access routes to it, but the main entrances are all protected by sandbag barricades behind which SS soldiers ready their guns. A humming sound fills the night sky and suddenly an air raid siren begins to wail. You were unaware of any planned raid, but one thing’s for sure: you’re right in the target zone of the RAF’s bombs!
 
;Challenges
*''SS Garrison''<br>SS soldiers take position at the abbey’s windows and doors, ready to shoot the Witnesses on sight.
*''Templar Guards''<br>4 guards guard Müller at all times. Elite soldiers of the Templar Order, they are equipped with deadly weapons and know many of the Brotherhood’s techniques, making them formidable opponents even for an Assassin. Defeating them requires 2 separate Approach checks.
*''Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller''<br>Müller has already found the Precursor artifact fragment in the abbey (a Shard of Eden) – he only wants to flee Saint-Omer before it is destroyed. When the Witnesses locate him, they can see the Shard of Eden clutched in his hand.
 
'''Special:''' Thanks to this Shard of Eden, the SS Sturmbannführer can inflame the emotions of his subordinates, turning them into fearless cannon fodder to cover his escape.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Secret Passageway (minor)''<br>A hidden passageway might be used to enter the abbey undetected, bypassing the soldiers guarding the doors and windows facing the courtyard. By activating the Eagle Vision skill, a Witness can find the secret entrance and overcome the SS Garrison Challenge.
</tabber>
 
Whether or not the characters made it to Heinz Müller and the Shard of Eden, RAF bombers hit their target area, ending the mission.
 
When you hear the dreadful roar of the approaching bombers, it’s already too late – you are standing exactly where you shouldn’t be. You try to escape the falling bombs with a final effort, but it is impossible, and darkness swallows you all. Trapped amidst the rubble, smoke and dust, the noise of German trucks withdrawing leaves a worse taste than the blood that fills your mouth.
 
”Sorry mates, but apparently the bloody Templar managed to escape...” Ziggy’s voice sounds muffled over the crackling of the Simulation’s flames and wounded soldiers’ cries. “Don’t worry lads, we will find it… you did good, let me pull you out…”
 
====Setbacks====
*''REINFORCEMENTS (MINOR)''<br>The Witnesses are too slow to deal with the enemy forces, allowing them time to call in reinforcements from inside the abbey or elsewhere in Saint-Omer. Any Action check made to overcome Challenges involving combat with the German soldiers requires 1 Raise.
*''EXPLOSION (MINOR)''<br>A stray shot causes a gas barrel, the fuel tank of a truck, or some spare ammunition to explode. Every Witness in the area must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise.
*''KILL THE PROFESSOR! (MAJOR)''<br>A German soldier reaches the Professor and shoots him in cold blood. The Witnesses lose 1 Sync level.
*''ROYAL AIR FORCE (MAJOR)''<br>The RAF starts bombing Saint-Omer and the SS outpost at Saint-Bertin Abbey. Every Witness in the area must make a Reaction check with 2 Raises. Additionally, the monastery partially collapses – as long as they remain inside the building, the Witnesses must make a Reaction check every time they make an Approach check.
 
====Notable NPCs====
;Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller
A charismatic and ruthless commander, Heinz Müller is a high-ranking member of the SS and a Seneschal of the Templar Order. Born into a prominent aristocratic family in Munich, Müller’s thirst for power and urge to shape the world led him down a dark path of extremism and intrigue. He orchestrated the abduction of Professor Dubois in Paris, recognizing the potential significance of his research into the Isu and the Pieces of Eden.
 
;Professor Lèo Dubois
Lèo Dubois is an esteemed scholar of ancient history at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris. With a deep passion for uncovering the secrets of the past, the Professor has dedicated his life to studying the remnants of lost civilizations and the mysteries surrounding their existence. He caught the eye of the Templars when he published his theories about a Precursor Civilization, leading to his kidnapping in 1942.
 
====Debrief====
Despite the weariness stemming from days of grueling sessions in the Animus, the Descendants find themselves with no time to spare. With a blend of astonishment and incredulity, Ziggy uncovers traces of the Shard of Eden in the genetic memories of all the Crew’s PCs. Each character appears linked to the artifact through one of their Ancestors. Regrettably, the technician cannot process the DNA of all the characters simultaneously, requiring a few additional hours to begin narrowing down the field.
 
The first memory block displaying traces of the artifact seems to correspond to the Descendant inheriting the genetic memory of an Ancestor from the Archaic Rome Time Frame. As Ziggy autonomously processes the data of the other subjects to cross-reference them with the trace of the Shard of Eden, the technician has already prepared the Animus to launch the next Simulation.
 
It’s early morning and the sky over London is still gray above the rooftops. Ziggy appears triumphantly in the green room of the Stardust, wearing tinted shades and holding a cup of steaming coffee. He explains how his program has found not one, but many matches between the unknown Shard of Eden you lost track of during the World War II Simulation.
 
”I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before. All of you lads are connected to that specific Shard of Eden through one of your Ancestors. That’s a bit of a turn-up!” he exclaims, giving you just a few moments to contemplate the revelation. “Unfortunately, I cannot process all your DNAs at once, and it’ll take me a few more hours to start narrowing down the field if you know what I mean.” he adds, motioning for you to follow him in the Animus room.


”I already got one ready, though. Strangely, it’s not a more recent trace but an older one, much older indeed!” The Simulation that Ziggy has loaded may not be useful for discovering where the artifact ended up after 1943, although he assures you he is working on that. Instead, this Simulation could prove helpful in learning more about the artifact’s origins and capabilities. There was a connection between the relic shard and one of your Ancestors in 8th century BCE Rome.
Welcome to Echoes of Revolution: Boston

'''Description:'''  The Witnesses are members of the Shields of Mars, a secret group of freedom fighters founded by King Romulus himself to protect the Romans from the darkness that seems to edge closer to the city of the Seven Hills with each passing year. A conspiracy is underway against Romulus to overthrow him and subjugate the people of Rome. The conspirators have gathered in an ancient temple to officiate the propitiatory ritual for the King’s assassination, to be carried out the next day, during a speech to the troops gathered on the Campus Martius. The characters must prevent an Etruscan Priest from completing the ritual and laying the foundation of “the rising Cult of Uni” at all costs.

The opening in the cane ceiling lets out the smoke of the flames that illuminates the Domus Regia, the King’s House. Flickering light plays over the image of the god Mars engraved on the bronze shield hanging over Romulus’ seat. The ninth hour has passed, and you are resting around the hearth, eating honey-glazed mushrooms on the eve of the King’s speech to the troops, on the Campus Martius. A hooded woman named Naevia runs into the Domus, gasping for breath. Bending down on one knee, she reports of an assassination plan aimed at the King! Some of the senators, pater familias, and militia captains, unhappy with the King’s politics, have been persuaded by an unknown group that Romulus has softened to such an extent that Rome risks conquest. Behind the conspiracy is a shady Etruscan man whose identity Naevia has yet to discover.

|-|1 - LISTEN TO THE CONSPIRATORS’ SPEECH=
In the heart of the swamps north of the Tiber River stands an old temple dedicated to Laran, the Etruscan god of war. Despite this, the effigies that now decorate the temple portray the goddess Uni instead. Before putting an end to the conspiracy, the Witnesses must identify who is behind the assassination plan and what their intentions are should they successfully kill the King.


The Etruscan Priest is officiating an important ritual to the gods in the ancient temple of Laran, north of the Campus Martius over the Tiber River. You are the Shields of Mars – you must stop this conspiracy before it can develop any further. Once you reach the temple, you spot men and women in fine clothes, their identities concealed behind bronze masks, each accompanied by personal guards.

;Challenges
;T-Mobile
*''Entering the Temple''<br>The Witnesses must find a way to enter the Temple of Laran, where the traitors will participate in the ritual. The Witnesses employ stealth, disguise, or cunning to gain access to the restricted area without raising suspicion.

*''Body Guards''<br>Personal guards accompany each of the guests. Some stay close to their wards, while others remain discretely around the temple’s perimeter. If the Witnesses are not disguised as guests, any Stealth check made to infiltrate the structure requires 1 Raise.
*''Make the Traitors Talk''<br>If the Witnesses are able to interrogate any of the participants in the ritual, they can identify most of the conspirators, as they can be recognized despite their masks by their posture or voice. As far as their motives are concerned, some seem to be here merely out of curiosity, while others are convinced of the need for betrayal and are persuading others. Before taking action against the Etruscan Priest, in order to try to gain enough information the Witnesses must make at least 3 separate Approach checks.<br><br>During the completion of this Challenge, the Witnesses discover one of the following pieces of information for each successful Approach check:
#The source of Romulus’ power is the magical sword he has carried since his first battle. It is imperative to steal it from him.
#The goddess Uni (Juno) herself has ordered the Etruscan to oust the ailing Romulus to create a new order to rule and subjugate Rome.
#Senator Caius of the Gens (Family) Galeria is the spokesman for the Etruscan within the walls of Rome and has long been operating in the shadows to recruit the traitors gathered here tonight.


;Weaknesses
;Niantic Spatial
*''Dead Traitors Wear No Masks (minor)''<br>The characters could ambush any conspirators arriving late, posing as them to enter the temple, speak with the other guests, and get close to the Etruscan. This can overcome the Bodyguards and Cultists Challenges, or give the Witnesses a Free Raise when facing the Make the Traitors Talk Challenge.

|-|ASSASSINATE THE ETRUSCAN PRIEST DURING THE RITUAL=
;Ubisoft
After trying to collect information about the traitors involved and their plan to kill Romulus the next day during his speech to the troops at the Palus Caprae (Goat Marsh), the Witnesses can proceed with their own assassination. The Priest has declared that he can feel a great spiritual force in the temple’s foundations and its alignment with the full moon about to rise. If the Etruscan Priest were to be “accidentally” killed during the ritual, the superstitious Romans might perceive it to be a very bad omen, casting a pall over the whole idea of a conspiracy.

Apparently, Thresu – the Etruscan Priest of Uni, the mighty goddess you all know as Juno – has sensed an otherworldly force pulsating beneath the Laran temple’s foundations. As the moon ascends in the dark sky, the priest narrates how it aligns with cosmic forces beyond mortal comprehension in a crescendo that guides the ritual to its final step, which needs all lights but the moon’s to be extinguished. Time to work in the dark to serve the light: a mishap or an accident during the sacred rites might cast an ominous shadow over the conspirators’ designs...

;Challenges
*''Move Undetected''<br>Setting the plan in motion without being detected by the many guards in the temple and by the circle of cultists who guard the altar is very difficult unless the Witnesses use diversions and camouflage techniques.
*''Set the Trap''<br>Whatever idea the Witnesses come up with to assassinate the Etruscan Priest and make it seem like the will of the gods, it requires 3 separate Approach checks.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Whispers (minor)''<br>Not all of the guests are convinced by the Priest’s words. The Witnesses can try to instill doubt in the minds of those present: the Priest is a foreigner, he has gathered everyone in a foreign temple, and is inviting them to enter the cult of a foreign goddess. This can lower by 1 the number of separate Approach checks required to overcome the Set the Trap in Motion Challenge.

====Setbacks====
;People of the Revolution
*''SUSPICION (MINOR)''<br>As the Witnesses are intent on their eavesdropping efforts, one of the guards becomes suspicious of their presence.
*''THEY’RE AMONG US (MAJOR)''<br>Somebody recognizes the Witnesses in the temple. Both cultists and guards draw their weapons and are now alert and looking for intruders. Until the end of the Sequence, all Stealth checks made to avoid detection require 2 Raises.
 
====Notable NPCs====
;Thresu, Etruscan Priest of Uni
A great public speaker and natural charmer, Thresu is one of the most prominent members of the Cult of Uni, a shadowy collective that operates throughout the Italian peninsula. The cult worships a goddess called Uni, Juno’s Etruscan counterpart, and plots to control the known world. Thresu has started infiltrating every corner of Roman, Sabine, and Latin society, even bringing some prominent pater familias, captains, and senators into his conspiracy against Romulus. By doing this, he pulls the wool over their eyes with promises of conquest and power while slowly indoctrinating them into the cult of the ancient Isu Juno.
 
===Of Wolves and Men===
'''Time Frame:''' Roman Kingdom
 
'''Location:''' Campus Martius, Rome - 717 BCE
 
'''Description:''' When a violent storm whips up during a speech by Romulus, a handful of killers take advantage of the chaos to try to assassinate the monarch. Aided by the Witnesses, the King escapes, and leads them to the Temple of Uni, where Romulus intends to hide the Sword of Eden that the conspirators want to take from him along with the crown. There, the characters enter the underground hall of an Isu temple to face a supernatural and unexpected guardian, learning dark secrets and bitter truths.
 
After sabotaging the Priest of Uni’s ritual, you find yourself at the Palus Caprae on Campus Martius, where the King is speaking to his troops. The city’s most influential patricians are present – you think you recognize some of them from the temple. After a while, the clouds that had been stifling the seven hills over the past few days break into a sudden, violent storm above the parade ground. Everybody scatters for cover.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
<tabber>
|-|1 - PROTECT THE KING=
|-|John Adams=
The Witnesses must protect Romulus and avoid getting killed themselves in the attempt. The heavy rain and mist make it difficult to fight back the killers, as well as covering their escape.
John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy.
 
Amidst the chaos, killers wearing dark tunics and bronze masks emerge from the mist, armed with bows and daggers. Their target is clearly Romulus. They approach menacingly, bowstrings taut. It looks like your actions at the temple were not enough to stamp out this conspiracy. The King of Rome is in danger!
 
{{IUNote|Title=ROMULUS AND REMUS, AND THE SWORD OF MARS|Text=
In this Sequence, Romulus is a key character in the storyline related to the Piece of Eden that the Descendants are investigating. He is also an available Witness of the Roman Kingdom Time Frame. If a Player selected Romulus as the Witness for their Descendant, the Reader can make them aware of the following information whenever they deem it appropriate (the Reader can also decide to impart this information to the Players in another way they see fit).<br><br> The vault beneath the Laran Temple is where, thirty-six years earlier, the Isu Mars personified in front of the twin brothers Romulus and Remus and gave them his Sword of Eden. The two young men argued over who should bear the weapon, and their discussion quickly turned to blood, Romulus eventually stabbing his brother with the Sword of Mars.<br><br> Romulus fled from the temple with the weapon and never returned. He used its powers to conquer and build. However, he never knew that the Isu Mars manifested again to his dying brother, offering him an Atlantis Artifact, a gift that would save his mortal life, at the cost of diminishing his free will and turning him into a Versipellis, an immortal wolf man with superhuman strength.<br><br>The cursed Remus is the Guardian of key objectives 2 and 3, still under the influence of the Atlantis Artifact. However, if the Reader wants to connect this Simulation  to the Champions of Eden Storyline (see page 86), the Isu gift to the dying Remus could instead be the Ring of Moon Piece of Eden (see page 173, the Animi Network Card deck or the Assassin’s Creed RPG App).}}
 
;Challenges
*''Arrows of Uni''<br>Hissing arrows fly through the mist. All Witnesses must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured. It is necessary to make at least 2 Approach checks with 1 Raise to eliminate the Archers.
*''Daggers of Uni''<br>The killers – armed with short, vicious blades – are set on targeting Romulus, but everybody in their way instantly becomes a target. Defeating the Daggers of Uni requires at least 3 separate Approach checks.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Protect the King! (minor)''<br>There are still a number of loyal guards nearby, and a Witness might leave the combat to muster a handful to the King’s side, turning the tide of battle in his favor. In this case, only 2 Approach checks are required to defeat the Daggers of Uni Challenge, and the Approach checks made to overcome the Arrows of Uni Challenge require no Raise.
 
|-|2 - CONFRONT THE GUARDIAN=
The Cultists of Uni want to end Romulus’ reign and seize the Sword of Mars. By now, it is clear that they have poisoned the minds of many patricians and senators, and the King has no choice than to take drastic action: Romulus leads the Witnesses to a mysterious underground temple beneath the Temple of Laran. Beyond a secret door known only to him is an Isu Vault hidden dozens of feet below the surface. However, neither the Witnesses nor the King of Rome know that a fierce beast lurks in the shadows of the vault, waiting for them.
 
The wind dies down and the mist clears, allowing you to see a few feet further than you did moments before. The rain, for its part, shows no sign of abating, your path now a veritable quagmire. Following you should at least prove impossible. The small steps of the Temple of Laran appear before you once again, leading to welcome shelter. Inside, the abandoned bronze masks still lie on the cold ground, as does the body of the Priest of Uni.
 
Under your questioning gaze, Romulus advances with a decisive step towards a wall, feeling it with his left hand until he locates a particular carving. Sighing, the King draws his sword, inserting its pommel into the carving. With a resounding “click”, geometric lines glow an intense yellow, a loud noise of grinding stone echoes through the temple and a secret door opens diagonally in the wall. What lies beyond is alien to Roman technology in every way. The King of Rome enters the dark, smooth tunnel behind the door and descends into the Earth’s belly, down to an immense circular hall beneath a 25-foot-high dome. Perfectly square monoliths rise around the hall’s perimeter, each bearing indecipherable geometric shapes and glimmering with a soft bluish glow.
 
Before you have taken in what you are witnessing, a terrible growl breaks the air. Two glowing yellow eyes blink open. A massive, snarling shape darts toward you, swift and lethal as a predator.
 
{{IUNote|Title=THE POMMEL OF THE SWORD OF MARS|Text=In this scene, the players identify the Shard of Eden they have seen while participating in the World War II Simulation Sequence as the pommel of Romulus’ sword, which he uses as a key to open the door to the Isu Vault.}}
 
;Challenges
*''Face the Fury''<br>The creature that attacks the Witnesses is so fast that they fail to give it a good look, before they react instinctively and try to dodge its furious attacks. On a failure, a Witness automatically triggers the Brutal Combat Setback.
*''Howl of Terror''<br>The creature lets loose a deafening howl that threatens to burst the Witnesses’ eardrums.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Animal Companion (minor)''<br>If a Witness has the Animal Companion Skill active, their faithful friend warns them of the ambush just before it’s too late. In this case, a Witness has 1 Free Raise when facing the Face the Fury Challenge and does not automatically trigger the Brutal Combat Setback on a failure.
 
|-|3 - DEFEAT THE GUARDIAN=
After the confusion of the initial attack, the Witnesses finally see what confronts them: a humanoid creature about 10 feet tall, with a massive, sinewy structure covered by dark, shaggy fur and tatters of ancient clothes. The beast’s huge hands end in tremendous claws, and the head resembles that of a giant wolf with glowing yellow eyes.
 
The air quivers with an eerie silence as you confront this beast that straddles the realms of myth and reality. The monstrous being, a grotesque hybrid of man and wolf, clenches its claws, ready to rend and tear once again. However, it stands still for a moment to let you look at its figure. And so you do, and your eyes stare at that beast long enough to understand it’s not just a bad dream. No, you just stumbled upon one of the terrors from Etruscan and Latin legend: the dreaded Versipellis, commonly known as a werewolf.
 
;Challenges
*''Mighty Foe''<br>The Versipellis is a formidable adversary, able to quickly regenerate its wounds. Defeating it requires at least 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise. Also, if a Witness fails this Challenge, they automatically trigger the Brutal Combat Setback.
*''Lethal Blow''<br>Once the Mighty Foe Challenges have been completed, it is time to inflict the coup de grace. This requires at least 2 separate Approach checks.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Once Were Brothers (major)''<br>The monster is actually Remus, the twin brother of the King. After a few moments of horrified stupor Romulus recognizes him, and he and the Witnesses can try to snap him out of his beastly curse. In this case, the Witnesses immediately achieve the Defeat the Guardian Key Objective.
 
</tabber>
 
”All these years... enough! Mars! I refuse your gift! I renounce my revenge! I renounce hatred! I renounce this corrupt existence. As I finally take my last steps toward Avernus.” The voice of Remus echoes in the hall as the monster calls for surrender and falls to his knees. The creature collapses heavily on the ground. As if a ritual or a curse were breaking, his unnatural eyes change to a warm hazel color, while its feral limbs slowly return to those of a young man. A thin line of blood trickles slowly from the fallen body towards the Witnesses’ feet. As the Simulation starts to fade out, you can see the Witnesses picking up the body of Remus, setting him on the altar at the center of the hall, before placing the Sword of Eden back in his arms.
 
====Setbacks====
*''FALLING DEBRIS (MINOR)''<br>The violence of the beast’s attacks cause the whole place to tremble. A piece of stone masonry falls from a wall, a pillar, or the vault’s ceiling. A Witness must make a Reaction check.
*''BRUTAL COMBAT (MAJOR)''<br>The monster’s supernatural strength leaves armor sundered and bones broken. For the rest of the Sequence, all Action and Stealth checks made by the Witnesses who triggered this Setback require 1 additional Raise.
*''THE KING’S BLOOD (MAJOR)''<br>Despite the efforts of the Witnesses, King Romulus is injured. The Witnesses lose 1 Sync level.
 
====Notable NPCs====
;Remus
Born alongside his twin brother Romulus, Remus shares a mysterious origin story shrouded in myth. In life, Remus had an undisciplined spirit, constantly challenging the status quo and questioning authority, and a deep sense of justice and a burning desire for equality, all traits that later inspired the remorseful Romulus during his reign and eventually led him to found the Shields of Mars.
 
==Chapter 2 - Science and History==
The Descendants have identified the Shard of Eden that they saw during the Simulation in France in 1942: the small, geometric object in Heinz Müller’s possession was the pommel of the Sword of Eden that the Shields of Mars left in the Isu Vault beneath the Temple of Laran in 717 BCE.
 
Once out of the Animus, the PCs have a little time to rest and consider their discovery  before meeting with Ziggy and to plan their next moves.
 
===For the Benefit of All===
'''Location:''' NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, USA - 2016
 
'''Description:'''  A few hours have passed since the Descendants left the gloomy swamps of ancient Rome. Ziggy gathers them in the common room; he has found something worthy of their attention. After an in-depth search and triangulation of the data gathered, the technician has found a trace of the pommel in a photograph from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.


“The bloke in the photo is Dr Samuel Smith, a brilliant young engineer with no evident link to our dear Nazi Müller or the Templars. Pretty unexpected if you ask me. However, as you can clearly see, that object he seems to be using as a paperweight on his desk… well, it really looks like our Piece of Eden fragment to me, dunnit?” As you study the photo, Ziggy hands you an envelope containing plane tickets for the next flight to Houston. “Failure is not an option, lads!”
While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.


{{IUNote|Title=WHAT IF DR SMITH IS A TEMPLAR?|Text=Dr Samuel Smith is not connected in any way to the Templars or other agents in pursuit of Isu artifacts. He is completely unaware of the origin of the pommel or its properties, and he ended up in its possession by pure chance — he works with astromaterials, materials not from our Earth, and found it at an auction for meteorites and objects made of exotic minerals.<br><br>This is his backstory, unless the Reader decides to introduce an intriguing twist: instead of having inherited the Shard of Eden by pure chance, Dr Smith could have been an active participant in the conspiracy or – why not – be the mastermind behind it all, possibly being the actual descendant of Heinz Müller…}}
|-|Samuel Adams=
Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.<br><br>As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.


====Key Objectives====
|-|Crispus Attucks=
<tabber>
Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.<br><br>Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.
|-|1 - INFILTRATE THE SPACE CENTER=
Unfortunately for the Descendants, Ziggy stays behind in London and can only help them remotely. He has booked a room for the PCs in a motel not far from the Johnson Space Center and tickets for an “open house” guided tour of the facility. The Descendants must find the office of Dr Samuel Smith where the Shard of Eden could be located, and reach it without being discovered.


In the dimly lit room of the cheap motel, you huddle around a small, stained table cluttered with maps, tourist brochures, and the few high-tech gadgets that you could safely get through airport security. The heavy air, with the scent of mildew and stale cigarette smoke, adds to the clandestine atmosphere that fills the room. Peeking through the tattered, blue curtains, you see the blinking lights of the Johnson Space Center. Your goal is to reach Building 31, where the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science offices are located. Time to make plans, and to make them work.
|-|Benjamin Franklin=
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.<br><br>Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).


;Challenges
|-|John Hancock=
*''The Guided Tour''<br>The PCs can enter the part of the facility that is open to the public as regular visitors during the open house tour at the Johnson Space Center, and wait for the right moment to sneak away from the group in search of Building 31.
John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England’s wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.<br><br>Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.
*''Security Officers''<br>As the characters move deeper into the Space Center, they encounter vigilant security officers stationed throughout the facility.
*''Security System''<br>The Johnson Space Center boasts a state-of-the-art security system, including surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and latest-generation alarm systems. Any Stealth check made to remain undetected while moving in restricted access areas requires 1 Raise.


;Weaknesses
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
*''The Article (minor)''<br>The PCs might call the Johnson Space Center, posing as journalists from a local newspaper or TV, securing themselves a guest badge and gaining access to buildings that are normally off limits to the public. Therefore, the Descendants overcome the Security System Challenge and have 1 Free Raise on any Social check made to overcome the Security Officers Challenge.
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies’ break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of ''"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"''.
*''Employee’s Badge (minor)''<br>If the PCs can steal or fake an employee’s badge, they can disguise themselves as workers who would be inconspicuous walking through the Space Center corridors. In this case, the Descendants overcome the Security System Challenge.


|-|2 - TAKE THE SHARD OF EDEN=
|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
Dr Samuel Smith’s office in Building 31 is a busy workspace befitting a senior employee – which might look slightly in contrast with his relatively young age. Regardless of when the Descendants infiltrate the facility, they will find Dr Smith working on legitimate NASA projects at his desk.
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.<br><br>He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.<br><br>After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.


Looking through the open door into the office, you can see walls lined with tall bookshelves filled with volumes on astromaterials, aerospace engineering, and space exploration. At the center of the room is a spacious desk piled high with neatly stacked research papers, books, an Abstergo laptop, and a NASA-branded mug filled with steaming black coffee. And there it is… the Shard of Eden, being used as a paperweight.
|-|Paul Revere=
Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.<br><br>He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a ''"one if by land, two if by sea"'' signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1861 poem, ''"Paul Revere's Ride"'' transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.


;Challenges
|-|Joseph Warren=
*''Knock Knock''<br>The Descendants could try to engage in a conversation with Dr Smith while remaining inconspicuous – maybe in disguise – to try to steal the fragment of the artifact undetected. In this case, to take possession of the Shard of Eden Fragment, the PCs must make at least a Social check to deceive Dr Smith and a Stealth check to take the artifact without being noticed.
Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.<br><br>Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.
*''Ring Ring''<br>The PCs can create a distraction by calling Dr Smith’s office phone and summoning him somewhere else in the complex. In this case, the Descendants can make a Social check to convince him to temporarily leave his office.
*''Over and Out''<br>After successfully retrieving the artifact, the PCs must exit the Space Center without raising suspicion or getting caught, before returning to the motel.


;Weaknesses
|-|George Washington=
*''Fire, Fire! (major)''<br>The PCs could trigger the fire alarm, leading to an evacuation of the facility and allowing them to access Dr Smith’s empty office. In this case, the Crew achieves the Take the Shard of Eden Key Objective. However, by doing this, they automatically trigger the Alarm Setback.
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.<br><br>Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

====Setbacks====
;Memories
*''STOP RIGHT THERE! (MINOR)''<br>Security officers spot the PCs. Any Descendant involved must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise to avoid the security officers raising the alarm or calling for backup. On a failure, the PCs automatically trigger the Alarm Setback.
*''ALARM (MAJOR)''<br>If the PCs trigger an alarm or fail to effectively neutralize security measures, security officers will be alerted of the intrusion. Any Approach check to face the Security System and Security Officers Challenges requires 1 additional Raise.
 
====Notable NPCs====
;Dr Samuel Smith
Dr Samuel Smith, a brilliant engineer, is the son of a US intelligence agent. He grew up in a household that valued discipline, integrity, and a strong work ethic. Deciding to follow his passion for space exploration, he excelled academically, earning a doctorate from MIT at a remarkably young age and getting his first job at NASA soon after.
 
===Houston City Shuffle===
'''Location:''' Houston, Texas, USA - 2016
 
'''Description:'''  After the Descendants retrieve the pommel of the Sword of Mars, they return to the motel in preparation for their flight back to London. It’s almost night. Moments before they leave, however, black SUVs arrive at the motel.
 
The last light of the day vanishes behind the red horizon as you finish packing. Suddenly, five black SUVs screech into the motel parking lot. Over two dozen Abstergo agents swarm out of them and begin a coordinated search of the place, ignoring the protestations of the motel manager.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
<tabber>
|-|1 - ESCAPE FROM THE ABSTERGO AGENTS=
|-|Banner=
The Descendants must find a way to evade the Abstergo agents, who are heading towards the PCs’ location, kicking down doors. The PCs have but a few moments to grab their belongings – and the Shard of Eden – and escape before getting captured.
;The Flag
You are outside Faneuil Hall. In 1776, while the Revolution was in full swing, this area was a hotbed of Patriotic sentiment. Talks were delivered here and revolutionary banners displayed openly despite the British occupation. Alongside Samuel Adams, create a banner and unfurl it on the front of the building in defiance at British rule.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era Boston and head to Faneuil Hall.


;Challenges
;Historical details
*''Set traps in the room''<br>The Descendants can use what they have in the motel room to build a rudimentary trap. Whether it is effective or not, it doesn’t matter, so long as it delays the Abstergo agents.
When the Thirteen Colonies of America were seceding from the British at the start of the revolution, it became necessary for a flag to be created to symbolize the patriot cause and rally individuals for the Revolution!<br><br>These flags were often created by local artists and revolutionary groups to reflect the locations or the key messages that they stood for. One famous example is The Moultrie Flag. Commissioned by Colonel William Moultrie in 1775 to prepare for war with Britain, it depicts a white crescent moon with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed within it on a field of navy blue.
*''Face the agents''<br>There are too many agents to overwhelm, but a well-executed attack might lead them into a tactical retreat.
*''Disappearing''<br>The PCs must leave their motel room without alerting the nearby agents. Whether they climb through the small bathroom window in the back, onto the structure’s roof, or sneak through the shadows, there are so many agents that any Stealth check made to overcome this Challenge requires 1 Raise.


;Weaknesses
;Instructions
*''Blackout (minor)''<br>A character can try to create a short circuit to cause a blackout, throwing the motel into complete darkness. In this case, every Stealth check made to overcome the Disappearing and Face the Agents Challenges has 1 Free Raise.
Objective
Alongside Sons of Liberty member Samuel Adams, and the proud revolutionaries in Boston, design a banner to show your defiance of British rule.


|-|2 - ACROSS THE BORDER=
Creating
Anthony, an Assassin who belonged to a local long-defunct Brotherhood cell, makes an unexpected appearance. He helps the characters escape the motel and reach the Mexican frontier. There’s a small plane waiting at a safe aerodrome just beyond the border, near a remote town overlooking the serene Laguna Madre: a last resort plan that Anthony always kept in working order. There, the PCs can regroup, fly back to England and safeguard the artifact.
Tap on the highlighted items on the table to customize each element of your banner. \nYou can choose the slogan, emblem, pattern, and cloth.


Just as you think you’ve made it out, you stumble into a couple more Abstergo agents. Clad in dark suits and equipped with earpieces and flashlights, they pull up their automatic weapons and move swiftly to block your path to freedom. Before anybody can move a muscle, a loud “zzzap” fills the air. Both agents collapse to the ground, unconscious. A hooded man missing his ring finger and dressed in a worn-out Assassin vest stands behind the agents. Strapped to his forearm is a shock blade. He retracts the blade with a quick, calculated move. “I’m Anthony, and I’m a Brother! C’mon, we gotta move quick, those bastards arrived in numbers!” He urgently gestures for you to follow him to a nearby pickup truck.
Flying the banner
Once you're happy with your design, tap the highlighted ladder to unfurl your banner.


;Challenges
;What happens
*''Dusty Pursuit''<br>The pickup is going full throttle, but it doesn’t take long for a couple of Abstergo SUVs to catch up with them, attempting to ram the PCs’ vehicle off the road. The PCs must outmaneuver the agents on the dusty Texas roads. Given the high speed, any Approach check made to overcome this Challenge requires 1 additional Raise.
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Start] ''Greetings friend. Make your banner then head to the ladder to unfurl it on the building.''
*''Aim and Fire''<br>Anthony’s got some firearms in the back of the pickup. The characters can open fire at the approaching vehicles.
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Decal chosen] ''We need a strong image that speaks to the justness of our cause..''
*''Pit Stop Heist''<br>Since Abstergo might have registered the model, color and plate of Anthony’s pickup, the PCs must make a pit stop to “obtain” a new vehicle. The PCs must get a new car without drawing attention.
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Pattern chosen] ''Remember, it is through our own hands that we make our destiny.''
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Phrase chosen] ''Let them know it only takes a tireless minority committed to liberty.''
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Ladder tapped] ''Shall we unfurl your creation? Look up at the front of the building.''
*'''Samuel Adams:''' [Banner shown] ''A fine creation, a banner like that will inspire all who see it!''


;Weaknesses
;Outcome
*''Smoke Bomb (minor)''<br>A PC that has or creates a smoke bomb can throw it on the road to block the pursuers’ view. They’ll need to find the right materials to create the smokescreen or something similar. This could involve tampering with machinery to release steam or triggering a small chemical explosion. In this case, any Approach check made to overcome the Dusty Pursuit and Aim and Fire Challenges have 1 Free Raise.
*Banner Created
Your banner proudly flies over Boston and stands as a rallying symbol for the Revolution. It joins the many patriotic flags that are being created all over America to show protest and pride in the creation of a new nation.


</tabber>
;Log
Outside the famous Faneuil Hall I joined Patriot Samuel Adams and constructed my own revolutionary banner. Unfurling it on the front of the building I made my opposition to British rule clear.


After hours of intense driving and heart-pounding adrenaline, you, Anthony, and the stolen pommel of the Sword of Mars finally arrive at the secluded aerodrome a few miles across the Mexican border. Anthony tells you he has been waiting for a good excuse to use his escape plan for over a decade, and now it’s time. The old rusty plane is waiting in a tiny hangar. With a collective sigh of relief, you abandon the car and get ready to jump onboard. Anthony nods in silent acknowledgment of your success as he tries to start the aircraft’s engines. It takes a couple of minutes, but eventually, with the grumble of an old wreck, it sets in motion. “It’s alive! Alive!” yells Anthony as he drives to the dark runway.

;An American Navy
This area, now known as Boston Common, was public common Iand used as a training ground for Soldiers throughout the Revolution. In 1775, the British Navy controlled the Atlantic and Congress decided to create a new Continental Navy. Train alongside naval captain John Paul Jones to learn to command a ship. \n\nLook out over the docks of revolutionary era Boston and begin your naval training.


However, while you take your seats, Anthony gives a worried look back at the empty aerodrome. “They’ll come for us… they always do. But we’ll be ready, right?” A mixture of excitement and concern settles over the cockpit as the plane starts to accelerate up the runaway, your minds race with questions about the next steps.
;Historical details
At the start of the American Revolution, the Royal Navy faced little opposition from the fledgling American Navy. Several colonies maintained small state navies, and in 1775 Congress authorized the creation of a Continental Navy. These forces amounted to only several dozen small vessels and a handful of frigates.\n\nOne particularly notable American naval officer of the Revolutionary War was John Paul Jones. Among several victories he was responsible for the capture of the Royal Navy frigate Serapis. He came to be regarded as the father of the American Navy due to his advocacy for and training of American Naval officers.


====Setbacks====
;Instructions
*''CALL 911 (MINOR)''<br>The distant wailing of sirens pierces the air as flashing red and blue lights grow closer. Another driver has reported the dangerously erratic driving of the pickup, gunfire, or the theft of a car from the gas station. Time is of the essence, and PCs now have to lose the police as well as Abstergo.
Objective
Join Captain John Paul Jones to take command of a ship and complete the training exercise in the shortest time possible, demonstrating and honing your skills.  


====Notable NPCs====
The course
;Anthony the Assassin
To complete the course, you must sail through all the checkpoints in the lowest time possible.\n \nYou can lower your time by sinking the other ships as you go.
Anthony, the last Assassin of a long-defunct Brotherhood cell based in Texas, is a tall and athletic man in his late forties, with a rugged appearance that makes him effortlessly blend into a number of environments. He has a strong jawline, long brown hair, and a pair of piercing dark eyes.


Anthony is a double agent, working secretly for Abstergo. Yet, driven by a fervent desire for a world unburdened by the ancient feud between Assassins and Templars, he’s not loyal to the Templar cause either, and he pursues his own agenda. He has been monitoring the Crew since they landed in Houston, and plans to help them until he gains their trust and eventually exploit the secrets hidden in their genetic memories to take the Sword of Mars for himself, with which he plans to transcend the ancient feud and free the world from the factions perpetuating the clandestine conflict (this will come to pass in Chapter 3, in the Abstergo Raid! Modern Day Sequence).
Controlling your ship
Rotate the wheel by drawing a circle on your screen to steer the ship.\n\nDrag the sail bar up or down to control speed.


====Debrief====
Firing your cannons
With the precious Shard of Eden securely in their grasp, the PCs and Anthony effectively reach out to Ziggy, who promptly arranges their return to the hideout in the UK. Initially wary of the Crew’s newfound partner, Ziggy conducts a series of thorough background checks. Upon finding nothing suspicious, the technician cautiously accepts the unexpected assistance. Continuing with the mission, Ziggy utilizes his expertise to analyze the Shard of Eden and extract valuable information.
Tap the cannon icons to fire from either side of your ship. \n\nAfter each volley, your cannons will be temporarily unavailable while your crew reloads; time your shots wisely.


”Finally! I’m gathering new data from this fragment you’ve recovered, and it’s proper incredible. I managed to locate the moment when another of your Ancestors crossed paths with the sword. That means we can skip right to that instant. Get ready, you’re going to visit Britain in the ninth Century!”
;What happens
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Start] ''America will need a strong navy. Sail through all four checkpoints as fast as you can!''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 1] ''Maneuverability will let you have the weather gauge. Staying upwind of your target gives you the advantage.''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 2] ''Remember, position will be critical for you to run alongside your enemy and give them a broadside. ''
*'''Cpt. John Paul Jones:''' [Checkpoint 3] ''Pray you remember this training when you find yourself in the fray, and you will be fine.''

The Green Dragon Tavern stands before you. In its original form, in 1775, it was used by the Sons of Liberty for their resistance activities in British-occupied Boston. Join William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, find a cipher hidden in the tavern, to decrypt an urgent secret message.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the famous Green Dragon Tavern.


As your eyelids slowly open, you find yourself bound to a chair, your arms tightly secured behind your back. Your vision adjusts to the dimly lit surroundings, illuminated by the flickering flames of a small fire in the corner of the room. The air is filled with a cacophony of indistinct voices, muffled by a loud buzzing sound. You notice five people rummaging through your belongings, scattered on a nearby table, their chatter blending with the crackling of the fire. Suddenly, the creaking of the wooden door draws your attention, and a man enters the room. He is clearly a knight— his attire is lavish, his garments meticulously groomed, and a finely crafted sword hangs at his side. Engaging in a brief exchange of words with the other men, the distinguished figure directs his attention towards you, approaching with an air of mockery: “Ahahaha, well, well. It seems I was correct in my assumption. I always suspected that your reputation was nothing more than embellishments and the sweat of others.
;Historical details
The Green Dragon Tavern was a popular meeting place for the Sons of Liberty, a clandestine group of Revolutionaries who worked for America's independence. Their work was kept secret through a network of supporters and through a range of spy craft during the revolution, from coded lantern signals to invisible ink and complex ciphers. \n \nAmong the most notable ciphers of the era was that developed by James Lovell, though it frequently failed in practice. Lovell's hints at the keyword were often so obscure as to be useless, as this instruction to John Adams illustrates: \"You certainly can recollect the name of that family where you and I spent our last evening together... Make regular alphabets in number equal to the first sixth part of that family name.\" Adams struggled so persistently with the cipher that he once accused Benjamin Franklin of deliberately withholding information, having simply failed to decode his letter.


Now, my Norse friend, do enlighten me. Where is Excalibur?”
;Instructions
Objective
William Bowes, member of the Sons of Liberty, is deciphering an important letter for John Adams while he is away. Find the cipher he has hidden somewhere in the tavern.


At that moment, the door swings open once more, revealing Niamh and your trusted companions standing at the threshold, ready to fight!
Interaction
Tap on objects in the tavern to interact with them.


{{IUNote|Title=EXCALIBUR AND THE SWORD OF MARS|Text=Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur, is no less than the Sword of Mars that the Crew is looking for. In the 5th century, King Arthur drew the sword from a stone, earning the trust of the Women of the Mist, a group of Celtic witch-warriors from Avalon, the guardians of Excalibur. Arthur later distanced himself from them due to his affiliation with the Order of the Ancients, giving rise to a rival group, the Descendants of the Round Table. After Arthur’s demise, the clan safeguarded Excalibur beneath Stonehenge, until the late 9th century when Viking Eivor Varinsdottir took it. In 878, Niamh of Argyll, a priestess of the Women of the Mist, was instructed by their Lady to spy on the organization called the Hidden Ones and retrieve the sword. Despite facing numerous challenges, Niamh succeeded in her mission. Currently, Excalibur is in her possession.}}

====Key Objectives====
;What happens
<tabber>
*[Start] I need to find the hidden locked box and the key to it so I can get to the cipher. I heard him talk about paper, a painting, and the lanterns.
|-|1 - ELIMINATE THE OPPOSITION=
*[BookcaseTappedClosed] This bookcase looks like it moves, but it's too heavy to pull. Maybe there's a secret way of opening?
The knight draws his sword, and the mercenaries immediately ready their weapons and attack!
*[LanternFirst] The lanterns seems to control something in the room. I need to work out the pattern.
*[Painting] Ah, this must be a pattern to the lanterns. I should see if I can make them match.
*[LanternComplete] That opened a hidden area behind the bookcase. There is the locked box!
*[BoxNoKey] Hmm, this box is locked. There must be a key hidden somewhere.
*[FirstPaper] This scrap of a drawing seems important. I'll place it on the table over there.
*[TableMissing] I need to find some more pieces of drawing to work out what this is showing.
*[AllPaper] That looks like it's all of them. I should look at what it's made on the table.
*[TableComplete] This shows the dragon sign on the wall. I should take a closer look and see if it matches.
*[DragonComplete] This now matches the drawing. I've found a key in its mouth!
*[Key] You have aligned the section of the Green Dragon sign to match the design from the pieces of paper. This has opened a secret compartment and you have found a key.\n\nThis must be a key to the locked box that contains the cipher.
*[BoxWithKey] The key opened it and the cipher is inside. Now I can read the letter!


'''Special:''' Eivor starts the fight restrained, therefore she must make a Challenge to free herself if she wants to join her friends.
;Outcome
*Message Deciphered
You have successfully helped the Sons of Liberty decipher a secret message vital to the Revolution. \n\nClandestine communications are essential for effectively fighting against the British, so long as they are not too complicated to decode!


;Challenges
;Log
*''Well-Armed Mercenaries''<br>The mercenaries are capable and well-armed, and despite the initial surprise, they fight with ferocity, selling their lives dearly. Therefore defeating them requires 2 separate Approach checks.
Alongside William Bowes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, I solved the puzzle of the Green Dragon tavern and managed to find the cipher to an urgent secret message.
*''Knight of the Round Table''<br>The mysterious knight, Leofwine, fights skillfully.


;Weaknesses
|-|Gear=
*''I don’t want to die! (minor)''<br>Leofwine, surprised by the situation, will surrender at his opponents’ first sign of martial superiority. Witnesses can easily overcome the Knight of the Round Table Challenge if they prove skilled and deadly, perhaps by effortlessly defeating the mercenaries.
;Minutemen
The British had left Boston by 1778, and this area of Boston Common then served as an encampment and training ground for the Patriot militias. Gather your gear and prepare to join the fight as one of the famous Minutemen.\n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the street next to the encampments on Boston Common.


|-|2 - RETRIEVE INFORMATIONS=
;Historical details
Once the Witnesses have defeated Leofwine and the mercenaries, a thorough search or interrogation will gather the information they need.
As war broke out between the American colonies and Great Britain, the Americans were forced to adjust and evolve their military. This was previously defined by informal militia but as events around Boston became more tense, many communities in Massachusetts began to create more elite regiments. \n\nTheir regiments trained more frequently and were expected to be ready quickly, “at a minute’s warning...” They became known as “Minute Men.” These regiments were made of men from all economic and racial backgrounds and formed the backbone of the Revolutionary forces.\n


;Challenges
;Instructions
*''Thorough Search''<br>Leofwine is carrying a medallion bearing a symbol that is easily identified as referencing the Knights of the Round Table, the loyal servitors of the legendary King Arthur who is believed to have reigned over Britain in the fifth century. Yet, the symbol seems to be a variant, suggesting a reference to Mordred, the traitorous son of King Arthur. Moreover, Leofwine arrived here on a horse, that if inspected is burdened by saddlebags containing a few coins from the kingdom of Wessex, some wine, and a map showing the route from Glastonbury to Ravensthorpe.
Objective
*''Interrogation''<br>If questioned, Leofwine reveals that he belongs to the Descendants of the Round Table’, a group serving a leader they call ‘Mordred’, out of their headquarters at Glastonbury Abbey — their goal: recover the mythical sword Excalibur and conquer Britain.
Colonel Bigelow commanded the Massachusetts Militia camped here. You need to collect your gear from around the camp.


;Weaknesses
Needed gear
*''Eagle Sense (major)''<br>If one of the Witnesses were to kill Leofwine and then use Eagle Sense (see Skill Cards), they can obtain all the necessary information, including the location of the knights at Glastonbury Abbey and their motives, as above.

====Setbacks====
;What happens
*''BURNING EMBERS (MINOR)''<br>During the fight, someone stumbles upon the fire in the corner of the room, or kicks it on purpose, spreading burning embers around the wooden house. If this Setback is triggered three or more times, it directly activates the Flames Setback.
*'''MILITIA:''' [Start] ''Thank you for answering the call of your country. Gather your seven items of gear.''
*''FLAMES (MAJOR)''<br>The whole house catches ablaze. Heavy smoke fills the air, making eyes itch and breathing difficult. For anyone in the flaming building, any checks require 1 additional Raise.

*'''MILITIA:''' [6 collected] ''Have a spring in your step Patriot. You need to gather only one more.''


====Notable NPCs====
Equipment:
;Niamh
*Blanket
Niamh of Argyll is a cunning Celtic witch-warrior from the Women of the Mist, with dark reddish hair tied back with a ribbon. She has a lunar tattoo on her forearm, a symbol of her faith in Avalon. Niamh heavily influenced the politics in Mercia, initially infiltrating the Hidden Ones to discern their objectives in Britain. She later proved her allegiance to her people by taking Excalibur from Eivor Varinsdottir. Despite this betrayal, Niamh later forged a powerful alliance between the Women of the Mist and the Hidden Ones, uniting them in a common front against the Order of the Ancients and their allies.
**Soldiers' blankets were mostly made of wool, linen, or the mixed cloth linsey-woolsey,  and came in a variety of colors and patterns. There was no official provision of blankets, and most were donated from people's own homes.
*Canteen
**A canteen - made of wood, tin, or glass - was vital for militia soldiers to carry water on the march. With a typical day's march covering 8 to 13 miles and a canteen holding just 1.4 liters, a soldier had to make that supply last the entire day unless he found a chance to refill it.
*Tricorn Hat
**Perhaps one of the most iconic and easily recognized pieces of clothing from the colonial era is the tri-corner hat, or more simply known as the tricorn. Although the style originated in Europe, it is now associated with the American Revolutionary War and the nation's fight for freedom.
*Powder Horns
**A militia soldier needed two powder horns: a large one, for the coarse powder used in the main charge in the musket, and a small one, to hold the more finely ground powder that was used in the priming pan. These were made from real horns that were often obtained from domestic cattle.
*Musket
**The most common weapon used during the American Revolution was the musket - a long smoothbore gun without grooves inside its barrel, fired from the shoulder. These weapons were slow, complicated to load and extremely inaccurate, and were normally only fired in volleys.
*Sword
**During the Revolutionary War, most infantrymen carried a hanger as a secondary weapon, a type of short sword with a blade about twenty-five inches long, designed to supplement their musket in close combat. This sword is based on the one carried by Massachusetts minute man James Taylor.
*Worm
**‘The Worm' was the name given to a corkscrew-shaped piece of metal which was used to extract any residual debris from the barrel of the soldier's musket when cleaning it. Every soldier had to carry one in order to keep the musket ready to use.


===Big Trouble in Glastonbury Abbey===

*READY FOR DUTY
EQUIPMENT COLLECTED


'''Description:'''  The Witnesses are on their way to Glastonbury, to thwart the plans of the Knights that are looking for Excalibur. When they are in sight of the abbey, something strange happens to the Simulation —a Glitch. Once the anomaly has passed, the Witnesses must stop Mordred, hoping nothing else goes wrong.
;Log
I joined the famous Minutemen at the encampment on Boston Common. There, under the command of Commander Bigelow, I gathered my gear and prepared to fight for the Patriot cause.


You leave Ravensthorpe at once, and you begin a long ride toward Glastonbury on the trail of the Descendants of the Round Table. Given how far they have come to retrieve the sword, putting an end to their plots has become a priority.
|-|Lanterns=
;A Light in the Dark
You are opposite the house of the renowned patriot Paul Revere. In 1775, during the British occupation of Boston, this spot was a hub of revolutionary sentiment. Learn from Patriot leader Joseph Warren how to signal with lantern light, in order to warn patriots about the movements of the British troops. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head through the streets around the house of Paul Revere.


The following day, as you cross the misty countryside of Albion, you hear a worried voice in your head: “Something is wrong! I don’t understand...”
;Historical details
Paul Revere was a Revolutionary soldier and express rider who transported important documents and messages during the war. \n \nOn the night of April 18th, 1775, in response to a coded message delivered by the light of two lanterns in the tower of Old North church, he undertook a perilous ride to Lexington with the news that the British soldiers stationed in Boston were about to march. The successful raising of the alarm proved pivotal, allowing the Revolutionary forces to prepare and to their subsequent victory at the battles at Lexington and Concord.


====Key Objectives====
;Instructions
<tabber>
Objective
|-|1 - SURVIVE THE GLITCH=
Joseph Warren and other revolutionary spies would send covert messages using the light and shadows cast by lanterns.  
The Witnesses find themselves caught in the middle of a Glitch. As they ride across the countryside, the sky is broken by dots of multicolored lights, and strange shapes appear among the clouds.
 
You are looking up, surprised by sudden flashes disrupting the blue sky above you. Suddenly, what can only be German war planes from WWII burst through the clouds and start firing at you! Ziggy’s voice fills your ears: “Bloody hell!”
 
'''Special:''' Until the Witnesses overcome the Survive the Glitch Objective, use the following Setbacks:
*FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)<br>Bullets fly. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*DESYNC GLITCH (MAJOR)<br>Something is definitely wrong with this memory block! The glitch in the simulation
erodes the Witness’ Synchronization, lowering the Sync level by 1.


;Challenges
Aligning the shadows
*''Machine gun burst''<br>German planes open fire on the Witnesses. Finding cover won’t be easy and requires a Reaction with 1 Raise.
Tap on a lantern to select it, then drag anywhere on the screen to rotate the shape in front of it. \n\nAlign the shadow until it forms a recognizable image.
*''Bomb''<br>One of the planes drops a bomb that explodes near the Witnesses, hurling shrapnel and earth in every direction.


After a brief moment of confusion, everything returns to normal. Ziggy’s voice resonates with reassurance, “It seems over now. I don’t understand what happened, but you shouldn’t have any more problems now... I hope.”
;What happens
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [1 Lantern Tap] ''Greetings Patriot, let's see if you've got what it takes to make it as a spy.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [1 Lantern Tap p2] ''We used lanterns like this to signal to Paul Revere that the British were coming in 1775.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [1 Lantern Tap p3] ''Patterns can be simple or more complex like these shadows. ''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [1 Lantern Solution] ''Well done. See if you can solve the others.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [2 Lantern Tap] ''Now try this one. It's a bit more difficult than the last.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [2 Lantern Solution] ''This sort of subterfuge is essential when conveying information without it being known. ''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [3 Lantern Tap] ''Remember, the work we do in the shadows is just as important as that on the battlefield.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [3 Lantern Solution] ''We used lanterns like this to signal to Paul Revere that the British were coming in 1775.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [3 Lantern Solution p2.] ''It was a simple trick, but with some fast riding it saved the day.''
*'''Joseph Warren:''' [4 Lantern Tap] ''Let's see how you handle this one. Good luck.''


You continue riding towards Glastonbury. Finally, the majestic abbey comes into view, the ominous emblem of Mordred adorning its sides.
;Outcome
*LANTERNS LIT
You have demonstrated your ingenuity and are learning the skills you would need as a spy working for the Revolution.\n\nSending messages will allow for the supporters of the Revolution to share vital information about the British plans and troop movements.


|-|2 - ENTER THE ABBEY=
;Log
The Witnesses must gain access to the abbey and defeat Mordred. There are many ways in. They could go straight to the front door, facing the majority of the knights right away. They could also climb to a window on the side or gain entry via the roof.
Under the guidance of Patriot Joseph Warren I learned how to send messages with lantern light in the tradition of Paul Revere.


Outside the building, some guards patrol the perimeter. As fire lights filter from the windows of the abbey, you can spot a window on the structure’s highest floor.
|-|Muskets=
;Fighting for Freedom
The British had left Boston by 1778, and this area of Boston Common then served as an encampment and training ground for the Patriot militias. Join the Militia recruits and practice using a musket for the coming battles. \n\nEnter revolutionary era Boston and head to the military training grounds.


;Challenges
;Historical details
*''Patrols''<br>The perimeter of the abbey is patrolled by three groups, each composed of a knight and a squire. The patrols fulfill their duties diligently, yet they have never had any trouble before, and are not particularly experienced. Therefore, any Stealth check made to complete this Challenge has 1 Free Raise.
Warfare during the Revolutionary war was defined by the musket. A complex weapon, it required loading by hand with powder, wadding, and ramrod - a slow process demanding extensive training to master. This training was also essential for developing the discipline and coordinated movement necessary for cohesion on the battlefield. \n\nThe musket's smooth, non-rifled barrel also made it highly inaccurate, meaning speed of fire mattered far more than precision. A well-trained British soldier could discharge four rounds a minute; most recruits, however, could manage only one or two, making rigorous training vital to the Revolutionary cause.
*''Guards''<br>At the entrance of the abbey, a pair of lackadaisical squires stand guard. Engrossed in an animated conversation, they discuss the ongoing sword quest undertaken by the knights. However, one of the squires, unconvinced of the sword’s purported magic, dismisses the entire endeavor as a futile waste of the knights’ time.


;Weaknesses
;Instructions
*''Challenge Mordred (major)''<br>One possibility to enter is to issue a formal challenge, appealing to the honor and reputation of Mordred. This will allow the Witnesses to enter the abbey and overcome any challenges needed. If this Weakness is exploited by the PCs, then the Reinforcements Setback is triggered and Alston the Black arrives to fight as Mordred’s champion (see Notable NPCs and Setbacks, below).
Objective
Members of the Massachusetts militia needed to learn how to use a musket by loading, aiming, and firing at the targets on the training grounds. Have a go!


|-|3 - DEFEAT MORDRED=
Loading
The Descendants of the Round Table intend to conquer all of Britain, and if they were to get hold of the Sword of Mars, they would become a truly unstoppable threat. Defeating their leader is the only way to stop them. ‘Mordred’ is actually a woman, Lady Elaine Pendragon.
After each shot, you must reload. \n\nTap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to prime your musket.


The abbey’s chambers abound with supplies and materials, likely acquired through recent raids. Intricate tapestries grace the interior walls, portraying a version of the Arthurian legend where Mordred takes center stage, underscoring the significance of this enigmatic cult.
Aiming
To aim your musket, move your device; staying still will make the circle get smaller. \n\nYour shot will hit somewhere randomly within the circle, getting the circle to be smaller will help increase your accuracy.\n


;Challenges
Firing
*''Defeat Mordred’s Chosen Knights''<br>These four heavily armored and highly skilled knights are Mordred’s defenders. Therefore, this Challenge requires at least 2 separate Approach checks to be overcome. Also, due to their combat prowess and coordination, any Action check made to oppose them in combat requires 1 Raise.
Tap on the screen to fire your musket.
*''Fight Mordred''<br>Lady Elaine is a formidable opponent, a true heir to not just because of her training but also because Isu blood courses through her veins. Therefore, any check made to overcome this Challenge requires 1 Raise.


;Weaknesses
Targets
*''Flames and Smoke (minor)''<br>Stealthily setting fire to supplies might draw most of the knights’ attention elsewhere. The building will also quickly fill up with smoke, making sneaking easier. Therefore, any Stealth check made inside the building has 1 Free Raise.
These are the targets you need to hit, there are four of each in total.


</tabber>
;Outcome
*Practice Complete
**Excellent shooting [good]/Good shooting [bad]
You have completed your musket practice - one of many skills vital to master as a member of the Massachusetts Militia.


Once Mordred is defeated, As the Witnesses make their way out of Glastonbury, Niamh intercepts Eivor with a determined look in her eyes:
;Log
Joining the Patriot Militia recruits I practiced using a musket on targets in the Boston Common. I was commended for my shooting and my preparedness for the coming battles.


”This sword is far too potent to risk it falling into the wrong hands,” she utters, her tone unwavering. “The Women of the Mists and I shall safeguard it, but I need you to aid in ensuring its protection.” With that, Niamh opens her hands, revealing the pommel of her sword. “Find a suitable location to hide this piece far from here.”
|-|Tea=
;A Tea Party
You are standing on the edge of the waterfront. Over the last 250 years, it has moved out, as during the Revolution it was further back. In 1773 and Boston was a powder keg of anger and revolutionary sentiment. Following a firebrand speech against the Stamp Act, join revolutionary John Spurr and throw British tea into the Harbor.\n\nEnter the docks of revolutionary era Boston and head to the waterfront.


Eivor’s gaze locks with Niamh’s, her features tense with mixed emotions. “You first snatched away my sword, and now you charge me with concealing this fragment? Bah. I plan to depart Albion soon and return to Paris. It will be a good place to find a secure hiding spot.”
;Historical details
The Boston Tea Party marked a critical moment in the history of the American Revolution as an act of colonial defiance against British rule.\n\nOn 16 December 1773, American colonists marched from the Old South Meeting House to Boston Harbor, where they threw 340 chests of tea owned by the British East India Company into the water, destroying them.\n \nInitially a protest against the tax on tea, levied without representation in the British Parliament, it soon came to be seen as one of the first sparks of the revolution that would engulf America.

The Boston massacre was a confrontation between a small contingent of British soldiers and a crowd of around 300 revolutionary supporters in which five protestors were killed and six were injured. The Boston government was determined to give the soldiers a fair trial so that there could be no grounds for retaliation from the British. \n\nJohn Adams, despite being a member of the Sons of Liberty and revolutionary supporter, defended the men at trial. The trial resulted in Thomas Preston, the senior British officer present, being acquitted after the jury was convinced he had not ordered his troops to fire. In the trial of his eight other soldiers involved six of them were acquitted while two, Matthew Kilroy and Hugh Montgomery, were found guilty on the offense of manslaughter and sentenced a reduced punishment of a branding of the thumb.

;What happens
*'''John Adams:''' ''Thank you for your help with this endeavor. Start by gathering the evidence we need.''
Evidence:
*Injured arm
**A physician stated that British Captain Preston's arm was damaged from a woodblock thrown during the riot and that, resultantly, he was unable to fire his gun.
*Carr's testimony
**One of the victims, American rioter Patrick Carr, who died later in the care of Dr. Jon Jefferies, said that he bore the soldiers no ill will and that he was satisfied that the soldier had no malice but fired to defend himself.
*Bloodied Coal
**It seems like the Revolutionary rioters were throwing more than just snowballs. This coal has blood from a soldier on it.
*Preston's coat
**There are gunshot burns on British Captain Preston's coat. He must've narrowly missed being shot by his men.
**[Adams' comment] These gunshot marks came from behind. Preston must've stood in front of his men when they fired.
*Soldier's hat
**It seems like this British soldier must have taken quite the blow to the head.
**[Adams' comment] Seems like Kilroy took a nasty blow to the head.
*[Jane] Whitehouse's testimony
**One of the eyewitnesses to the massacre stated that she saw British Captain Preston stand in front of his men.
*Mysterious man
**Jane Whitehouse, a civilian eyewitness, reported that a man who did not look like an officer came behind the soldiers and walked backward and forward, encouraging them to fire. She was positive the man was not British Captain Preston.
*Montgomery's account
**One of the British soldiers involved in the massacre stated that they were grabbed and were directly ordered to fire.
*Kilroy's account
**British soldier Kilroy stated that the soldiers only fired when the order was given.

==What’s Next?==
Retrieving the Sword of Mars marks the climax of this Storyline, but there are a multitude of possibilities for a Reader wishing to weave it into an ongoing campaign:
*'''Wield the Sword for the Brotherhood''': The Assassins may use the Sword of Mars as a powerful tool to bolster their efforts against the Templar Order. This could lead to exciting combat scenarios as they take the battle to the Templars.
*'''Deliver the Sword to the Grandmaster''': Alternatively, the Assassins may entrust the Sword to their Grandmaster for safekeeping or strategic planning. This could set the stage for further intrigue and political maneuvering within the Assassins’ ranks.
*'''Guardians of the Sword''': The Descendants might be assigned the crucial task of finding the most secure hiding place for the Sword, becoming its guardians rather than its wielders. This could lead to a quest to discover a hidden sanctuary or a secure vault to protect the powerful artifact.
 
=Champions of Eden=
A bloody trail of investigation leads the Descendants to a disturbing discovery: someone has taken possession of a powerful artifact attributed to Seth, the Egyptian god of violence and disorder — a powerful Isu of the First Civilization. Using the Piece of Eden, the villain has brought nightmares to life, similar to those created in the past by Seth himself: creatures of shadow that inspired some of humankind’s darkest and most frightening legends. Following the trail in the modern day, the characters have the chance to use Seth’s artifacts to thwart the villain’s plan, before he can bring the “Apophis Project” to completion.
 
In Chapter 1, the Descendants investigate strange killings at an Abstergo executive’s mansion in modern day London. The examination of the crime scene takes them to the genetic memories of an Ancestor operating in 19th-century Transylvania. After reliving a deadly confrontation with a monstrous vampire, whose power seems to come from a Ring of Seth – a peculiar, rare Isu artifact – the Descendants return to their investigation in the modern day.
 
In Chapter 2 the Descendants will have to relieve the Great New Orleans Fire of 1988 and follow more clues leading to the British Museum in London.
 
From there, entering Chapter 3, the PCs will be diving once again in the past, during the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, in order to assemble the pieces of a mosaic and reveal an image of the eternal battle between Seth and Apophis, until the final confrontation with the figure who’s been pulling the threads all along.
 
==Chapter 1. Blood Prints==
Dr. Zixuan Long is an archaeologist and researcher, who boasts extensive expertise in the Pieces of Eden. Employed by Abstergo Industries, Dr. Long’s fascination with Precursor relics and artifacts led him to discover a Staff of Eden probably belonging to Seth, the Egyptian god of chaos, desert, and storms (whose Isu origins have yet to be studied in any detail). In time, his interest in Seth’s mythical figure grew into an obsession, leading him to believe he had been chosen to fulfill a prophecy, and that he would eventually sail across the sky on the Boat of the Sun of Ra to deal with Apophis, the serpent god of darkness and disorder.
 
Delving deeper into his research, Dr. Long uncovered how the Staff was directly connected to other Pieces of Eden: a set of rings bestowed upon Seth’s so-called champions. Accessing secret archives and files, he discovered that two of these rings were already in the Order’s possession, kept in the private vault of a high Templar member named Aleksandr Omovich. Dr. Long contacted Omovich to organize a meeting in his villa, with the pretext of showcasing the recently discovered Staff of Seth and illustrating its connections with the two rings in Omovich’s custody.
 
Once there, Dr. Long was able to activate a ring, and by using its powers on an assistant he brought with him, he created his own champion. The assistant underwent an illusory transformation, gained superhuman powers, and carried out a dreadful massacre under the control of the staff wielded by Dr. Long.
 
===The Mansion Massacre===
'''Location:''' Holland Park, London, England
 
'''Description:'''  An odd incident at the private residence of Aleksandr Omovich — Abstergo executive and suspected Templar — has raised alarm within the Brotherhood, prompting the decision to dispatch a Crew of Assassins to investigate. An unknown assailant murdered the mansion’s private security guards and several members of the staff. What’s most unsettling is the manner in which some of the victims were killed: they were completely  exsanguinated.<br><br>The PCs are entrusted to carry out the investigations by none other than Gavin Banks, veteran Assassin and former leader of the Brotherhood in England. He tasks them with recovering the surveillance footage from the villa’s security systems, in order to find out what really happened.<br><br>A message left at a drone drop point recites:
 
{{IUNote|Text=Dear Assassins,<br><br>I trust this message finds you in good health and safety, as its content is of the utmost urgency.<br><br>Recent events at the mansion of one Aleksandr Omovich in Holland Park demand immediate investigation. He was an Abstergo high executive, doubtlessly a member of the Order. Given your proximity to the area, your cell has been  tasked with this crucial mission.<br><br>Disturbing reports refer to a nightmarish incident, with at least nine members of the house staff massacred, an unknown number of private security personnel, and Omovich himself counted among the victims. Even more unsettling is the claim of a homeless man interviewed by local news, who reported to have witnessed “the devil” leaving the villa and flying into the night.<br><br>Abstergo’s intensive efforts to suppress information about the incident are of the most significant concern. Still, the Police arrived before their squads for one time, and cordoned off the place to investigate the crime.<br><br>Now, I need you to recover the surveillance footage from the villa’s security systems and whatever will help us understand what happened. While you proceed with the investigation, I’ll reach your cell’s hideout. Meet you there.<br><br>P.S.: Exercise caution but act with swiftness, and always remember:<br><br>Nothing is true; everything is permitted.<br><br>G.B.}}
 
'''Special''' The Assassins must search for clues while evading Police surveillance. The following information can be found depending on their approach:
*''The Video'' The Police have already collected the footage from the mansion’s security system. The Crew’s only chance to get it is by stealing or copying it from the evidence repository located in the main hall of the mansion.
*''Eyewitness'' Rob is a respectable 57 year-old homeless man. Most of the time, he can be found feeding the koi carp in the Holland Park pond, night and day. The night of the assault his curiosity was aroused by the sound of gunshots and by the mansion’s alarm. When he got close to the villa, he witnessed something odd:
”A monster emerged from the big house late at night. I called the police, and when they came, they asked if I had filmed something. When I said yes, they took my phone. But they didn’t take this...” Rob takes out a pizza box, on which he drew a monstrous face with long, pointed teeth and red eyes – not exactly a realistic likeness…
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
<tabber>
|-|1 - ENTER THE VILLA=
|-|Caesar Glover=
The first goal of the Crew is to access Omovich’s residence without getting caught by the Police. There are multiple approaches to achieve this: for example, the PCs could use fake officer badges or forensic investigator disguises to enter by the front door or access the evidence repository area. Alternatively, they could turn the power off and make a swift entry through the rooftop or windows.
Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.<br><br>Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army’s first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington’s troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.


A crowd of cynical reporters and morbid onlookers surrounds the crime scene. Your mission is clear: enter the mansion without alerting the Police force guarding the perimeter. The options are many, and the success of the operation rests on your decisions.
|-|Nathan Hale=
Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution’s most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels. <br><br>Alongside George Washington’s spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army’s health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n


Looking at the villa, you note that you need to enter the garden first, then the building itself. The Police cordoned the place off, and Abstergo agents may be among the officers. You better keep your eyes wide open.
|-|Alexander Hamilton=
Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington’s trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King’s College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he’d joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.


;Challenges
|-|William Howe=
*''Do Not Cross''<br>The mansion is vast. A big garden surrounds a three-story building comprising dozens of rooms, multiple lounges, bathrooms, attics, and a basement. Several Police officers with dogs and equipped with tasers guard the perimeter (only a few might carry guns). They will stop anyone from entering the garden without a badge or permit. All Stealth checks made to cross the perimeter around the villa require 1 Raise.
William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army’s most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.
*''Inside the Villa''<br>Forensic investigators concentrate on their work inside the mansion. All Stealth checks made to move around the villa undetected require 2 Raises.


;Weaknesses
|-|Thomas Jefferson=
*''Spectators (minor)''<br>The importance of the owner of the villa has attracted lots of reporters and curious onlookers. Some of the Police officers are indeed busy keeping them away from the crime scene. The PCs can profit form the confusion, for example to plan a diversion allowing them to enter the garden undetected. In this case, the PCs overcome the Do Not Cross Challenge.
Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies’ break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n


|-|Marquis de Lafayette=
Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.


|-|2 - RETRIEVE THE ABSTERGO SURVEILLANCE VIDEO=
|-|Francis Lewis=
Once inside the villa, the PCs’ best chance of uncovering what happened within the mansion is to make their way to the evidence repository located in the main hall. There, they can access the mansion’s security footage. Most of the surveillance videos have already been transferred to the Police department, but the Crew may still be able to extract useful information from there.
Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779. <br><br>During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.


As you explore the villa, you can sense the tension among the forensic investigators. Traces of a horrifying event are evident everywhere. Bloodstains splatter walls and floors, while detectives meticulously collect samples. Here and there, deep claw marks mar the walls and expensive furniture. In the main hall, two police officers stand guard over the evidence repository.
|-|Hercules Mulligan=
Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome. <br><br>Mulligan is credited with saving Washington’s life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan’s reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.


;Challenges
|-|Isaac Sears=
*''Copy the Video''<br>The PCs are equipped with the tools they need to make a copy of the video. However, the procedure requires time, and they just can’t do it in front of the two Police officers standing guard. Convincing them to leave the room and let the PCs work unwatched is more than problematic. A compelling story may not be enough, even with the proper badge or disguise. Any Social check made to overcome this Challenge requires 2 Raises.
Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.
*''Steal the Video''<br>Attempting to steal the hardware containing the surveillance video requires a diversion.


;Weaknesses
|-|Anna Strong=
*''Department Transfer (minor)''<br>With all the coming and going of officers from different departments, there are too many faces to keep track of for the two Policemen standing guard in the main hall. By successfully pretending to be in charge of transferring the evidence to the Police station, the PCs may be able to get what they want — any Social check made to overcome the Copy the Video or Steal the Video Challenges requires only 1 Raise.
Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists. <br><br>Strong’s fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.


|-|George Washington=
George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

The video recording sends shivers down your spine. The chilling images would be easy to dismiss as fabricated if you hadn’t witnessed the aftermath firsthand. In the footage, a humanoid figure with blood-red eyes and a face twisted in rage mercilessly dispatches innocent staff members and private security guards one by one, using monstrous claws and fangs.

====Setbacks====
*''A SUSPICIOUS POLICE OFFICER (MINOR)''<br>A Police officer takes an interest in the PCs and starts requesting credentials and asking questions.
*''K9 (MINOR)''<br>A Police dog starts barking at one or more PCs for some reason. The targeted Descendants must make an Approach check to hide from the dog’s attention.
*''GENERAL ALARM (MAJOR)''<br>The intrusion attempt is discovered, and an alarm alerts every officer on the spot. For the rest of the scene, all Social and Stealth checks require 1 additional Raise. Also, at the end of any Stealth check, the PCs must make an additional Reaction check to avoid security.
 
====Notable NPCs====
;Gavin Banks
Gavin Banks is a former leader of the Assassin Brotherhood. Recently, he’s been stationed on the ship Altaïr II, closely monitoring global Assassin operations and maintaining active communication with cells worldwide.

====Sequence Hooks====
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “From Dusk Till Dawn.”
 
*'''More Questions (Modern Day)''': The PCs, determined to uncover more about the events that took place at the Omovich mansion, decide to interview one of the surviving staff members, currently under surveillance at St Thomas’ Hospital. Upon interrogation, the staff member discloses that a few weeks prior, two new Pieces of Eden were delivered to Omovich on direct orders from the Chief Researcher.
*'''The Black Cross (Modern Day)''': As the PCs trail the tracks left by the killer, they encounter a formidable obstacle: the Black Cross, Juhani Otso Berg, intercepts them. This formidable adversary of the Brotherhood isn’t here to engage in combat with the Descendants. Instead, he seeks to ascertain whether they are involved in the recent massacre or not. For more information on the Black Cross, see page 48 of the Animus Handbook.
*'''London Twilight (Simulation)''': The PCs investigate the creature captured on the surveillance footage. Their quest leads them back into the Animus, transporting them to a memory block set in London, in the year 1870. Here, they are confronted by a series of gruesome murders, all attributed to a supernatural culprit. The investigation leads them to a Wallachian nobleman, but before the Brotherhood can confront him, he manages to escape (see From Dusk Till Dawn, below).
 
===From Dusk Till Dawn===
'''Time Frame:''' Industrial Revolution
 
'''Location:''' Dracula’s Castle, Transylvania - 1870 CE
 
'''Description:'''  The Crew’s recent findings in the private residence of Aleksandr Omovich were extremely unusual. After extensive research through the Brotherhood’s archives and genetic memories, the Crew unearths a significant series of clues dating back to 1870. At that time, the Brotherhood came across something strikingly similar to the creature captured on the surveillance video. From the mist-shrouded streets of London, members of the Brotherhood journeyed to the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, in relentless pursuit of a nightmarish creature that had been spreading fear and death in its wake.
 
As the Animus initializes the new Simulation, your field tech’s voice becomes increasingly faint, rapidly overtaken by the loud sounds of the incoming environment. Just before the Simulation fully loads, you catch this: “... and hold on tight, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.”
 
Quite literal — You find yourselves each mounted on a horse, journeying along a rugged dirt road nestled amidst towering mountains. Ahead, a horse-drawn carriage carrying the creature you are pursuing races toward a foreboding, gothic castle. The frantic screams of his servants reverberate in your ears as they spur the horses onward, desperately striving to put some distance between you and their master.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
|-|1 - REACH THE CREATURE’S CARRIAGE=
As the Witnesses attempt to close the distance with the speeding carriage, they find themselves confronting the creature’s servants.
 
;Challenges
*''Fire!''<br>A mounted group of servants breaks away to assist their Master, brandishing their guns and firing at anyone attempting to approach the carriage.
*''Ramming''<br>The coachman rams the carriage into the Witnesses, knocking them from their horses. Every Witnesses must make a Reaction check.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Stop the Coachman (minor)''<br>If the Witnesses succeed in eliminating the coachman, one of the servants will grab the reins but can do little else but maintain control of the carriage. The Witnesses overcome the Ramming Challenge.
 
 
|-|2 - DEFEAT THE CREATURE=
Once the Witnesses manage to stop the carriage, they will have to face its occupant.
 
The carriage grinds to an abrupt halt just a short distance from the castle. In a blur of motion, the creature erupts from the vehicle with supernatural swiftness. Seething with rage, its cadaver-pale face contorted, it roars like a cornered beast. Its large grinning mouth reveals a pair of long, sharp canines. Lines of light intermittently run along its limbs, as if pulsating with a luminous and potent energy coursing through its body.
 
;Challenges
*''Mighty Foe''<br>The creature is a formidable adversary, capable of enduring blows that would incapacitate any ordinary opponent. Fighting it requires at least 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*''Lethal Blow''<br>The coup de grâce can only be delivered once the creature’s formidable defenses have been overcome. This requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Bloodthirsty (minor)''<br>The creature, cornered and wounded, is thirsty for blood. If the Witnesses can use its bloodlust to distract it, the next Approach check made by the Witnesses has 1 Free Raise.
 
</tabber>
 
As the creature crumples lifelessly to the ground, a radiant golden light envelops its form. Slowly, the monstrous visage begins to fade, revealing a normal human underneath. As the light fades completely, an unmistakably Isu-originated ring becomes visible on the dead man’s finger. To your horror, the body swiftly decomposes before your eyes, dissolving into nothing but ash.
 
As the Simulation fades away, the voice of Gavin Banks abruptly interjects, “So, a Piece of Eden caused the creature’s transformation? We must locate it and prevent Abstergo from reclaiming it!”
 
====Setbacks====
*''DIFFICULT TERRAIN (MINOR)''<br>The Witness moves across treacherous terrain. The next Approach check requires 1 additional Raise.
*''HYPNOTIC GAZE (MINOR)''<br>The Witness meets the creature’s gaze and, for a brief moment, they are lost in the oceans of time. The next Approach check made by the Witness requires 1 additional Raise.
*''SERVANTS FROM THE CASTLE (MAJOR)''<br>If this Setback is triggered, the following challenge must be added to both Key Objectives in the Sequence:
**''Protect the Master!''A group of servants armed with guns arrives to help their Master, shooting at anyone trying to harm him.
*''FEEDING (MAJOR)''<br>The creature sinks its fangs into one of the Witnesses or one of its servants, drawing blood and consuming it. As it does so, the wounds suffered by the creature regenerate, healing swiftly. If this Setback is triggered, the following challenge is added to the Defeat the Creature Key Objective:
**''Frenzy'' The creature fights with renewed ferocity. Therefore, this Challenge requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise in order to be overcome.
 
====Sequence Hooks====
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “The Wolf Among Us.”
 
*'''Dracula’s Origins (Simulation)''': The Witnesses, having retrieved the ring from the vanquished creature, scour his castle for clues. Despite the continued presence of the nobleman’s loyal servants, the castle’s halls reveal a treasure trove of secrets. Amidst ancient tapestries and well-preserved diaries, the Witnesses unearth vital information: Vlad III, the Voivode of Wallachia, received a ring from a mysterious figure. This ring bestowed upon him otherworldly powers to fight the Ottomans.
*'''Erudito (Modern Day)''': A contact from Erudito, an organization renowned for their expertise in knowledge and secrets (see page 56 of Assassin’s Creed - Animus Handbook), reaches out to the PCs. This contact offers valuable information regarding the recent events at the Omovich mansion. However, Erudito’s assistance comes at a price – they demand that the Assassins undertake a mission on their behalf in exchange for their aid.<br><br>If the Crew accepts this deal, they will be granted access to a video showing the activities at the mansion two weeks ago. In the footage, an unknown individual wielding an Egyptian staff is observed bestowing a mysterious ring upon a supplicant. The recipient willingly dons the ring, after which he seemingly undergoes a transformation into a vampire!
*'''Investigation (Modern Day)''': The PCs, determined to track the vampire, hack the extensive network of surveillance cameras scattered throughout the streets of London, or interrogate the various characters who were present in the area on the evening of the massacre. As they follow these breadcrumbs of evidence, the Descendants eventually piece together a trail leading them closer to the creature’s hidden lair.
 
===The Wolf Among Us===
'''Location:''' London, England
'''Description:'''  The Descendants have uncovered the true nature of the creature captured in the surveillance video from the Omovich mansion, and it is imperative that they locate it without delay. Following the trail leads them to an abandoned structure not far from the villa.
 
As a gentle rain begins to fall, the aroma of fried food drifts from a restaurant kitchen on the nearby street corner. Your gaze shifts to the large derelict building that signals the culmination of the trail left by the vampire.
 
The structure looms large, its windows shattered, and multiple floors collapsed, conveying an aura of desolation and abandonment.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
|-|1 - LOOKING FOR CLUES=
The PCs must venture into the abandoned building, whose ruinous state makes every movement potentially risky, to look for new clues about the vampire’s activities.
 
In their search for new clues about the vampire’s activities the PCs must brave the dilapidated interior of the abandoned building, where every step carries the risk of collapse or other dangers.
 
As you navigate through the treacherous interior of the structure, the pervasive scent of damp and mold permeates the air. Rain seeps in through shattered windows, creating a steady drip in various locations. Each step you take prompts a symphony of creaks, while small fragments of dislodged debris and glass shards rain down, echoing through the empty floors.
 
;Challenges
*''Jumping Across''<br>The PCs must ascend to an upper floor to advance further into the building. Unfortunately, the access to this level has crumbled away, leaving a daunting chasm in the place of the once-sturdy staircase. To reach the top, the PCs must make daring leaps across gaps and scramble across unstable platforms, relying on debris and cables to bridge the voids.
 
Suddenly, an immense piece of machinery crashes down from the uppermost floors, a loud clangor echoing through the building as it falls. As the machinery plummets, there’s just enough time to catch a glimpse of a silhouette lurking above, silently observing you.
 
*''What is That?''<br>The massive piece of machinery hurtles downward, aimed precisely at the location where the PCs stand. All PCs must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Expert (minor)''<br>A PC who is an expert at freerunning or climbing, and has the necessary equipment, will have no problem reaching the upper floors of the building. In this case, the PCs overcome the Jumping Across Challenge.
 
|-|2 - FIGHT THE WEREWOLF=
To their surprise, the Descendants find themselves facing an entirely different adversary.
 
As you swiftly dodge out of the path of the falling machinery, an unsettling growl resonates through the air, sending a shiver down your spine. Emerging from the shadows, a mass of fur and muscles takes shape. Standing more than seven feet tall on two legs, the creature is entirely covered in thick, dark fur. Similar to the vampire observed in the 1800s Simulation, bright, flashing symbols and lines adorn its body. With a visage bearing an uncanny resemblance to that of a wolf, it becomes evident that this is not the creature you were searching for. Before you can react, the werewolf lunges in your direction with primal fury!
 
'''Special:''' The werewolf hunts the PCs relentlessly, employing a hit-and-run tactic and leaping from one shadow to another. Any Approach check made to confront it requires 1 Raise.
 
;Challenges
*''Mighty Foe''<br>The creature is a formidable adversary, capable of enduring blows that would incapacitate any ordinary opponent. Fighting it requires at least 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*''Lethal Blow''<br>The coup de grâce can only be delivered once the creature’s formidable defenses have been overcome. This requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Eagle Vision (minor)''<br>Using the Eagle Vision skill allows a Witness to see precisely where the werewolf is, canceling any Raise required due to its stealth capabilities.
*''Loud Noise (minor)''<br>A well-timed flash grenade or powerful firecrackers could disorient the werewolf, temporarily disrupting its heightened senses and agility. This brief moment of disorientation would allow the PCs to launch a counterattack against the creature, effectively canceling any Raise required due to its stealth capabilities. It also overcomes the Mighty Foe Challenge.
 
</tabber>
 
Grievously wounded, the final strike lands upon the creature, sending it crashing to the floor. As you observe it breathing its last, the unstable floor beneath you gives way, collapsing into the void below. Both you and the fallen creature plummet into the darkness.
 
After the dust and rubble settle, you slowly rise to your feet. Your gaze returns to the fallen body, but it is not the werewolf that lies before you. Instead, you behold the lifeless form of a woman, her finger adorned with a strikingly familiar ring.
 
You arrived seeking answers, only to find yourself ensnared in a labyrinth of even greater mysteries. How many more of these monsters lurk in the shadows? Who crafted these strange Pieces of Eden, and to what end? Where is the vampire now? Above all, what fate awaits this newfound ring, and what secrets lie within its gleaming surface?
 
When you report in, Gavin Banks, slightly shaken by the unexpected turn of events, remarks, “Perhaps we’ll uncover some clues within the Animus. After all, the past doesn’t bite – well, not as frequently, at least.”
 
====Setbacks====
*''FALLING DEBRIS (MINOR)''<br>A piece of debris falls from the ceiling. The PC must make a Reaction check.
*''DIFFICULT TERRAIN (MINOR)''<br>The PC moves across treacherous terrain. The next Approach check requires 1 additional Raise.
*''FALL (MAJOR)''<br>A large section of the floor collapses beneath the PCs’ feet, plunging them into darkness. All PCs must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise to avoid being injured.
 
==Chapter 2. Painted in History==
With the assistance of their Assassin cell, the Descendants have uncovered that the ring found on the werewolf’s body matches with the genetic memory of a member of the New Orleans Brotherhood from the 1700s. The field technician has narrowed the search for points of contact with the Isu artifact to the year 1788. Beginning from this point, the Descendants can enter the Animus, explore the events of that era, and gather sufficient clues to guide them in the modern day. Their pursuit leads them to track down one of the Rings of Seth to the British Museum in London.
 
====Sequence Hooks====
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “Painted in History.”
*'''Swamps and Whispers (Simulation).''' Reports of a mysterious predator terrorizing livestock at night and grisly murders in the swamps of New Orleans have reached the Brotherhood’s ears. A Voodoo Queen is spreading rumors about the presence of a Rougarou in the bayou – a creature that is part-human, part-wolf, and said to be the eternal guardian of an ancient Voodoo circle constructed from the bones of a demon. This circle is rumored to be hidden beneath the lands of the old natives. The Brotherhood must delve into the origins of these legends and ascertain whether an authentic Isu artifact is involved in the recent events.
*'''Before They Are Hanged (Simulation).''' New Orleans residents are in a frenzy over the “monster of the bayou,” accusing anyone without an alibi or strong community ties of being responsible for the night’s massacre. Spanish Governor Esteban Miro and his soldiers exacerbate the situation by carrying out summary executions of the accused in an effort to maintain calm. As a result, one or more of the Brotherhood’s most trusted allies are on the brink of being hanged. The Witnesses must intervene to help them escape and uncover the true culprit behind the deaths.
*'''Templar Investigations (Simulation)'''. The Brotherhood is probing the suspected Templar ties of Don Vicente Jose Nunez, paymaster of the city army in New Orleans. Yet, for the third time in succession, their subject of interest has been discovered deceased before they could initiate interrogation. It appears that another party is swiftly eliminating Templar affiliates before the Brotherhood can act.
 
===Howling at the Fire===
'''Time Frame:''' American Revolutionary War
 
'''Location:''' New Orleans, Louisiana, North America - 1788
 
'''Description:''' Over the past few weeks, a wave of brutal murders has hit the city of New Orleans, casting a shadow over its streets. Initially, the killer targeted traders at the city’s outskirts and smugglers operating in the nearby swamps. However, the violence has since escalated dramatically. Now, entire units of Spanish soldiers are discovered lifeless in the city’s dimly lit alleys at dawn. The morning mist carries the echoes of screams, gunshots, and chilling howls, serving as the only witnesses to the victims’ tragic demise.<br><br>Townsfolk are whispering of a nocturnal terror, a creature straight out of legend: the Loup Garou (or Rougarou). The Witnesses’ investigations have unveiled unsettling truths: the killer cannot be human. The tracks they discovered suggest a wolf-like creature walking upright on two feet. However, most of its victims have connections to illicit trades, and a tenuous web links them to Don Vicente Jose Nunez, paymaster of the city army and suspected Templar.
 
It’s a clear night as you approach Don Vicente Jose Nunez’s private residence on Chartres Street near St. Louis Cathedral, intending to investigate his suspected connections with the Templars. A strong wind blows from the south, an ominous sign over New Orleans. Exiting a narrow alley onto a wider main street, you suddenly find yourselves engulfed by smoke, and panicked screams echo in the distance.
 
As you reach your destination, you are met with a scene of utter pandemonium. Flames from the municipal building, barracks, and armory cast the night sky in a fiery orange hue. Civilians flee in terror, while Spanish soldiers rush to the various locations.
 
A window shatters, and a hulking, shadowy figure hurtles onto the street. A grotesque, wolf-like humanoid emerges: the Loup Garou! Despite being out of breath and severely burned, the creature looks directly at you, and for a fleeting moment, you discern a distinctly human expression in its eyes. Its unspoken message is clear: it harbors no ill intent towards you. Before you can react, a group of Spanish soldiers opens fire, targeting both you and the creature! The Loup Garou reacts swiftly, but a few bullets tear through its thick hide, eliciting a pained howl as it leaps onto a nearby rooftop to escape.
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
<tabber>
|-|1 - TAIL THE LOUP GAROU=
|-|Birch=
The Witnesses must pursue this mysterious beast to find the answers they’re looking for: is it a real monster? What lies behind the local legends surrounding it? Do its powers stem from a curse, magic, or perhaps, more likely, a Precursor artifact?
;Passing Judgment
You are at Fraunces Tavern. In 1783, as the war came to an end, a joint British and American commission overseen by Brigadier General Birch convened here to review the claims of Black Loyalist ex-slaves seeking freedom and evacuation with the British Army. Boston King was one of these ex slaves. In this memory he presents his case to the panel to obtain a certificate of freedom.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head from City Hall towards Fraunces Tavern.


The fire spreads swiftly, casting eerie shadows across the cobblestone streets and morphing them into a hellish labyrinth. The air is thick with the acrid scent of burning wood and scorched stone, while a strong wind whips up ember spirals into the air, casting an esoteric glow on the panicked civilians. Amidst the turmoil, the available soldiers attempt to maintain order, but the blaze defies their efforts. Alerted by the initial shots, additional militia swarm in, determined to hunt down “the monster” amidst the chaos.
;Historical details
In 1783, as the British prepared to evacuate New York at the end of the Revolutionary War, the city became the site of a tense and historic reckoning. During the conflict, British commanders had promised freedom to enslaved people who escaped Patriot owners and joined their lines, and thousands sought refuge in British occupied New York. <br><br>When peace was declared, American officials demanded the return of formerly enslaved people under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. To address the crisis, British authorities convened hearings at Fraunces Tavern, overseen by Brigadier General Samuel Birch. There, formerly enslaved Black Loyalists petitioned to prove they had served the British cause and were entitled to evacuation. These proceedings, later called the Birch trials, required testimony about military service and escape. Those who qualified had their names entered into what became known as the Book of Negroes and were granted passage to Nova Scotia and other parts of the British Empire. <br><br>More than 3,000 ultimately departed New York under British protection. For many, the evacuation marked the beginning of a new and uncertain chapter, but it also represented one of the earliest large scale emancipations in American history, unfolding in the final days of British rule in the city.


;Challenges
;Instructions
*''Rooftop Chase''<br>The creature’s agility and speed are supernaturally astounding. It effortlessly scales the walls of buildings, leaps across rooftops, and seemingly vanishes into the swirling smoke. The Loup Garou appears impossible to catch, but the Witnesses must keep sight of it. Any Approach check made to keep track of the werewolf requires 1 additional Raise.
Objective
*''Through the Fire''<br>The streets are a bedlam of flaming barriers, collapsed beams, and falling debris. The deadly dance of flames makes each step a perilous gamble. As long as they remain in the burning neighborhood, at the end of an Approach check, the Witnesses must make an additional Reaction check to navigate the treacherous terrain.
During the Birch Trials, the board evaluated the case for emancipation of ex-slaves. <br><br>Present Boston King's case by showing the needed evidence
*''Militia Hunt''<br>The Spanish troops hunt the beast through the panic-stricken streets. Witnesses might be forced to engage them in combat or use their stealth skills to avoid their watchful eyes and trigger-happy nature.


;Weaknesses
Questions
*''Target Locked (minor)''<br>Using the Eagle Vision skill, a Witness can effortlessly keep track of the Loup Garou even through the thick layer of smoke. The Witness has 1 Free Raise on any Approach check made to overcome the Tail the Loup Garou Challenge.
The officer will ask you questions. You need to provide the right piece of evidence to answer him.
*''Controlled Demolition (minor)''<br>During the pursuit, the Witnesses may find opportunities to sabotage structures, causing them to collapse and impeding the progress of the soldiers chasing them and the Loup Garou. In this case, the Witnesses overcome the Militia Hunt Challenge.

|-|2 - SAVE THE PIECE OF EDEN=
;What happens
The chase eventually guides the Witnesses to a Hopewell site’s mound nestled between the Mississippi River and the swamps southwest of the city. Within the cave beneath it, the illusory aspect of the Loup Garou shifts to that of a man. He lies mortally wounded, wearing a gleaming and mysterious ring: an Isu artifact, a Ring of Eden. Before the Witnesses can celebrate their discovery, a group of Templars burst into the cave.
*'''British Officer:''' [start] ''Good day, Boston King. I hope you are keeping well in these trying times. These trials are intended to enable us to demonstrate your suitability to receive a Certificate of Freedom. The certificate will give you passage to Nova Scotia and a new life. There are three questions to address. Let us begin.''


The Hopewell site’s mound, situated between the river and the swamp, is a sacred sanctuary. A hole in the exposed earth, once concealed by now-torn vegetation, leads you to a cave beneath the mound itself. The cavern walls are adorned by ancient petroglyphs. One image portrays a strange animal-headed figure with a long, arched nose offering a spherical object to a Native, who then undergoes a transformation into a wolf-headed warrior. Another scene depicts this wolf-warrior engaged in battle with Conquistador invaders, while yet another portrays it combating red-jacketed soldiers.
Evidence:
*Pay Records
**[Details] I managed to keep hold of my pay records despite the chaos of the war. Hopefully this will help.\n-\nCharles Town, the 1st Day of August, 1782 Received of the Paymaster of His Majesty’s Forces, the sum of Eight Shillings, being one week’s pay for Boston King, a Negro man employed with the troops in military duty and camp service. \nThe said Boston King having come within the British Lines and since served with the Army, is to receive the above allowance, or the equivalent in provisions, clothing, or other necessaries, as available. \nSigned, Deputy Paymaster\n
**[Boston King comment] These are my pay records from the army.
*Letter from Captain Grey
**[Details] I was given this letter from Captain Grey who I served under in the New York Volunteers.\n-\nI do hereby certify that Boston King, a Negro man, having formerly come within the British Lines in South Carolina, hath for some time served with me in the New York Volunteers, and hath conducted himself with fidelity and good behavior. \nGiven under my hand this fifteenth day of October, 1783. \nCaptain Grey, New York Volunteers\n
**[Boston King comment] I was given this letter from Captain Grey.
*A Herbal Remedy
**[Details] Using powdered yarrow root to help cuts and wounds heal was something that my mother taught me. She was so knowledgeable about herbal remedies having learned from the Native Americans in South Carolina. <br><br>Her literacy and love of learning have been a constant inspiration and I hope one day to be able to write an account of my life.
**[Boston King comment] I carried herbal remedies like this throughout the war.
*My British Uniform
**[Details] Though I started out as a servant to the British officers it wasn't long before I found myself in the uniform of the brave New York Volunteers. <br><br>As a former slave, I was often assigned the most dangerous missions. It was in 1781 when I was sent alone to gather reinforcements when my battalion was under siege at Nelson’s Ferry. I narrowly avoided capture and returned to a hero's welcome.
**[Boston King comment] This is my uniform from the New York Volunteer British regiment.
*Dunmore's Proclamation
**[Details] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me freedom in exchange for the service that I have given as a Loyalist.<br><br>I was a young man when Loyalist forces seized Charlestown in May 1780 and I determined to throw myself into the hands of the English. They received me readily, and I began to feel the happiness of liberty. The impact of the Proclamation has been huge, 500 slaves left the day it was made and over 5,000 have since done so.
**[Boston King comment] Dunmore's Proclamation promises me my freedom.
*My Carpenters Tools
**[Details] I was 16 years old when I first apprenticed to a carpenter. He treated me very cruelly, and I was subject to frequent beating whenever a tool was misplaced. I was fortunate that my previous owner heard of my hardships and came to speak to him about my treatment.<br><br>The skills I learned there, no matter how unpleasantly, have enabled me to work for the British and the cause of my own Liberty\n
**[Boston King comment] These are the tools I used when I was a slave.


You discover the Loup Garou lying at the center of the cavern, mortally wounded. A radiant light engulfs the fallen figure before your eyes, causing its appearance to swiftly revert to that of a human. As the glow dissipates, a ring of unmistakable Isu origin gleams on the dead man’s finger. Moments later, his body begins to disintegrate, turning to ash in mere moments.
*'''British Officer:''' [1st question] ''What proof can you bring that you were in His Majesty’s Service or Loyal to the Crown and its officers?''
*'''British Officer:''' [1st answer] ''Very good. Your service in the British Army is ample evidence.''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd question] ''Have you evidence to confirm your arrival at his Majesty's garrison prior to November, 1782?''
*'''British Officer:''' [2nd answer] ''Yes, that pay record demonstrates when you were serving.''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd question] ''Can you show that you are not known to be a man of bad behavior?''
*'''British Officer:''' [3rd answer] ''Captain Grey clearly declares you of good character.''


”Muchas gracias, assassins.” A hand clap and a voice with a heavy Spanish accent catch you by surprise. “Once again, you have done the dirty work for us: killed the beast and found the artifact.” A troop of Templar soldiers, led by a visibly burnt and injured Don Vicente Jose Nunez, stands at the entrance of the cave with nothing but cruel intentions. “Por favor, hand it over – and I might decide to spare your pathetic lives.”
*'''British Officer:''' [Some wrong] ''I think that's just enough evidence to get that certificate.''
*'''British Officer:''' [All correct] ''Congratulations Sir. Your service qualifies you for a Certificate of Freedom.''


;Challenges
;Outcome
*''Templar Assault''<br>The Witnesses must defend themselves and the artifact from the Templar ambush. The soldiers are equipped with deadly weapons and are formidable opponents even for an Assassin. Defeating them requires at least 2 separate Approach checks.
*Certificate of Freedom
*''The Templar Must Die''<br>The army paymaster, Don Vincente Jose Nuñez, has confirmed that he’s a prominent figure of the Templar Rite in New Orleans. The Witnesses cannot let him take the Ring of Eden, but must also end his vile life.
In September 1783, Boston King was declared free and forever emancipated by order of Sir Guy Carleton. He was permitted to depart with the Black Loyalists for Nova Scotia.  


;Weaknesses
;Log
*''Secret Passageway (minor)''<br>There is a hidden passageway leading out of the cave, which might be used to exit the mound without going through the Templar troop. With a successful Wits check with 1 Raise or by activating the Eagle Vision skill, the Witnesses can find the secret exit and overcome the Templar Assault Challenge. However, since the Witnesses would expose their flank while escaping this way, the Flying Bullets Setback is automatically triggered, and all characters’ Reaction checks require 1 additional Raise. Also, if this Weakness is exploited before overcoming the The Templar Must Die Challenge, all Witnesses lose 1 Sync level.
I presented my case to the Birch trials panel at Fraunces Tavern.\nI obtained a certificate of freedom and was able to leave with the evacuating British.

;Defending the Hudson
Near this spot, in 1776 the Battery fortifications overlooked the Hudson. At the time, American forces had taken control of New York, and the British Navy blockaded the harbor. Join the soldiers at the Battery under the command of Rufus Putnam, man the cannon, and do what you can to stop the British ships coming up the river. <br><br>Enter the revolutionary era Battery fort and take up your position at a cannon.


With the Piece of Eden finally in your hands, you ponder its connection to the struggles in New Orleans during the turbulent days of the American Revolution. As you leave the mound, mysteries abound, and the ancient symbols adorning the cavern walls seem to whisper secrets buried in the annals of time.
;Historical details
By the summer of 1776, revolutionary forces controlled Manhattan, but the harbor told a different story. Hundreds of British ships filled New York Harbor, carrying tens of thousands of soldiers in the largest amphibious invasion of the eighteenth century. <br><br>General George Washington had cannons dragged into position near here to stop the British ships. On October 17, lookouts spotted HMS Phoenix and HMS Rose pushing up the Hudson. American batteries opened fire, but the ships broke through with little damage. Panic spread across the city, and Washington’s supply and communication lines were suddenly exposed. The Revolution in New York began not with victory, but with uncertainty and fear, as the city became the central battleground of the war.


”I think that’s it, guys.” The voice of Gavin Banks resonates in your ears as the simulation starts to disintegrate before your eyes until all you can see is the empty memory corridor. Once you’re all disconnected from the Animus, the field technician shows you an image of the simulation cave on the main screen of the workstation. “Those pictograms – pretty peculiar, right? I’ll see if I can find something similar somewhere… or some-when! Until then, take a rest. Good job guys!”
;Instructions
Objective
Under the command of Rufus Putnam, you must man a cannon at the Battery and shoot the British ships as they attempt to sail up the Hudson River.


====Setbacks====
Aiming and Firing
*''FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)''<br>Bullets start flying. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
Drag the slider at the bottom of the screen to aim the cannon.<br><br>Tap the fire button to fire.
*''SMOKE (MINOR)''<br>Smoke fills the air, making the Witnesses’ eyes water and causing difficulty breathing. For the rest of the scene, all Wits checks require 1 additional Raise.
*''COLLAPSE (MAJOR)''<br>A big chunk of masonry, a section of rooftop or the cave ceiling collapses. All Witnesses must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise to avoid being injured.
*''ON FIRE! (MAJOR)''<br>The Witnesses’ clothing is set alight. Until they extinguish the flames, all their Approach checks require 1 additional Raise.


====Sequence Hooks====
Reloading
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “Hackney Diamonds.”
After each shot, you must reload. Tap on the screen when the triangle touches the bar to load, then repeat to ram and prime the cannon.


*'''Present-day New Orleans (Modern Day).''' The PCs journey to New Orleans to witness the Hopewell mound’s petroglyphs firsthand. Upon arrival, they may locate the site within a nature reserve or be directed to a local museum dedicated to preserving such relics and paintings. While exploring, they may uncover numerous references to ancient Egyptian culture, sparking their curiosity and prompting a return visit to the British Museum in London for further investigation.
;What happens
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [Start] ''Stand and ready your guns. The Phoenix will come from the left!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first shot] ''If they get past our fortifications, they will be able to cut our supply and communication lines.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [first reload] ''Take your time and make the shots count. America is watching your aim!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [second ship] ''Look to your left, there is the Rose. Focus on her and aim for the waterline!''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [third ship] ''There is another on the left! We're cutting them up, but I'm not sure it's going to be enough.''
*'''Rufus Putnam:''' [ships out of view] ''Good shooting. Hopefully the batteries further upriver will be able to finish the job.''


*'''Visiting Hours (Modern Day).''' The PCs visit the British Museum to inspect it firsthand: they scrutinize the sarcophagus and ring up close, survey CCTV cameras, identify access points into the building, and note other security devices. Additionally, they may attempt to stealthily infiltrate the administrative offices to search for the list of security guards, examine duty rotas, and assess security systems.
;Outcome
*Hudson Breached!
Despite your efforts, the British ships have broken through and sailed up the Hudson. The batteries further up the river will have to stop them now.


*'''Different Monsters (Simulation).''' The PCs’ technician discovers records of another close encounter with a werewolf in the Brotherhood database. Although incomplete and cryptic, the entry includes a DNA sample. Intrigued, the PCs enter a simulation that transports them back to ancient times, to the lands that gave rise to the Roman Kingdom. They venture into the swamps surrounding Rome and discover an Isu Vault hidden among the murky waters. Within the vault, they encounter a bloodthirsty lycanthrope, adding a thrilling and perilous twist to their journey. Eventually, they realize the Piece of Eden that transformed the werewolf in this case has nothing to do with the Rings of Seth they are looking for.

===Hackney Diamonds===
|-|House=
'''Location:''' British Museum, London, England
;Colonial House
Not far from here, in 1781, British officers were billeted in the grand houses lining Broadway during the occupation of New York. Join Washington's Culper Spy Ring and use your role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the war.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head down revolutionary era Broadway towards a British occupied house.


'''Description:''' Following the tracks uncovered during the events in post-revolution New Orleans, the PCs’ field technician finds a promising lead. An Egyptian sarcophagus, unearthed in 1932 in the Valley of the Kings, bears decorations strikingly similar to the first pictogram glimpsed in the mound cave in 1788. The artwork depicts the god Seth presenting a spherical object to a person, who subsequently undergoes a transformation into a mummy-like creature.<br><br>The sarcophagus, which has been preserved in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo for decades, has recently been loaned to the British Museum as part of a new exhibition. Upon seeing it firsthand, the PCs realize that the animal-headed humanoid depicted on the cave wall was indeed Seth, the Egyptian god of chaos. However, it remains a mystery how a representation of Seth ended up in a cave in North America. Nevertheless, this discovery proves to be a significant lead for the PCs — Sometimes, fortune smiles upon the Assassins.
;Historical details
Between 1776 and 1783 New York became a center of espionage! The most famous American spy network, known as the Culper Ring, reported directly to George Washington and relied on informants across the region.  British officers were often billeted in private homes, living alongside civilian families, which blurred the line between public war and private life. While American men such as the merchant and tailor Hercules Mulligan played important roles, much of the intelligence gathering depended on women, both free and enslaved, whose daily work allowed them to move through the city with less suspicion. <br><br>Domestic labor placed women in kitchens, parlors, markets, and streets where British officers spoke openly. They could observe troop movements, overhear conversations, and quietly pass along information through coded messages and trusted couriers. In a city filled with checkpoints and patrols, ordinary routines became acts of resistance. In occupied New York, intelligence gathered inside homes and boarding houses helped shape Washington’s decisions and influence the course of the war.


You can see a quarter moon peeking from behind a cloud through the large windows at the end of the hall. According to your plan, the security cameras of the British Museum have shut down, granting you at least a few minutes to move about undetected. The curious depiction of Seth and the mummy gazes back at you from the side of the ancient sarcophagus. In a display case in front of it stand the only two items found inside: a ring and a golden khopesh.
;Instructions
Objective
Agent 355, a member of Washington's Culper Ring, secretly gathered information on the British for the Revolution. <br><br>Search through the house and carefully gather important military intelligence from amongst the soldiers' items.


A scream suddenly tears the silence apart as a security guard is thrown against the display case, smashing it and sending the khopesh, ring, and broken glass flying. The guard’s torchlight rolls on the ground, revealing a menacing silhouette with clawed hands and vivid blood-red eyes standing ready to pounce. It’s the terrible figure you have encountered before – its canines leave no doubt: it’s the vampire!
Detection
Your presence must go unnoticed. Avoid creaky floorboards and don't spend too long in the room, or suspicion will grow.\nWatch the suspicion indicator on your screen. If it fills up, it will be too dangerous to continue and the mission will end.


====Key Objectives====
Crucial Intel
<tabber>
Tap on highlighted items around the room to inspect them.<br><br>Review the information and only take relevant intel as each piece you take will raise your suspicion meter.
|-|1 - HEIST WITH THE VAMPIRE=
As the Descendants attempt to get a closer look at the sarcophagus, the vampire launches a sudden attack. The Crew must defend themselves while simultaneously trying to seize the ring and make their escape.


The creature moves with tremendous speed and assaults you with merciless fury. While the security cameras remain offline, you are uncertain if breaking the display glass triggered a silent alarm. You may have even less time than you originally thought, not to mention facing a vampire in a situation you hadn’t anticipated.
;What happens
Items:
*Fuel request
This letter details the problems of getting suitable firewood. Soldiers sent out of the city to source it were ambushed by revolutionary troops. The letter contains a request to requisition additional supplies for the stores as the weather grows colder.<br><br>This is proof of the effectiveness of our current strategy.
*Troop distribution
This is a dispatch detailing the movement of several hundred soldiers from the city to the Caribbean to deal with unrest there. <br><br>The weakening of the defenses in New York could prove essential intelligence for General Washington and his aim of retaking the city.
*Pass to New York
This is an official military pass granting the bearer the ability to leave the city and travel through the checkpoints in the surrounding area. <br><br>With the city under the control of the British Army, all movement of people in and out is carefully controlled - this could be a great help to our spies in the city.
*Map of Westpoint
This is a military plan of our defenses at West Point. It shows the defenses and the chain used to obstruct British navigation of the Hudson. <br><br>This may be normal planning, but it could also signal that General Washington is correct and the British do plan to attack!
*Rivingtons paper
Ha, it's not surprising that they are reading the Royal Gazette. <br><br>Rivington is nothing more than the King's mouthpiece and I'm sure these soldiers lap up his lies.
*A shopping list
Tobacco, soap, leather blacking, claret, new stockings...  <br><br>This is nothing more than the shopping list of one of the officers. We'll not gain any insights from this.
*A letter home
I hope the house is faring well. Please send my kind respects to my loving Wife & Child and all Enquiring friends... <br><br>A letter home from one of the officers here will not help us. I hope he can deliver it in person when he departs!


;Challenges
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [QuarterDetection] ''... well personally I don't think they have much of a chance. They're farmers, not soldiers ...''
*''Mighty Foe''<br>The creature is a formidable adversary, capable of enduring blows that would incapacitate any ordinary opponent. Fighting it requires at least 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [HalfDetection] ''... it's not really about Liberty, it's simply the question whether the colonies shall or shall not be subject to the legislature of Great Britain ...''
*''Lethal Blow''<br>The coup de grâce can only be delivered once the creature’s formidable defenses have been overcome. This requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [ThreeQuarterDetection] ''... it's a tragedy that we must sacrifice so many brave lives, in order to put an end to such an unnatural rebellion ...''


;Weaknesses
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [Noise 1] ''What was that?''
*''Bloodthirsty (minor)''<br>The creature is thirsty for blood. If the PCs can use its bloodlust to distract it, the next Approach check has 1 Free Raise.
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [Noise 2] ''Did you hear something?''
*'''Muffled British Officers:''' [Noise 3] ''My ears must be playing tricks on me.''


The vampire falls to the ground, exhausted by your combined attacks. Once again, in the familiar glow, the monster’s body reverts to that of a woman who lies gasping for breath at your feet. “Doc… Doctor Zixuan Long… commands us with th… the Staff… Seth… Apophis,” he gasps out before taking his last breath. On his finger, the Ring of Eden glimmers in the darkness of the large room.
*'''Agent 355:''' [Start] ''I'm going to need to be as silent as the grave or I might just end up in one.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [Floorboard] ''I need to watch out for creaky floorboards!''
*'''Agent 355:''' [useless intel] ''I'm not sure this is going to help us win the war.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [Good intel] ''That's exactly what we need. With this Washington will be able to outwit them all.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [end] ''I can't risk anything more, or they are sure to find me.''
*'''Agent 355:''' [End all gathered] ''I think I've found everything of use!''


|-|2 - ESCAPE PLAN=
;Outcome
With no time to waste, the Descendants spring into action as the security cameras reactivate and the alarm begins blaring. Knowing that security guards and local law enforcement are on their way, the PCs must swiftly find a discreet exit to evade capture, pursuit, or being identified.
*Intel Gathered
This is the intel vital for the revolutionary cause. Gathered from under the noses of the British Officers.


;Challenges
;Log
*''Security Cameras''<br>The newly reactivated surveillance cameras are ready to capture the PCs’ every move. Escaping the structure undetected requires at least 3 separate Stealth checks with 1 Raise.
Working for Washington's Culper Spy Ring I used my role working in one of these houses to secretly gather information that could help the Revolution.
*''Security Guards''<br>The alarm quickly sends armed security guards racing to the PCs’ location. Engaging in combat with them is one option, however, if the Descendants want to stay true to the first tenet of the Creed (“Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent”) any Action check made to overcome this challenge requires 1 additional Raise.


;Weaknesses
|-|Escaping=
*''Fire and Water (minor)''<br>If the PCs are quick to act and daring enough to risk damage to priceless historical artifacts, they can trigger the emergency sprinklers, thus hindering the security personnel by decreasing visibility and movement. In this case, any Approach check made to overcome the Security Cameras and Security Guards Challenges doesn’t require any additional Raise.
;Escaping Brooklyn
*''The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors (minor)''<br>If the PCs use the Rings of Seth to transform, the guards on site are so terrified that they would rather flee than face them. In this case, the Descendants overcome the Security Guards Challenge.
The remnants of Washington's forces landed near here in 1776, after a devastating defeat on Long Island, having evaded the British navy and escaped under the cover of darkness. Crew a ship carrying Caesar Glover and his soldiers, in order to help them evacuate before it is too late.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York to guide the ship back to harbor.


</tabber>
;Historical details
In August 1776, nearly 9,000 soldiers evacuated Manhattan in small boats. The Revolution had nearly collapsed. British forces overwhelmed the Continental Army on Long Island in the largest battle of the war. By August 29, George Washington and thousands of soldiers were trapped in Brooklyn, pinned against the East River with the Royal Navy blocking escape. If the army were captured, the rebellion might end before it had truly begun. <br><br>As night fell, a daring plan took shape. Under cover of darkness and aided by a thick fog that rolled in before dawn, soldiers began evacuating across the river in small boats. Experienced mariners from the region, including White, Black, and Native seafarers, quietly ferried troops to Manhattan while British warships sat unaware in the harbor. All night long, men, horses, and supplies crossed the water in near silence. <br><br>By morning, thousands of soldiers had escaped without detection. It was not a battlefield victory, but it was decisive. The survival of Washington’s army ensured that the Revolution would continue, and New York became the setting for one of the war’s most dramatic escapes.


Out of breath and no less shaken, you manage to distance yourselves from the British Museum long enough to take a break. In your hands, you hold the second Ring of Eden, an artifact seemingly linked to the murders at the Omovich mansion, the monsters that have wreaked havoc in London, and the Egyptian deity Seth. Yet, there is something much larger concealed beneath a veil of mystery, beyond which lies a path barely visible.
;Instructions
Objective
The Continental Army and Caesar Glover escaped Brooklyn. <br><br>Navigate to the highlighted area on the Manhattan docks without being detected.


====Setbacks====
Steer the ship by drawing a circle on your screen to rotate the wheel. Drag the sail bar up or down to control speed.
*''HYPNOTIC GAZE (MINOR)''<br>The PC meets the creature’s gaze, and for a brief moment, they are lost in the oceans of time. The next Approach check made by the PC requires 1 additional Raise.
*''LAW ENFORCEMENT (MAJOR)''<br>Police officers enter the museum. If this Setback is triggered, the following challenge is added to the Escape Plan Key Objective:
**''Run'' Evading capture and safely exiting the premises requires at least 2 different Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*''FEEDING (MAJOR)''<br>The creature sinks its fangs into one of the Witnesses or one of the security guards, drawing blood and consuming it. As it does so, the wounds suffered by the creature regenerate, healing swiftly. If this Setback is triggered, the following challenge is added to the Heist with a Vampire Key Objective:
**''Frenzy'' The creature fights with renewed ferocity. Therefore, this Challenge requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise in order to be overcome.


==Chapter 3. Rest in Pieces==
Detection 

Back at the cell’s hideout, the Descendants are greeted by Gavin Banks, who congratulates them on the successful recovery of the third piece of what he calls the “Rings of Seth”. Meanwhile, the technician meticulously examines the new artifact, cross-referencing it with the Brotherhood’s database to identify any additional connections between these Rings and the Assassins of the past.
On the left of your screen is a detection meter that will begin to fill if you are spotted. <br><br>Avoid detection by the British ships by steering away from their search lights or by hiding in the clouds of fog.


According to Banks, if the vampire was at the British Museum, this Zixuan Long surely knows something more than the Brotherhood, yet not so much as to have an insurmountable advantage. To maintain equilibrium or regain lost ground, the Assassins must act swiftly.
;What happens
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [Start] ''Take the utmost care. If the British see us, they will be on us in a moment. We will need both our wits and bravery to make it over. Good luck.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [quarterProgress] ''We are fortunate that it is so dark. The British can scarcely discern a man at six yards distance tonight.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [halfProgress] ''If this fog lifts, we are done for sure. We will have to trust in fate.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [threequarterProgress] ''We are almost there! Hold fast!''


The technician eventually discovers a match: the Ring of Seth recovered at the museum (also known as the Ring of Sand) has come into contact with members of the Brotherhood back in 1923, in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings – the same location where the sarcophagus was reportedly unearthed in 1932.
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [DetectionEnd] ''Watch out! That's a British ship! We'll have to retreat and try again.''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [RockEnd] ''Watch out! That will sink us!''
*'''Caesar Glover:''' [SuccessEnd] ''We made it! Well done. I thought I was done for sure.''


Gavin Banks urges the Descendants to return to the Animus promptly. This might offer them an opportunity to gain an advantage over Dr. Long.
;Outcome
*Escape successful!
You crossed the East River and avoided detection by British ships. You were fortunate that it was so dark and full of fog or you were sure to have been seen!<br><br>Congratulations on successfully evacuating from Brooklyn. It was a desperate moment for the Revolution


====Sequence Hooks====
;Log
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “the Great Egyptian Discovery.”
I screwed a ship past the British blockade and helped Caesar Glover evacuate before it was too late.


*'''Mysterious Origins (Modern Day).''' The sarcophagus and the ring contained within it were loaned a few months ago to the British Museum from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. However, from both publicly available and hacked data, there appears to be no record of the site where the sarcophagus was found. Lumped together with Tutankhamun’s latest collection of relics, it is plausible that the discovery was made in the 1920s; the accompanying documentation might still physically exist in the offices of the Cairo Museum – or perhaps someone has kept the site secret on purpose. Either way, a visit to Cairo could serve the Brotherhood well.
|-|Fire=
;Fire Suspects
In 1783, with the British still in control of New York, Sir Guy Carleton commissioned an investigation into the causes of the devastating fire of 1776. The inquiry brought officers to this very spot you are now standing on to question those present at the time. Speak to people present at the time of the fire, help prepare an investigation, and accuse someone of being the cause.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York that were destroyed by the fire and begin questioning the suspects.


*'''Spies in Cairo (Simulation).''' The Brotherhood has detected peculiar activities involving a Templar seneschal, Lord Carnarvon, who hastily departed for Cairo aboard a private plane, accompanied by a sizable contingent of Templar agents. It appears that significant developments are underway in Egypt. The Witnesses have been tasked with promptly reaching the Egyptian capital to track down the Templars. Their mission there is to spy on Lord Carnarvon, gathering intelligence on his activities and intentions, and intervening only if deemed essential.
;Historical details
On September 20, 1776, just days after British forces captured New York, a massive fire broke out and spread rapidly across lower Manhattan. Fueled by wooden buildings and strong winds, the flames destroyed nearly one fifth of the city. Churches, homes, warehouses, and vital infrastructure were reduced to ashes. <br><br>As autumn approached, thousands of residents including Loyalists, British soldiers, formerly enslaved people seeking refuge, and civilians caught between loyalties were left homeless. Much of the city became a patchwork of tents and temporary shelters, reshaping life in British occupied New York for the rest of the war. Suspicion quickly followed. British authorities arrested several individuals, accusing revolutionaries of setting the blaze to sabotage the occupation. <br><br>In 1783, just weeks before evacuating the city, Commander in Chief Sir Guy Carleton ordered another investigation. Officials reported possible incendiary evidence and conflicting eyewitness testimony, but no definitive cause was proven. Historians continue to debate whether the fire was accidental or deliberate. The Great Fire of 1776 remains one of the most destructive disasters in New York’s history and a stark reminder that the Revolution unfolded not only in battles, but in a city divided by fear and uncertainty.


*'''Medjay Guardians (Simulation).''' As the Witnesses make their journey towards the Valley of the Kings, they encounter a band of medjays on horseback, donned in black robes and heavily armed. The medjays confront the Assassins, delivering a stern warning: “None shall pass into the sacred confines of King Tutankhamun’s Tomb. None shall uncover what lies hidden beneath its ancient stones.”
;Instructions
Objective
You must investigate and decide upon who caused the great fire of New York for the Carleton Commission. Do this by questioning three key suspects.


===The Great Egyptian Discovery===
Talking
'''Time Frame:''' World War I
The key suspects are: British General William Howe, American General George Washington, and New York fire chief John Baltus Dash.<br><br>Tap on them to ask questions and learn about the fire.


'''Location:''' The Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt - 1923
New information
Each new piece of information unlocks further lines of questioning.


'''Description:'''  In 1922, following a temporary halt in excavations due to the Great War, the British archaeologist Howard Carter made a momentous discovery. He unearthed the tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor. What Carter was unaware of, however, was that the patron funding his research, Lord Carnarvon, held a covert allegiance to the British Rite of the Templar Order.<br><br>A year later, laborers at the excavation site made an astonishing find. They discovered a secondary tunnel branching off from the main structure, delving deeper into the earth and unveiling an entirely new network of chambers and passageways. At the end of this labyrinthine complex stood a wall adorned with intricate hieroglyphs recounting tales of the god Seth and other figures shrouded in mystery.<br><br>Much of the interior walls of the complex resembled a catacomb, with exposed burial sites and a solitary sarcophagus positioned prominently before a staircase leading to the inscribed wall. The significance of this discovery was still largely unknown to the laborers: it was an Isu Vault housing a guardian empowered by a Piece of Eden. It was little wonder that the Templars swiftly mobilized to seize control of the site.
Notes
Tap the notes icon at any time to re-examine any of the suspects' answers.


You know that Templar agents have already infiltrated the crew of archaeologist Howard Carter to secure any Isu artifacts or secrets uncovered during the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb last year. The rumors about a strange frieze depicting the god Seth holding items similar to Isu Artifacts found in a deeper level of the tomb seem to be confirmed by the presence on site of Lord Carnarvon, who hurried here all the way from England.
Accusing
When you feel you have enough information to make a conclusion you can accuse one of the suspects of causing the fire by tapping on them and selecting 'Accuse'.


Your mission is clear: infiltrate the dig site, gather intelligence on any significant discoveries, and above all, prevent the Templars from obtaining any Precursor technology.
;What happens
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Dash.''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I'm John Baltus Dash, a veteran firefighter. I worked to protect the city during the fire. I managed to protect much of the city from the fire, including St Paul's.''


====Key Objectives====
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
<tabber>
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''His men often act like drunken louts. I've seen badly attended cook fires that got out of control.''
|-|1 - ENTER THE TOMB=
The Witnesses must penetrate the labyrinthine tunnels of the tomb to witness the Templars’ discovery firsthand. The location is inaccessible to the public and surrounded by British Army guards at its perimeter. However, they are not alone in their endeavor. Lord Carnarvon and a substantial contingent of Templar agents arrived at the site two days ago.


As you step out of the vehicle, the warm desert breeze embraces you. It’s a comforting welcome after your journey from the banks of the Nile. From your vantage point, you can survey the dig site nestled in the Valley of the Kings, keeping a safe distance. The entirety of the site has been cordoned off from the public, press, and local authorities under the guise of “safety reasons.” Guards are stationed at the perimeter of the site and at the entrance to each tomb.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''I heard that Washington was talking about how he wanted the city to burn down.''


Suddenly, as you watch the access to Tutankhamun’s tomb, you notice something unusual. Lord Carnarvon, the Templar patron behind the archaeological mission, is being dragged away, clearly bleeding from a neck wound. The air echoes with distant gunshots and anguished cries coming from within the tomb itself. The British soldiers guarding the perimeter snap into action, while Templar agents emerge from their tents, converging on the area like a swarm. A palpable sense of danger hangs in the air, tinged with an unsettling aura of the unknown. Despite the risks, one certainty remains: you must venture into the heart of the dig site and thwart the Templars’ pursuit of the Pieces of Eden at all costs.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''The British soldiers helped take out some buildings to stop the spread of the fire. Without that I think the other half of the city would be gone.''


;Challenges
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the incendiaries that were found?''
*''British Army''<br>The Witnesses must sneak into the dig site, evading detection by the British soldiers stationed on the perimeter.
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''There were incendiaries scattered all over. Whoever did this wanted to start the fire in multiple spots at once.''
*''Templar Agents''<br>The Witnesses must sneak into the tomb without being caught by the Templar agents actively patrolling it.
*''Alarm Traps''<br>The Templars have set up traps in the secondary tunnel leading to the Isu Vault. The Witnesses will have to disarm or avoid these to proceed undetected.


;Weaknesses
*'''Player:''' ''How do you explain your hidden stash of valuables?''
*''Convenient Disguise (minor)''<br>Witnesses can disguise themselves as Templar agents or British soldiers to bypass patrolling guards. In this case, all Stealth and Social checks made to overcome the British Army and Templar Agents Challenge have 1 Free Raise.
*'''John Baltus Dash:''' ''Of course I knew the fire was coming. The whole place is a tinderbox. Why wouldn't I hide my valuables?''
*''Fireworks (minor)''<br>The vehicles used by the excavation team are loaded with spare petrol cans. The Witnesses can utilize the canisters to engineer an explosion, serving as a diversion, in which case they overcome either the British Army or Templar Agents Challenges, or both depending on the situation.
*''Alternative Access (minor)''<br>Once inside the perimeter, the Witnesses can seek information regarding the excavations. In this case, they may discover that the excavators have found a second access tunnel leading to the Isu Vault. This tunnel is unsafe – and therefore unused – but is not patrolled. It can be accessed from the nearby tomb of Ramesses VI. If the Witnesses decide to access the tunnel from there, they overcome the Templar Agents and Alarm Traps Challenges. However, the Reader might decide to add a different Challenge related to the unsafe tunnel passage.


|-|2 - SURVIVE THE GUARDIANS=
Tracking the trail of blood and footprints left by Lord Carnarvon and his entourage, the Witnesses finally arrive at the entrance of the secondary tunnel, which descends deeper into the earth towards the hidden chambers surrounding the Isu Vault. There, a ferocious battle rages between armed Templar agents trying to access the Vault and a fantastical army of monstrous guardians.


As they make progress into the underground complex, any of the Witnesses possessing the necessary expertise discern a peculiar anomaly in the tomb’s layout. Contrary to the typical Egyptian funerary provisions expected in such structures, there are no canopic jars and shabtis, essential for the deceased’s journey into the afterlife. This omission suggests that, despite appearances, the complex is not a tomb.
*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Howe.''
*'''William Howe:''' ''I'm William Howe, a British general. I am the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America in charge of New York.''


A surreal assemblage of horrors unfolds within the main chamber, orchestrated by a living mummy wielding a radiant, golden khopesh. Animated skeletons, armed with rusty weapons, emerge from graves embedded in the walls to encircle a group of Templars. Meanwhile, colossal snakes assail another contingent attempting to breach the wall. Swarms of carnivorous scarabs descend upon those vainly attempting to flee.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''I saw him burying his valuables before the fires even broke out. It's very suspicious, like he knew the fire was coming, but he didn't warn anyone.''


Amidst this chaotic scene, the mummy’s piercing gaze locks onto your group. Its index finger ominously points in your direction as thunderous words in a long-forgotten language reverberate through the chamber. Simultaneously, several skeletons turn their empty eye sockets to fixate on your party. This cannot be good!
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Washington?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''That man was definitely up to something. He had all the bells removed from the city. It meant that when the fire broke out, my men weren't alerted until later. I think he planned it!''


'''Special.''' Following the defeat of the mummy, chaos erupts as a grenade, thrown in panic by a Templar agent, detonates near the dry, inert corpse. The explosion reverberates through the chamber, triggering a chain reaction of crumbling rock and billowing dust. With the underground structure already teetering on the verge of collapse, the tremors intensify, signaling an imminent and potentially lethal threat to all those still trapped within its confines. All Witnesses must make a Reaction check while escaping the collapse.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the badly attended cook fires?''
*'''William Howe:''' ''My men's training is exceptional, and they are the finest infantry in the world. Sometimes they like to drink and rough house. It's not caused any real issues before.''


;Challenges
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the plundering that took place?''
*''Templar Agents''<br>Even amidst the chaos of battling unspeakable monsters, the fanatic Templar agents still perceive the Descendants as adversaries and seek to obstruct or assault them.
*'''William Howe:''' ''That's a serious accusation. I sincerely hope you have substantial evidence of my men doing such a thing. Before you continue to repeat those rumors.''
*''Illusions of Horror''<br>Animated skeletons, swarms of carnivorous insects, sand ghosts, zombie hyenas, and a multitude of other terrifying monsters are nothing more than illusions conjured by the guardian mummy. However, the potency of these illusions is such that those who are unable to see through them remain in grave peril. The only means to confront this formidable threat is to pierce through the veil of deception and recognize the illusions for what they truly are. A Witness can make a Wits check with 1 Raise to see reality as it is and become immune to the mummy’s monsters.
*''The Mummy Returns''<br>The undead creature wields its khopesh with superhuman expertise and speed. Fighting it requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise. Also, on a failure, the Witness must make a Reaction check.


;Weaknesses
*''Turn Tail (major)''<br>Given the otherworldly nature of the threat they are facing, the Witnesses may indeed opt to heed their instincts and hastily retreat from the depths of the underground complex. In this case, the Witnesses achieve the Survive the Guardians Key Objective.

*'''Player:''' ''Tell me about yourself, Mr Washington.''

As you emerge from the tunnel, a palpable tremor reverberates through the earth, signaling the impending collapse of the underground complex. Like a living entity, the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb exhales a billowing cloud of dust and sand, within which, for a fleeting moment, the sinister visage of the mummy seems to materialize, sneering malevolently. Before you can dwell on this unnerving sight, the bright headlights of the British army’s vehicles illuminate the scene from a distance, prompting you to swiftly retreat into the comforting embrace of shadows. Soon, the artificial construct of the Simulation begins to unravel, gradually dissipating, and bringing you back to reality.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Dash?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''All the water buckets had their handles cut off. Shoddy handling and protecting of his equipment. What is he playing at?''


Images of monsters, killers, and the harrowing events of the past few days weigh heavily upon you as you settle into your seat on the flight from London to Cairo, making it a formidable struggle to find rest. Knowing that there will be no respite upon arrival, your thoughts turn to the urgent mission that lies ahead. Once you touch down in Cairo, there will be no time to waste. You will press onward, journeying south towards Luxor, eager to explore the untouched depths of the Valley of the Kings — a place you only “visited” in 1922 in the Simulation.
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about Howe?''
*'''George Washington:''' ''His men were plundering houses the flames hadn't even reached yet! Not to mention the amount of patriots they've arrested under the guise of this \"fire\". Clearly they did this to line their own pockets and lower our numbers.''


====Setbacks====
*'''Player:''' ''How do you feel about the fire?''
*''FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)''<br>Bullets start flying. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*'''George Washington:''' ''I don't deny that I am pleased the city has burnt down. The loyalists have done us a great service; however, it was not me that did it.''
*''FIRE IN THE HOLE (MINOR)''<br>A grenade lands near the Witnesses, forcing them to take cover. All Witnesses in the targeted area must make a Reaction check.
*''FALLING DEBRIS (MINOR)''<br>A piece of debris falls from the ceiling. A Witness must make a Reaction check.
*''FEAR OF THE DEAD GUARDIAN (MINOR)''<br>The mummy uses its supernatural powers to overwhelm the Witnesses minds with waves of sanity-shattering terror. All targeted Witnesses must make a Wits check with 1 Raise. On a failure, any Approach check made to overcome the The Mummy Returns Challenge requires 1 additional Raise.


====Sequence Hooks====
*'''Player:''' ''What do you know about the church bells that were removed?''
The following hooks can be used to play one or more Sequences occurring prior to the events depicted in “Fulfill Your Destiny.”
*'''George Washington:''' ''Yes, I had the bells moved to be melted down into cannons. But that was planned months ago; it has nothing to do with the fires.''
*'''A Spanner in the Works (Modern Day):''' Following the PCs’ intrusion, Abstergo intervenes to stop them before they can reach the Valley of the Kings. While the Descendants head to Heathrow to catch their flight, a group of Abstergo agents, led by the formidable Black Cross, Juhani Otso Berg (see the Black Cross Sequence Hook, on page 97), intercepts them. The Descendants find themselves vastly outnumbered and outgunned. Their only viable option is to make a swift escape, utilizing every resource and skill at their disposal.
*'''Fragile Alliance (Modern Day):''' At the last moment, the Black Cross recognizes the urgency of stopping Dr. Long. He approaches the Descendants with an offer – a temporary alliance to stop Long’s plans. With his assistance, the PCs will have a smoother journey to Luxor in Egypt, significantly reducing the risk of encountering further problems with Abstergo. However, this offer is not without its own set of risks.


===Fulfill your Destiny===
*'''Player:''' ''What do you think about the buildings that were destroyed?''
'''Location:''' The Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt
*'''George Washington:''' ''Those loyalists were smashing perfectly good houses to bits. The flames weren't anywhere near them!''


'''Description:'''  The PCs now stand at the threshold of the Isu Vault hidden within the Valley of the Kings, armed with all three of Seth’s rings. Determined to thwart Dr. Long’s schemes and prevent him from reaching Apophis, they prepare to confront the challenges that lie ahead within the ancient sanctuary.
;Outcome
*Accused: John Baltus Dash
You have accused the Fire Chief of starting the fire. He buried his own valuables before the fire broke out, suggesting he knew what was coming, and, despite being a known loyalist, he didn't inform the British. His behavior is suspicious, but the evidence is circumstantial and not conclusive.
*Accused: General William Howe
You have accused the British forces of causing the fire, either through malice or incompetence. While British troops were seen looting buildings and numerous Revolutionary supporters were later arrested, the evidence against them remains circumstantial and inconclusive.
*Accused: General George Washington
You have accused the Revolutionary forces of being involved in deliberately starting the fire. General Washington's outspoken desire to deny the British the city, the presence of unexploded incendiaries, and the removal of church bells by American soldiers all point to planned sabotage - but the evidence remains circumstantial and inconclusive.


You find yourself standing within a section of the ancient Egyptian tomb, shrouded in darkness untouched by sunlight for centuries. The walls of the corridor are adorned with intricate hieroglyphics reminiscent of those seen in the British Museum, weaving together the rich tapestry of history within this ancient place. Prominently featured throughout these narratives is the recurring role of Seth, bestowing his rings upon various individuals.

I spoke to people involved in the Great Fire of 1776. I successfully assisted with the investigation into the cause but could not conclusively identify the cause.


At the end of the corridor, a painted arch reveals the culmination of this enigmatic narrative — an astonishing revelation that sends shivers down your spine. Before your eyes, immortalized in vibrant hieroglyphs that have withstood the test of time for millennia, you behold yourselves — portrayed in stunning detail, mirroring the very events you have recently experienced in the Simulation.

;Supplying the Revolution
In 1776, the large houses here along Broadway were used as locations to plan how to get supplies across the Atlantic. American forces were experiencing significant supply issues that threatened the course of the Revolution. With battles against British forces imminent and gunpowder supplies running low, work with Francis Lewis to plot a safe route.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York to begin planning the shipping route.<br><br>This memory has been created in partnership with the Welsh Government.


Suddenly, a commanding voice resonates from ahead, cutting through the silence with chilling authority. “It took you long enough,” it declares, echoing through the ancient chamber. “You may think you have vanquished my creations, but you are mistaken. You have merely assumed their mantle. Your efforts have wrought no change. I command the power of Seth’s Staff, and you shall bend to my will, whether you choose to defy me or not!”
;Historical details
The Revolution was almost lost, not with a grand battle or cunning act of espionage, but with a shortage of supplies. When George Washington took command in 1775, he discovered the evolutionary army had a critical shortage of supplies. The shortages included food, clothing, and weaponry, however the most critical was with Gunpowder. With only 38 barrels of gunpowder, equivalent to just nine rounds per soldier, in the stores they were almost unable to fight the British. <br><br>America lacked the natural deposits of saltpeter that was needed to create their own and as a result they were reliant on imports, largely from their allies in France. These supplies were largely shipped across the Atlantic then via French colonies in the Caribbean. These routes sought to avoid the British blockades and seizures, a process that required a deep understanding of international shipping. <br><br>The newly formed American army turned to people like Francis Lewis, successful merchants who has taken up the patriot cause despite the risks to both their life and fortunes. This approach saw moderate success and led to several crucial clandestine shipments reaching America in 1777, supplies that enabled the army to engage in some of the most important early battles.


A man slowly approaches from the other side of the chamber, a radiant golden light emanating from a Staff of Eden.

Dr. Long calls upon Seth’s powers to force the PCs into submission. With a powerful Isu artifact in his hands, he is able to manifest powers that are beyond mortal comprehension.


A vortex of crimson sand suddenly engulfs you, obscuring your vision entirely. When the sandstorm relents, you find that you are no longer in the painted halls of the tomb complex. Instead you are in a desert bathed in a crimson hue, ominous black storm clouds threatening from afar.

Dr. Long’s form undergoes a startling transformation, mirroring the depictions of the Egyptian god Seth. A shadowy darkness seeps from the pores of his skin, consuming his body with unnatural speed. His eyes morph into malefic crimson orbs. The man’s physique distorts, contorting into a more sinister silhouette. His skin takes on an ashen hue, and his face takes on a grotesque, elongated appearance.

;What happens
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Start] ''Let me lend my expertise to help plot a route for the French supplies that the Revolution needs. Use the circular Traverse board on the left of the table to set a course.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 1 start] ''First we will need to work out a path for the goods from the Caribbean; this part should be simple enough. The French colonies there can provide us with immense amounts of gunpowder and other supplies. The main things to be aware of will be to work out the best route through the rocks.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 1 end] ''Well done; that will be the perfect route for the ship. There are four more stages to plot. The French support for the war is what allows us to bring these supplies from the Caribbean.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 2 start] ''The next step of the journey will require you to plot a route through the Windward Passage. You will need to be careful of both the rocks and the weather.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 2 end] ''That will work well by the look of it. You will need to plot three more steps. In the next step of the journey, we will need to move the goods up the Gulf Stream and up the coast.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 3 start] ''I know the risks of supporting the Revolution, but I cannot stand by when the Stamp Act is so unjust. You will need to be mindful of not just the rocks but British ships that will seize the cargo.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 3 end] ''Perfect, that is exactly what is needed. Almost there, two more to go. I've seen firsthand how a war is often decided by logistics, and this one is no different.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 4 start] ''Now let's plot a course that follows the coast up toward New York. You'll need to be aware of the risk of both the weather and of British ships in this leg of the journey.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 4 end] ''That's an excellent solution. Only one more step left now. With the last step of the journey, you'll need to move the supplies into a safe harbor in America.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 5 start] ''American forces are desperate for these supplies, their future depends on our success. You will need to contend with more British ships the closer you get to the destination. Good luck.''
*'''Francis Lewis:''' [Map 5 end] ''Excellent work. That route will take the supplies used where they are needed.''


;Challenges
;Outcome
*''Sandstorm''<br>Summoned by the Staff of Seth, a blood-red sandstorm hits the PCs. Every PCs must make a Reaction check.
*Supplies delivered safely!
*''Shadow Warriors''<br>A group of shadowy figures emerges from the sand, attacking the PCs. Defeating them requires at least 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
Following your course, the ship delivered supplies to our Revolutionary forces in America. <br><br>With General Washington's supplies running dangerously low due to British blockades, this delivery could prove vital to the ongoing fight. Well done.

For the length of the confrontation Dr. Long remains safe behind the energy shield of the Staff of Seth. Yet, in time his powers start to weaken.

;Historical details
After Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, New Yorkers marked the moment by raising what became known as a liberty pole on the Common, near where British soldiers drilled. \nIn the 1760s, new British taxes and trade regulations had sparked fierce protests, especially among maritime workers and laborers who felt the economic strain most directly. The streets were a battleground.<br><br>The tall white pine mast, timber normally reserved for Royal Navy ships, rose above the barracks with a flag proclaiming liberty. It was meant to provoke. British troops and Loyalists repeatedly cut the pole down, and each time supporters of the Patriot cause raised another. <br><br> The conflict escalated into street fighting known as the Battle of Golden Hill, often described as the first bloodshed of the Revolution in New York. During the later British occupation, liberty poles continued to appear as symbols of resistance. Some were reinforced with metal bands or greased to prevent soldiers from climbing them. These towering masts were more than protest signs. They were bold declarations that even under imperial authority, many New Yorkers refused to surrender the idea of self government.


;Challenges
;Instructions
*''Force Shield''<br>The shield around Dr. Long is a marvel of Isu technology. It is seemingly impenetrable, requiring at least 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
Objective
*''Lethal Blow''<br>The coup de grâce can only be delivered once Dr. Long’s defenses have been overcome. This requires at least 2 separate Approach checks.

*''Fighting Fire with Fire''<br>By harnessing the Ring of Sand’s illusionary power, the mind-manipulating powers of the Ring of Blood, the heightened perceptions and the physical prowess gifted by the Ring of Moon, the PCs can craft a convincing avatar of Seth, deceiving their adversary and quickly taking him down. In this case, they complete the Killing Blow Key Objective.

*'''Hercules Mulligan:''' [end] ''With every flag flown and every voice calling out in dissent, the support for the cause grows, my friend.''


As if pulled by a colossal whirlpool, the crimson desert starts to converge on the Staff of Seth. Within moments, the entire landscape is drawn into it. Once more you stand within the chamber. Before you is Dr. Long, still clutching the staff, but something has changed. His posture and expressions now bear the aspect of an entirely different being. As he speaks, you know without a doubt that this is no longer the doctor.

*Liberty Pole Raised!
You successfully raised a Liberty Pole in front of the British barracks, sending a clear message to the occupying forces. It may be cut down, but a new one will be raised in its place.


The voice resonates inside your mind, transmitted through the rings that adorn your fingers. The individual standing before you is unmistakably the Isu known as Seth.

;Nine Men's Morris
1779 New York, occupied by the British, was torn apart by war, its streets shared uneasily by loyalists, patriots, and those caught somewhere in between. Take a moment's respite from the simmering tensions to sit here at City Hall Park, and play Nine Men's Morris with people with differing opinions on the war.<br><br>Enter the streets and taverns of revolutionary era New York to find a game.


Seth raises his staff before you, and a vivid purple aura envelops the chamber, weaving a new illusion around you. London materializes, shrouded in an unending, ominous night. Lifeless bodies litter the streets, buildings stand as ruined shells. The streets are covered with debris, and the Thames lies dry and lifeless.
;Historical details
Nine Men’s Morris was a popular strategy game during the American Revolution and was played by soldiers and civilians alike. Boards were scratched into stone tavern tables, barrack walls, and public spaces across New York. Taverns and coffee houses were central gathering places where people shared news, argued politics, and passed the time. The rules of the game were simple: place your pieces carefully, block your opponent, and trap them until they could no longer move. But the strategy required patience and calculation. <br><br>In the 1770s, New Yorkers were engaged in a far more dangerous contest. Debates over Parliament’s taxes and British authority filled these same public spaces. When talk turned to independence, the city divided. Some residents still considered themselves British and supported the Crown. Others were uncertain, worried about challenging the world’s most powerful empire. Many favored resistance but disagreed about whether armed conflict was the answer. Class, occupation, faith, and neighborhood shaped opinion, and choosing a side carried real risk. Like Nine Men’s Morris, the struggle for New York required careful moves. One wrong decision could leave you exposed in a city where politics, loyalty, and survival were deeply intertwined.


Seth’s voice pierces through this haunting vision: “This is the fate that your world will meet if Project Apophis will be activated, should the Vault be unsealed. You are now tasked with safeguarding this place, and with bearing the weight of this knowledge. Farewell, my champions. Ensure that the eyes of the living never again fall upon these halls.”
;Instructions
Objective
As a keen Nine Men's Morris player, you must play against an opponent of your choosing. <br><br>Playing against different people will let you learn about life in New York during the occupation.


====Setbacks====
Placement
*''FURY OF SETH (MINOR)''<br>Dr. Long attacks one of the PCs with supernatural speed. The PC must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise to dodge or parry the blow.
You and your opponent will take turns placing a man anywhere on the board. You both have a total of nine men each.
*''YOU ARE UNDER MY COMMAND! (MAJOR)''<br>Dr. Long tries to impose his will on a PC wearing a Ring of Seth. The PC must make a Wits check or fall under Long’s control – the PC must immediately act to defend Long. For the rest of the scene, at the end of an Approach check, the PC must make a Wits check to snap out of Long’s control.


==What’s Next?==
Mills
Becoming Seth’s champions mark the climax of this Storyline, but there are a multitude of possibilities for a Reader wishing to explore different endings and developments:
If a player creates a 'mill', by placing three of their men in a straight, non-diagonal row, they can remove one of their opponent's men that are not already in a mill. Mills can be made in any phase so watch where your opponent is placing their men and be sure to block any mills; otherwise, your men will be removed.
*'''The Great Dark''': Seth intends to activate the Apophis Project, a cataclysmic Isu plan that threatens to destroy humanity. He seeks to use his champions to activate it and ascend to rulership over the remnants of civilization.
*'''The Human-Isu War''': Apophis was an Isu who underwent gruesome experiments during the Human-Isu war to become an unstoppable weapon. Now, he teeters on the brink of freedom. Who will release him? Could it be the Isu Ra, who has managed to survive throughout the ages?
*'''God save the Queen''': The Apophis Project takes on the form of a mechanism that allows an Isu’s resurrection from the darkness of the Grey. This narrative could be connected to the plot of “Lost in Time,” introducing an additional layer to that storyline (see page 134).
*'''Nothing is True''': The modern day Sequences are nothing more than simulations. The actual date is 2055, in a world where the Apophis Project has transformed most of humanity into abominable creatures. The PCs are descendants of their 2016 counterparts and must embark on a quest to find the Rings of Seth and reverse the change wrought by the Apophis Project.


=Lost in Time=
Movement
In Chapter 1, the adventure begins with the kidnapping of Regina Davies, a young actress whose DNA plays a key role in her captors’ plan. Regina is then trapped within a Simulation by a powerful, unknown enemy. The Descendants must infiltrate a cutting-edge facility and employ unique technology to enter the Animus as Echoes in order to save the girl.
Once all pieces have been placed, players can move them one at a time by tapping on the piece they wish to move and shifting it into an adjacent empty space.


In Chapter 2, through the memories of one of Regina’s Ancestors, the PCs relive a mission led by Jeremiah Davies, a Templar Agent aligned with the Brotherhood, amidst the tumult of World War I-ravaged North Africa. As they delve deeper into Davies’ mission, they become ensnared in a series of simulation glitches and erratic sequences, provoked by the Isu Juno herself.
Flying
Once a player is down to three men, they can fly by moving their man to any empty space on the board.


In Chapter 3, as the Descendants tune back into the World War I simulation, they uncover the machinations of the Instruments of the First Will. Their plan: to access an ancient Isu Vault buried beneath the sands of Egypt and revive the Precursor Juno.
Victory / defeat
Once a player is down to two men or unable to move, the other player wins.


Unbeknownst to them, Juno has been waiting for almost a century for the Descendants to meet her in the past as part of a complex plan. The Precursor intends to manipulate their Simulation, trapping them to use information stored within their DNA to return to life, using Regina’s body as a vessel. The Descendants eventually free themselves from the Animus’ trap and confront a reborn Juno, possibly facing a hard moral decision.

*'''Hector de Crevecoeur:''' [end] ''Well played.''


One of Regina’s Ancestors was a Templar who came into contact with the Isu Juno in Egypt during World War I, and the Instruments are eager to examine her genetic memory. By means of new Animus prototypes and cutting-edge equipment, the Instruments of the First Will have trapped Regina in the past to find what they are looking for.

*'''Abraham Woodhull:''' [end] ''Well played.''


The Instruments of the First Will that have infiltrated the facility are led by Kumar, a newly awakened Sage (see The Sages box). Kumar says that Juno has left precise instructions on how to bring her back to life and provide her with a physical body. These instructions are hidden in the memories of specific subjects that Kumar has managed to identify, ordering their abduction to allow investigation of their memories within the facility’s Animi Room. Regina Davies is the most important of these subjects.

'''Location:'''Abstergo Industries Neo-Chemical and Medical Research Lab, North Harrow, London, UK
;Printing Pressure
You are standing on Hanover Square where printers used to work in the many buildings around this area. In 1775 tensions between Loyalists and Patriots were running high.  Printers were publishing the latest news arriving into the city on the packet ships. Take to the printing press, assemble different articles, and print your newspaper.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards the Hanover Square print shop.


'''Description:''' The Descendants are informed by their Cell of the kidnapping of Regina Davies and asked to infiltrate the Abstergo Industries site to investigate and free the actress. They will be assisted by Anjali, one of the Cell’s field techs.
;Historical details
By the mid eighteenth century, New York had become the communications capital of colonial America. With a regular packet ship connection to England, news from Europe arrived here first and spread outward to other colonies. At Hanover Square near the East River waterfront, merchants, sailors, and printers gathered to exchange information that shaped public opinion. <br><br>During the imperial crisis after 1763, printers played a powerful role in the growing debate over Britain’s authority. One of the most controversial was James Rivington. In 1773 he launched the New York Gazette, and its outspoken Loyalist tone won support from British officials while angering revolutionaries. In 1775 a Patriot mob destroyed his printshop and forced him to flee to London. <br><br>When British forces captured New York in 1777, Rivington returned as the King’s official printer, publishing newspapers that defended royal rule. Yet the story did not end there. Evidence later suggested that he secretly supplied information to George Washington’s spy network. In a city divided by war, the press became its own battlefield, and loyalty was often far more complicated than it first appeared.


You reach Anjali’s mobile lab — a food truck filled with high-tech equipment, monitors, drones, and cables. The field tech tells you that his personal “TSFP” (Templar-Scum Finder Program) has detected an individual registered in the Brotherhood’s databases as a suspected Abstergo Agent in the presence of the missing woman a week ago. A CCTV camera positioned above Café Concerto, facing the main entrance of the Apollo Theatre, caught the agent waiting for the actress outside the venue, before forcing her to enter a black jeep. The jeep is fitted with fake plates.
;Instructions
Objective
Alongside James Parker, a printer in occupied New York, you must use the printing press to create a newspaper. <br><br>The articles are politically varied and what you choose will determine your future.


The Templars are known for this type of kidnapping. Anjali has been following the jeep’s via hacked ANPR cameras. The last image is from a speed camera in North Harrow, in the vicinity of a new Abstergo Industries facility. It’s up to you to infiltrate it, find Regina, and free her from the Templars.
Selecting Content
Tap the glowing areas of the printing press to select articles, cartoons, and the look of your newspaper.


====Key Objectives====
Loyalist or Patriot
<tabber>
Each choice affects how you're perceived in New York, and beyond, based on what you choose to print.
|-|1 - ENTER THE ABSTERGO FACILITY=
The Brotherhood’s hideouts are usually hidden in anonymous, run-down locations. “Hide in plain sight”, right? The Assassins must live undercover, constantly on the lookout for Templar spies and from nosy civilians alike. The Templar Order, on the other hand, has no such problems. The Abstergo facility in North Harrow is a modern marvel of function and design.


Anjali remains at a distance, safely inside his mobile lab from where he can follow the Descendants, communicating with them through earpieces and similar hardware.
Printing the Paper
Once all the content has been chosen, tap on the highlighted lever to start the printing process.


Polished black walls surround a square, three-story glass building that shows an imposing, three-colored Abstergo symbol and backlit “For A Better Future” text. The plate outside the electrified gate reads “Abstergo Industries: Neo-Chemical and Medical Research Lab” and, in larger letters, “Warning: High Voltage”. You can see blue-light emissions from a series of bulbs running along the top of the walls. These security measures look pretty sophisticated...
;What happens
*'''James Parker:''' [Start] ''Remember, you will need to add content to the five sections of the printing area.''
*'''James Parker:''' [FirstArticle] ''There are stories from every corner of the world. What would appeal to the readers?''
*'''James Parker:''' [FirstCartoon] ''The city is divided between Loyalist and Patriot supporters; I don't think I'll be able to appeal to everybody.''
*'''James Parker:''' [AllComponents] ''To print the paper follow my instructions and use the parts of the press as I show you.''
*'''James Parker:''' [Draft] ''Time to get this printed.''


;Challenges
*''Perimeter Alarm''<br>An advanced alarm system protects the facility. The PCs might obtain employee badges from Abstergo personnel, hack the alarm system or else be extremely careful. If the PCs have the right tools to hack a security system, they can make a Wits check with 1 Raise to deactivate the alarm.
*''Security Cameras''<br>The whole place is filled with security cameras, watching every corridor and room.
*''Abstergo Security''<br>Guards patrol the lab. Sneaking into the facility will prove challenging even if the cameras and alarms are neutralized. All Stealth checks made to move undetected require 1 additional Raise.


;Weaknesses
Headers:
*''Anjali Guide (minor)''<br>If the Descendants can recover an Abstergo Guard’s earpiece or similar device, Anjali discovers the frequency that Abstergo Security is transmitting on, as well as each guard’s live location. In this case, the PCs overcome the Abstergo Security Challenge and, from now on, all Stealth checks made to move undetected in the facility have 1 Free Raise.
*New York Gazette
**The New-York Gazette and Weekly Mercury ran from February 1, 1768 to November 10, 1783, published by Hugh Gaine. Initially sympathetic to the Patriot movement, Gaine fled to Newark when the British captured New York, but returned in November 1776 and switched to publishing it as a Loyalist paper.
*New York Packet
**Founded in January 1776 by printer Samuel Loudon, the New York Packet ran until 1792. Loudon was a strong advocate for American independence and freedom of the press.
*Royal Gazette
**The Royal Gazette was published by Loyalist printer James Rivington in British-held New York City from 1777 to 1783. It was one of the most prominent Loyalist newspapers of the Revolutionary War period, serving as a mouthpiece for the British Crown during the occupation of New York.

*This article is a letter from the Editor expressing support for the Revolutionary cause.
**To the Public.<br><br>THE Printer embraces this early opportunity of returning his cordial thanks to his Customers, for the favour and honour they have conferred upon him, by encouraging the publication of this Paper, which makes its first appearance under a disadvantage, as little foreign news is to be expected at this season of the year. He does not mean to amuse his Readers with pompous promises; therefore, he only assures them, that he will endeavour to merit their approbation, by exerting himself to render the NEW-YORK PACKET of public utility. While the difficulty of the times require much prudence in conducting a Work of this nature, he hopes his Readers will be so candid as to make every reasonable allowance.<br><br>His will be extremely happy to have it in his power, to convey, thro’ the channel of this Paper, together with useful intelligence, foreign and domestic, any considerations that may illustrate and animate the glorious cause of Constitutional Liberty, and at the same time pour medicine into the bleeding wounds of the extended empire. For this purpose, he most earnestly invites the Friends of America and the British Constitution, to favour him with their kind assistance. Much has been said on the important controversy that now engages the attention of all Europe; but the subject is not yet exhausted; there is sufficient scope for new discussions.<br><br>In the mean time, the Printer begs leave, very respectfully, to present the compliments of the season to his kind Customers; wishing, that the year 1776 may be the happy Era, in which Peace and Union, on a Constitutional Basis, shall be concluded between Great-Britain and her Colonies. To these wishes, he begs leave to have the additional pleasure of seeing the Public’s Most obedient, humble servant,\nSAMUEL LOUDON.\n

Once inside the Control Room, PCs can access data about Regina Davies and her Ancestor Jeremiah Davies, whose memory she is currently reliving inside the Animus. Strange messages indicate the Simulation is currently on standby. Two scientists can be seen inside the Animi Room, monitoring Regina Davies’ unconscious body. The body floats in an Animus inserted in a strange containment tube.
Cartoons:
*The American rattlesnake presenting Monsieur his ally a dish of frogs, London 1782
**This cartoon shows an American rattlesnake offering a basket of frogs to a French socialite. It mocks their reliance on each other and encourages Britain to oppose them both.
*The British Lion Engaging Four Powers, London 1782
**This cartoon shows Britain (depicted as a lion) fighting a coalition of Americans (a snake), Duch (a pug dog), Spanish (a spaniel), and French (a cockerel). The triumphant tone mocks the nations who sought to oppose Britain.
*The horse America, throwing his master, London, 1779
**This cartoon shows America as a wild horse violently throwing off its British rider. It  symbolizes the colonies rebelling against and rejecting British control during the Revolutionary War.
*Liberty Triumphant or the Downfall of Oppression, Boston 1774
**This cartoon shows the British Tea Tax as a plot by the Devil to destroy colonial liberty, while American colonists nobly defend their rights. It highlights the mounting tensions that lead to the Revolutionary War.
*Miss Carolina Sulivan - one of the obstinate daughters of America, London 1776
**This cartoon shows Sullivan's Island, portrayed as a head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman who looks like a leading British politician William Pitt. It mocks the British after the successful defense of the island by the Revolutionary forces.
*The political cartoon for the year 1775, London
**This cartoon shows King George III, depicted as overwhelmed and failing to control the rebellious American colonies. It highlights British anxiety and criticism of royal leadership at the outbreak of war.
*A Society of Patriotic Ladies at Edenton, North Carolina, London 1775
**This cartoon shows a group of colonial women singing a promise not to buy or use East India Company tea or English-made cloth. Its depiction mocks the American colonists as ugly, foolish, and misguided
*The Tea-Tax-Tempest, or Old Time with his Magick Lanthern
**This cartoon satirizes the causes and unfolding chaos of the American Revolution. It depicts Father Time, who uses an 18th-century projection lantern to cast a vision of the American Revolution. At the center of the projection is a teapot bursting into flames while a rooster (representing France) fans the flames, symbolizing French interference and their alliance with the American colonies. Alongside the screen Europe, Asia, Africa, and America are depicted as women watching this unfold.
*The Repeal: Or the Funeral Procession of Miss America-Stamp, 1766

*The Tory's Day of Judgement, New York 1795
**This cartoon shows former Loyalists (“Tories”) facing public humiliation and punishment in a chaotic, almost apocalyptic scene. It reflects  a lingering post-Revolution resentment and the idea that Loyalists must answer for their allegiance to Britain by the Americans.


;Challenges
;Outcome
*''Animi Room Access''<br>It is protected by a biometric lock that can’t be opened with standard badges. Such a lock might require fingerprints, retinal scans, or voice recognition to be opened. The PCs must find a way to bypass it or acquire the necessary biometric data to gain entry. Any attempt to hack the biometric lock with a Wits check requires 2 Raises and automatically triggers the Intruders! Setback with a squad of Abstergo Agents rapidly responding.
*Printing pressure
*''Scientists''<br>There are two Abstergo scientists inside the Animi Room, monitoring Regina Davies’ conditions. Should the PCs interrogate them, or examine their notes, they will discover Regina Davies’ current predicament and the nature of the Simulation she is in (a memory fragment where Regina’s Ancestor personally encountered a member of the Precursor Civilization). Regina has now fallen into a semi-comatose state due to an unknown malfunction and is currently stuck in the memory corridor. The scientists are unable to force her into the programmed Simulation or disconnect her from the Animus. In the Scientists’ honest opinion, detaching her from the device until she’s properly entered the Simulation could prove lethal.
[LOYALIST] Your pro-British articles will find favor with some in New York, but should the British be defeated, expect trouble.
[REVOLUTIONARY] You've backed the Revolutionary cause with your published articles, winning favor with some in New York - as long as you can avoid being shut down or forced out of the city.

|-|Statue=
;Tearing down the King
The statue is gone now, but in 1776, revolutionary supporters gathered here on the Bowling Green, at the foot of the British-controlled fort, around a statue of King George. General Washington did one of the first readings of the Declaration of Independence here. Join the riot alongside Issac Sears and throw ropes onto the statue of King George to topple it.<br><br>Enter the streets of revolutionary era New York and head towards Bowling green.


Once the PCs are inside the Animi Room Anjali contacts them, giving them instructions to hook him up to the Control Room’s network so that he can hack its system and understand what’s happening.
;Historical details
On July 9, 1776, crowds gathered in what is now City Hall Park to hear the Declaration of Independence read aloud to Washington’s troops and the public. With those words, the colonies renounced their allegiance to King George III and declared themselves free states. The news echoed across a city already on edge, as British warships filled the harbor and redcoats stood in nearby barracks.<br><br>That evening, energized by the declaration, a group of sailors and laborers marched down Broadway to Bowling Green, just outside Fort George, the center of British power in New York. Inside the iron fence stood a towering gilded statue of King George III, erected only a few years earlier as a symbol of imperial authority. By torchlight, the crowd pulled the 4,000 pound lead statue from its pedestal and broke it apart while onlookers cheered. <br><br>The fragments were later sent to Connecticut, where much of the metal was melted down and recast into bullets for the Continental Army. In a single night, a royal monument became ammunition, and the Revolution in New York moved from bold words to visible defiance in the streets.


After a few minutes studying the situation remotely, Anjali briefs the Assassins on what they must do to get Regina safely out of the Animus. There are other Animus stations in the room, recent upgrades of the Animus 2.0 – enough of them for each of the Descendants.
;Instructions
Objective
Rioters toppled the statue of King George at the Bowling Green.<br><br>Throw ropes onto the statue to pull it down.


The body of Regina floats in the containment tube, lost in the Animus system – possibly for good. After a few minutes of silence, Anjali’s voice rings in your ears. “Alright, as always, there’s good news and bad news,” he says. “The good news is we can take Regina out of there safely if she can exit the Simulation! Bad news, you’ll need to help her out of the Simulation yourselves. I mean, supposing I’m right, you actually have to enter and re-live the Simulation with Regina.”
Ropes
Tap and hold on the pile of ropes, then swipe toward the statue to throw and attach them.


Anjali then hacks the central network to link all the Animi in the room to Regina’s containment tube, synchronizing her genetic memory to each of the devices . “You will be the Echoes of Regina’s Ancestor in the Simulation. If I can put you in in this way, we might have a chance to restart the Simulation and release Regina from the memory corridor she’s trapped in. Then, I should be able to pull you all out.”
Topple
Once three ropes are attached to the statue, rapidly tap the screen when prompted to topple it.


Suddenly, Anjali yells as if in panic. “Bloody hell! Now this is bad news! There’s a military helicopter landing in the facility’s courtyard! Abstergo must have sent in the cavalry! I can use the security system to delay them, but you’ll have to get Regina out of there, quick!”
;What happens
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [Start] ''Right, chaps, you heard him; we have broken free of the tyranny of the King.''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [FirstRope] ''Right, chaps, we'll need two more ropes to topple him.''

*'''Isaac Sears:''' [PullSecond] ''We almost have it down. Pull!''
*'''Isaac Sears:''' [Topple] ''This is where it starts; we'll cast this into bullets and send them to the King one shot at a time.''


;Outcome
*Statue Toppled
The statue of King George has been toppled! The conviction of New York to oppose the occupation by the British forces and resist their tyranny has been made clear to all.


====Setbacks====
;Log
*''BACKUP ALARM (MINOR)''<br>While hacking the security alarm or cameras, a Descendant notices that security is aware of the intrusion attempt. The Descendants must make a Reaction check with 1 Raise. If the PCs fail, the Intruders! Setback is automatically triggered.
Joining the riot in front of the British fort, I worked with Patriot Isaac Sears and toppled the statue of King George.
*''INTRUDERS! (MAJOR)''<br>Abstergo Security guards are alerted to the presence of intruders inside the facility’s perimeter. All Stealth checks made to move undetected inside the facility require 2 additional Raises instead of 1 and all doors lock automatically. In order to open the doors, the PCs must obtain an employee badge or hack their way in. Abstergo Agents could show up at the Descendants’ location.


====Notable NPCs====
|-|Turtle=
;Regina Davies
;The Turtle
Regina Davies is a young, talented actress who is just starting to receive recognition after her captivating performances on the stage of the Apollo Theatre. Born and raised in London to a wealthy family, Regina’s family has a long-standing history of service in the British Army, with several siblings earning medals of honor. However, Regina’s family tree also holds a secret. Many of her ancestors were Templars. Regina herself bears no personal affiliation with the Templars. Indeed, she remains ignorant of their existence, but their legacy is putting her in very real danger.
In 1776, with American forces in control of New York, Sergeant Lee launched David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible along this bank overlooking the East River. Pilot it undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships, in an attempt to sink the British flagship.<br><br>Enter the docks of revolutionary era New York and head to the Turtle launch location.
;Anjali
Anjali is a 28-year-old tech genius, exceptionally skilled with technology and computer engineering. After completing his PhD at Imperial College in London, Anjali was drawn to the underground world of the Assassin Brotherhood, where his technological expertise and keen understanding of computer systems made him an invaluable asset to the Creed.


Operating undercover in the bustling streets of London, Anjali drives a fake food truck that hides his mobile lab, fully equipped with cutting-edge technology and gadgets of his own design. While he is a skilled field operative highly adept at infiltrating secure facilities and manipulating digital networks, he prefers to operate from the safety of his van.
;Historical details
In 1775, inventor David Bushnell created a remarkable new weapon that looked more like a wooden barrel than a machine of war. Called the Turtle, it is considered the world’s first military submarine. Powered by hand and foot, the one person vessel included ballast pumps to control depth, a compass, a depth gauge, and an early screw propeller. Bushnell designed it to carry an explosive charge that could be attached to the hull of a British warship, hoping to disrupt the blockade tightening around New York. <br><br>When Bushnell fell ill, the mission fell to a young volunteer, Ezra Lee. In September 1776, after the British captured the city, Washington approved an attack on General William Howe’s flagship, the 64 gun HMS Eagle. Under cover of darkness, Lee pedaled from the Battery toward the massive warship and attempted to drill into its hull to secure the explosive. A metal plate prevented him from attaching the charge, and as he surfaced, British guards began to stir. Lee released the timed device and escaped. The explosion caused little damage, but the attempt was groundbreaking. <br><br>Though the Turtle saw limited use before being lost later that year, it marked the beginning of underwater warfare and showcased American ingenuity in desperate times.


Unfortunately for the Descendants and their Cell, Anjali is secretly a double agent for the Instruments of the First Will (see Juno’s Masterplan on page 145).
;Instructions
Objective
Take on the role of Sergeant Lee and navigate the Turtle submersible through the Royal Navy blockade to the British flagship, the HMS Eagle.


====Juno's Masterplan====
Entering
This information can be shared with the Players when the Reader deems it appropriate. For example, the Descendants might discover the details of Juno’s plan by talking to her during the Sands of War Simulation Sequence (see page 146), or they could find files in the facility’s Control Room in the first modern day Sequence. If the Reader intends to use this adventure as the first part of a longer campaign, they might decide to save the more salient details for a later adventure.
To start, approach the Turtle and tap on it to board.

Thanks to her ability to accurately predict future events, Juno set plans in motion in the early twentieth century to bring one of her many schemes to fruition a century later, using the Descendants as her unwitting dupes. Juno’s goal is to return to life and regain physical form to impose her will over humanity, restoring the order conceived millennia ago by the Isu.
;THE PERFECT MOLE
The Instruments of the First Will and the Sages (see box on page 138) are Juno’s means to put each piece in the right place at the right time. Anjali is one such Instrument, who infiltrated the ranks of the Brotherhood in 2010, faithfully serving the Creed so that he would be present at this crucial moment.
;THE SIMULATION TRAP
The kidnapping of Regina Davies is really a trap set for the Descendants. As soon as the Witnesses reach the Isu Vault in the Simulation Sequence, they are ensnared by a sophisticated program conceived by Aita when he was testing Juno’s plan to escape the catastrophe.
;JUNO’S VESSEL
While a series of glitches trap the Descendants in a labyrinth of broken Simulations, Juno intends to tap into the genetic makeup of each of them, matching it with Regina’s. These specific Descendants have a genetic disposition that makes them suitable for Juno’s plan. Over the centuries, the Sages have made it possible to store enough of Juno’s essence in the threads of Descendant DNA as if they were shreds of a living Shroud of Eden. Regina is the compatible subject, whose physical body will become a vessel inhabited by Juno’s essence transferred via the Descendants.


===Sands of War===
Movement
'''Time Frame:''' World War I
Tap the highlighted levers to access the controls. You can control the direction and propulsion with the slider.


'''Location:''' Siwa Oasis, Egypt - 1917 CE
Navigation
Use the map to track your position and the British ships.


'''Description:'''  British spy and Templar Agent Jeremiah Davies [Regina’s great-great-grandfather] ventures into the heart of a war-torn desert to infiltrate an enemy encampment. His mission: to thwart an imminent Templars and Assassins to set aside their differences and unite, if only temporarily.<br><br>Jeremiah finds himself leading an eclectic and unlikely band of allies, drawn from both Templar and Assassin ranks, along with their assorted affiliates, converging in the unforgiving desert at his command. This unprecedented alliance arises from the fracturing of Templar unity, as a faction within the Order breaks away to pursue a far more dangerous objective: the restoration of the long-lost Isu hierarchy. The Instruments of the First Will are trying to conjure the Isu Juno in a secret vault buried under the Siwa Oasis where she’s believed to be resting. A member of this faction, coming to their senses, has reached out to both Assassins and Templars begging for help to stop the plan.
Detection and hazards
Be careful to avoid hazards such as rocks and anchors from the British ships. You can check for ships and rocks on your map.


Two green armored cars cross the desert, kicking up a thick, chalky dust. In the distance, from Girba to the north-west, you hear the echoes of gunfire and explosions. The sun is just beginning to rise. Jeremiah examines a map. “We should be there by now,” he says. “The point marked on the map by our informant is nearby. The camp should be right behind those rocks over there.”
The Bomb
When you reach the British flagship, tap on the highlighted handle to activate the drill and attempt to attach the bomb.


You climb out of the vehicles and up onto the rocks where you gain a comprehensive view of the Instruments of the First Will’s encampment spread out below.
;What happens
*'''Designer:''' [start] ''Greetings, Sergeant. Board the submersible when you are ready to start your mission. The weather is good, but you will need to rely on your compass and map. Good luck!''


The camp is sizable, patrolled by hired Senussi mercenaries. There are at least five cave entrances descending into the depths of the rocks surrounding the oasis. You have no idea which one leads to the Isu Vault and you can’t afford the time for trial and error. The Captain’s tent will likely have information on the correct route. Time is, as always, not on your side.
*'''Pilot:''' [start] ''I'm glad I've got a little light from the fungi. Without that, it would be awfully dark down here.''
*'''Pilot:''' [quarter] ''Once I've sunk the British flagship, we’ll be striking a blow at the British and raising morale. I've just got to avoid detection.''
*'''Pilot:''' [half] ''I don't think I'll ever get used to these controls. Bushnell may be a genius, but this is not exactly simple.''
*'''Pilot:''' [three quarters] ''Almost there now, not much further to go.''
*'''Pilot:''' [Flagship] ''There is their flagship! Now to attach the bomb with the right hand lever.''
*'''Pilot:''' [bomb] ''Darn it all. I've succeeded in getting here but the bomb won't affix!''


====Key Objectives====
;Outcome
<tabber>
*Mission Failed!
|-|1 - REACH MEMHED DEMIR’S TENT=
**Collided with hazard
Hundreds of Senussi mercenaries are stationed inside the camp, while a few units patrol its perimeter, making it extremely hard to infiltrate. As the informant said, a large tent stands in the middle of it, the tent of Ottoman Army Captain Memhed Demir, the man in charge of the Instruments’ mission.
The Turtle struck a hazard underwater, forcing you to abandon the mission.<br><br>Despite the ingenuity of the newly created submersible, the controls were undeniably difficult to use.
 
**Alerted the British
;Challenges
The turtle got too close to the British ships, alerting them of your presence.<br><br>Despite the ingenuity of the newly created submersible, the controls were undeniably difficult to use.
*''Senussi Mercenaries''<br>The Senussi mercenaries are capable combatants, expert desert guerrillas equipped with Ottoman weaponry. Every Stealth check made to navigate the camp undetected requires 2 Raises. Openly facing the mercenaries in combat inside their camp requires 3 separate Approach checks.
**Left mission area
*''Ottoman Artillery''<br>If the Instruments of the First Will discover the Witnesses, they’ll try to stop them at all costs, even bombarding their own lines. From the moment the Ottoman artillery starts firing at the camp, the Witnesses must make a Reaction check at the end of every Approach check.
You abandoned the mission.
 
**Failed to plant bomb
;Weaknesses
Despite your best efforts, you failed to plant a bomb.
*''Expendable Losses''<br>The Ottoman artillery commanders have no qualms at killing the Senussi mercenaries to stop the Witnesses. In this case, the Witnesses might turn the tables to their advantage. If the Witnesses can convince one or more Senussi troops to switch sides, every Approach check made to face the Ottoman Artillery Challenge has 1 Free Raise.
 
|-|2 - FIND THE VAULT’S TUNNEL=
Once the Witnesses reach Captain Mehmed Demir’s tent as indicated by their informant, they find it empty. However, it’s possible to search for intelligence or traces that provide information about the location of the Isu Vault underground.


;Challenges
*Mission Succeeded!
*''Demir’s Notes''<br>A booklet contains a series of encrypted notes. With a successful Wits check with 1 Raise, a Witness can read the contents of the note and learn that the right tunnel is one of the two to the north.
**Target reached
*''Interrogation''<br>A captured mercenary might reveal information under interrogation. Nobody but Mehmed’s escort knows which of the five tunnels lead to the Isu Vault, but the mercenary often heard them complain about the “extremely low ceilings.” Since only three of the tunnels have really low ceilings, the tunnels to the south and east of the camp can be excluded. If the Witnesses have already deciphered Demir’s encrypted notes, they can identify the leftmost tunnel to the north.
You successfully navigated the hazards in the East River and reached the Flagship undetected.<br><br>However, the bomb failed to affix, you had no choice but to deploy it and abandon the mission.


;Weaknesses
;Log
*''Eagle Vision (major)''<br>If one of the Witnesses uses Eagle Vision once north of the camp, they can follow the footprints left by the captain and his escort to the left tunnel with no need to overcome the Interrogation Challenge.
I piloted David Bushnell's newly invented Turtle submersible undetected beneath the Royal Navy ships in the blockade. I came close to sinking the British flagship but the bomb didn't affix and I had to abandon my mission.

As the Witnesses enter the Isu Vault in the Simulation, they unwittingly walk into a trap. Juno’s hologram entangles Witnesses and Descendants in a cage that transcends time and space. From this moment on, the Descendants are trapped in a series of loops, time rifts, and glitches from which they might never return (see Chapter 2).
==Missing gear pages==
 
*Blackbeard's Crimson Swords
As you descend into the dark, low-ceilinged tunnel beneath the Siwa Oasis, tension fills the air. Captain Demir and his unit must be down there, somewhere. Emerging from the tunnel, you enter an unexpectedly vast chamber, the Isu Vault. The massive room is illuminated by an eerie, pulsating glow emanating from the walls. Intricate, incomprehensible, geometrical symbols and engravings cover the Vault’s surface, casting ethereal patterns across the room.
*Blades of the Damned
 
*Dark Animus Corsair Pistol Swords
At the center of the chamber is the towering hologram of a female Isu, Juno. Her form shimmers with otherworldly energy, and her eyes seem to pierce your very souls with a presence that is both enchanting and intimidating. Juno’s voice resonates through the chamber, “Finally, Assassins. I hope this memory finds you well”.
*Dragon's Fang Swords
 
*Ferraro's Rapiers
Her words are clear. Juno is speaking to you, the Descendants, inside the Animus, and not to the Witnesses you’re reliving the event through!
*Le Bourgeoys Blades
 
*Lightserver's Blades
”It pleases me that you have willingly entered my trap.” Before you can react, Demir’s soldiers emerge from their hiding places. The sinister grin on the Captain’s face tells you this was a well-planned ambush. A split second later, a virtual net spreads out from Juno’s hologram, catching you in a shocking grip.
*Masterwork Blades
 
*Naoe's Shadowblade
Electricity crackles as the net fires jolts of pain through your whole body, immobilizing you as all fades to black…
*Order of Gold
 
*Rustborne Swords
====Setbacks====
*Serpent's Fang Cutlasses
*''GRENADE! (MINOR)''<br>A mercenary tosses a grenade. The Witnesses must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*Spring-Steel Swords
*''RAISE THE ALARM! (MAJOR)''<br>The Witnesses have been spotted. The Senussi Mercenaries Challenge requires 2 additional Approach checks to be overcome. If the Senussi Mercenaries Challenge has already been completed, it must be overcome again.
*Uncrowned Prince
 
*Baldwin's Golden Pistols
==Chapter 2. Down the Rabbit Hole==
*Blackbeard's Crimson Pistols
The Isu Juno has trapped the Witnesses within the Animi network. In this chapter, the Reader presents a series of scenes representing glitches or rifts, anomalies disrupting the Sands of War memory Sequence — for example, locking the Witnesses in temporal loops, or shifting the Simulation to a different Time Frame.
*Dark Animus Corsair Flintlocks
 
*Darkworker's Pistols
These glitches can be played with the whole group of PCs as usual, or the Crew can be split into smaller groups, each of them facing a different anomaly. Be careful not to divide the party too much that it slows the game down, however.
*Diabolist's Pistols
 
*Dragon's Roar Pistols
A good rule of thumb is to end the chapter when the Crew has solved a number of glitches equal to the number of Witnesses in the Sequence.
*Fury of the Deep Pistols
 
*Gargoyle's Breath
A number of examples are provided below; however, the Reader is not restricted to these specific glitches and is encouraged to freely exploit the circumstances, incorporating fragments from any preferred Time Frame, in particular those associated with the PCs’ Ancestors (for example using one or more premade Sequences or adventure hooks taken from other Assassin’s Creed - Roleplaying Game books).
*Peaceful Means
 
*Rufino's Flintlocks
===Example Glitches===
*Rustic Flintlocks
Below are some examples of possible glitches that can be used by the Reader. All anomalies share one thing in common — they represent a disruption of the Sands of War Simulation Sequence, and thus they always start with the players’ Echoes in the Siwa Oasis, in Egypt. The Simulation appears to break down: visuals display errors, scrolling lines of codes hover on the scene, too fast to be read, and sequences of nucleotides appear randomly. The effect is unsettling for the Witnesses.
 
====Temporal Loops====
The Witnesses become trapped in repetitive cycles, reliving the same events over and over again until they manage to break free. The Reader can make very different scenes, choosing a different scope for each cycle: it can be a single action scene (like defusing a grenade) or something more complex, like reliving an assassination. Here follows a complete example.
 
;DEMIR’S SCHRÖDINGER BOX
*'''Description''': The Witnesses re-experience the scene when they enter Demir’s tent, with Senussi mercenaries on their heels. Inside the tent there is only a modern-looking metal box, clearly out of context in 1917. There is a bomb inside the box that detonates after a short countdown, killing everybody and restarting the scene. The same happens if they leave the tent — Senussi gunfire cuts them down.
*'''Solution''': The Witnesses must move the box, revealing a black hole in the ground, with shifting lines of code (a backdoor). Jumping into the hole ends the loop.
 
====SHIFTING ENVIRONMENTS====
Different settings and Time Frames within the Animi Network start to morph and blend together, creating surreal and disorienting scenarios. Below are two examples.
 
;THROUGH THE AGES
*The Witnesses are back in the Egyptian desert, but faced with various forces that have occupied this area throughout the ages. They begin fighting the Senussi Mercenaries in 1917, then Napoleonic troops in 1799, then barbaric Hyksos on scythed chariots in 1598 BC. The final shift brings them into a prehistoric jungle, escaping from a T-rex in the upper Cretaceous.
 
;THINGS FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT
*The Witnesses are in the Siwa Oasis, among the Senussi soldiers, who remain unaware of their presence. There is a time overlap and they see an enormous wave of water rushing towards them, perhaps from a prehistoric era when this area was under the sea. The wave will annihilate the camp, the only way to escape is outrunning it, by stealing an armored car or another vehicle.
 
==Chapter 3. The Mother of Wisdom’s Playground==
Juno, undeniable ruler of the Grey, has just tried to keep the Descendants in the Animus, trapping them in a maze of forced simulations to gain time to complete the final stages of a master plan conceived in eons past: the plan to come back to life. However, the PCs’ will is strong and they are focused enough to find their way out of the goddess trap.
 
Once free from the Animus, however, the characters have to deal with Regina, now possessed by the part of Juno’s conscience that the Isu managed to download from the genetic memories of the Descendants during their time trapped in the simulation. It’s time for the PCs to deal with a tremendously powerful enemy and difficult moral choices.
 
===Of Isu and Men===
'''Time Frame:''' World War I, 1917 CE, Egypt
 
'''Location:''' Siwa Oasis, Egypt - 1917 CE
 
'''Description:''' As the PCs overcome the final glitch, they find themselves back in the very place where Juno disrupted the Simulation during their initial attempt. The familiar surroundings serve as a stark reminder of the challenges they faced and the obstacles they overcame. It becomes clear that the only path forward, the only means of escaping the Animus, is to complete the memory.
 
As you emerge from the final glitch, you find yourself abruptly transported back to the Isu Vault. Before you, the familiar projection of Juno materializes, but her visage is now marked with surprise and apprehension. Her voice quivers with urgency as she declares, “This is premature! I need more time! My Instruments—halt them immediately!”
 
In that instant, urgency grips you as Demir’s armed forces swiftly advance from the Vault’s rear. Jeremiah pivots toward you, resolve etched on his features. “Handle them,” he commands, determination ringing in his voice, “while I prepare the charges!”
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
|-|1 - STOP THE INSTRUMENTS=
The soldiers raise their weapons. They must be dealt with immediately.
 
;Challenges
*''Gunners''<br>Two small groups of well-armed soldiers open fire. At least 2 separate Approach checks will be required to eliminate them all.
*''Charge!''<br>Some of the Instruments fix bayonets and charge, fighting with savage ferocity. Defeating them requires 2 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
 
;Weaknesses
*''I’ll give it back! (minor)''<br>A spare stick of Jeremiah’s dynamite will easily deal with one group of soldiers, and thus overcome one of the two Challenges with a simple throw.
 
|-|2 - ESCAPE!=
As the situation grows increasingly dire, the Witnesses are forced to flee, entrusting Jeremiah with the task of collapsing the cavern.
 
More soldiers come to the Precursor’s aid. There’s no other choice but to detonate a crate of dynamite into the cavern. With a determined fatalism, Jeremiah flicks his lighter and stands by the crate. “Go! I’ll handle it. I’d be lying if I said it’s been a pleasure. GET THE HELL OUT, NOW!”
 
;Challenges
*''Under Fire''<br>The pursuing soldiers open fire. All Witnesses must make a Reaction check.
*''Get to Safety''<br>The Witnesses must reach the exit as quickly as possible to avoid getting caught in the explosion.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Eagle Vision (minor)''<br>If one of the Witnesses uses Eagle Vision, they can find a shortcut out of the caves, overcoming the Get to Safety Challenge.
</tabber>
 
The explosion reverberates through the air, shaking the oasis and the desert beyond. Before you can ascertain whether you’ve safely evaded the blast’s reach, the Simulation begins to dissolve, unraveling before your very eyes.
 
====Setbacks====
*''FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)''<br>Bullets start flying. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*''FALLING DEBRIS (MINOR)''<br>A piece of crumbling rock falls from the ceiling. The Witness must make a Reaction check.
*''JEREMIAH IS HIT! (MAJOR)''<br>Jeremiah is hit by a stray bullet. Someone will have to help him detonate the charges. Whichever Witness helps him must add 1 additional Raise to any Approach check for the rest of the Sequence.
 
===Mother of Wisdom===
'''Location:'''Abstergo Industries Neo-Chemical and Medical Research Lab (North Harrow, London, UK)
 
'''Description:''' As the Descendants emerge from the Simulation, relief washes over them, but their respite is short-lived. A new threat awaits them outside the Animus in the form of the Instruments of the First Will. These fanatical followers are determined to seize their mistress’ vessel and eliminate the PCs.<br><br>A glimmer of hope remains. Juno, though present within Regina, has yet to fully possess her. There is still a window of opportunity to free Regina from the clutches of the Precursor and prevent Juno’s complete domination. The fate of both Regina and the Descendants hangs in the balance.
 
As you emerge from the Simulation, a cacophony of muffled voices and blaring alarms fills the lab. Your attention is immediately drawn to the shattered containment tube, fragments of glass, machinery and caustic-smelling liquid strewn across the lab floor.
 
Flashing red lights illuminate Regina crouched on the ground, her hands clasping her head in distress. Next to her stands a group of armed men. One of them is clearly in charge. “Eliminate the Assassins and take the Mother of Wisdom to safety.”
 
====Key Objectives====
<tabber>
|-|1 - DEFEAT THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE FIRST WILL=
The PCs must stop a dozen, well-armed and ready-to-fight Instruments of the First Will and prevent them from escaping with Regina. With their leader aiding Regina and preparing to leave the lab, the rest of the soldiers unleash a hail of bullets. Gunfire fills the air.
 
;Challenges
*''Heavy Firepower''<br>The Instruments of the First Will are a formidable group of zealous individuals, armed to the teeth and unwavering in their commitment to their cause. Defeating them requires 3 separate Approach checks with 1 Raise.
*''Don’t Let Them Get Away!''<br>The Instruments leader is escaping with Regina.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Exploit the Instrument’s Fanaticism (minor)''<br>The Descendants have just experienced direct contact with Juno, and may attempt to impress the Instruments — for example, one of them might pretend to be possessed by the Precursor, creating a moment of distraction. The required checks to face them are made without the 1 Raise indicated. This triggers the Juno Manifestation Setback.
 
|-|2 - FREE REGINA FROM JUNO=
The PCs must find a way to free Regina from Juno’s yoke. Either of the Challenges below make it possible to resolve the situation.
 
'''Special'''. Once Regina is fully possessed by Juno, she instantly regenerates any wounds suffered and can’t be injured or killed.
 
Regina utters a piercing scream, and a profound and unsettling transformation begins to take place. Her countenance becomes a swirling canvas of emotions, shifting rapidly from agony to seething anger, from fearful grimaces to satisfied smiles. The tumultuous battle unfolding within her threatens to eclipse the chaos reigning in the lab.
 
;Challenges
*''Restore Regina’s Will''<br>It is possible to briefly return Regina to consciousness and control of her own actions. This requires a successful Social check with 1 Raise. If successful, Regina’s conscience emerges, but her mind is scourged by the intrusion of the Isu’s consciousness, and she begs the PCs to put an end to her suffering. If they try to kill Regina, the PCs must make 2 separate Action checks with 1 Raise due to Juno’s opposition. If they fail, Juno will regain control, triggering the Juno Manifestation Setback.
*''Taunt Juno''<br>Juno’s hold on Regina might be disrupted by provoking her and causing her to overextend her powers. Instigating a distraction or triggering a situation that challenges Juno’s control may create instability in her grasp over Regina. This can be attempted with 2 separate successful Wits or Social checks with 2 Raises, but they trigger the Juno Manifestation Setback once for each check made. If the PCs overcome this Challenge, they free Regina from Juno’s control.
 
;Weaknesses
*''Pieces of Eden (minor)''<br>An Apple of Eden or a Piece of Eden capable of influencing the mind would avoid any Social checks required to call for Regina or Juno’s mind.
 
</tabber>
 
As the blaring alarms pierce the complex, their urgency underscored by the approaching wails of police sirens, the realization dawns upon you – it’s time for a hasty retreat. Your duty is clear: inform your Master Assassin of the situation.
 
====Setbacks====
*''FLYING BULLETS (MINOR)''<br>Bullets start flying. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid being injured.
*''JUNO PORTENT (MINOR)''<br>The smell of ozone fills the air as an energy beam surges from Regina. The Witness must make a Reaction check to avoid the energy bolt.
*''JUNO MANIFESTATION (MAJOR)''<br>If this Setback is triggered, one of the following Challenges must be faced right away:
**''Juno’s Rage'' Juno takes over Regina’s body and attacks one of the PCs. While Juno possesses Regina, she attacks with supernatural speed and strength. One PC is the target of her rage and must make a Reaction check with 2 Raises to dodge or parry.
**''Mother of Wisdom'' Juno releases a wave of psychic energy that will confuse everyone in the lab. All of the PCs must make a Wits check to snap out of a hallucinatory dream. For the rest of the Sequence, any check made to defeat the Instruments of the First Will has 1 free Raise.
 
==What’s Next?==
The Descendants’ mission is over, and this adventure could easily end here. However, depending on how they’ve handled things, and based on the Reader’s plans for future sessions, several doors might be left open. Some suggestions follow.
*'''Where is Anjali?''' Should the Reader wish to continue this storyline, Anjali could have easily escaped and brought all the operation data to his mentor. Is the mentor the Sage Kumar? Or maybe the Templar Álvaro Gramática, a scientist intending to sequence a full Isu genome?
*'''Has Juno’s plan been stopped for good?''' This question could have numerous answers depending on how the Descendants resolved the last Sequence. If Regina survived, who knows what effects Juno’s possession might have had. Will the Instruments of the First Will still be on her trail? Someone in the Assassin Brotherhood may have a say in this regard, finding its very existence too dangerous. If Regina died, could her DNA still hold the secret to bringing Juno back to life?
 
=Appendix=
==Pieces of Eden==
===Sword of Mars===
'''Known Owners:''' Romulus, Arthur Pendragon, Eivor Varinsdottir, Niamh of Argyll
 
'''Current Status:''' Hidden by the Women of the Mist
 
The Sword of Mars was one of the Swords of Eden, created by the Isu scientist Hephaestus to use in the fight during the War of Unification.
 
Later, the Isu Mars bestowed this powerful Piece of Eden upon the twins Romulus and Remus. With this sword, Mars aimed to counter the baleful actions of the Isu Juno, laying the foundation for a realm where humans could be free.
 
When the sword arrived in the lands of Albion, it took the name Excalibur (or Caladfwlch in Welsh). Initially held at Avalon by a Celtic clan called the Women of the Mist, the sword served as a sacred relic and played a crucial role in determining the Lady of Avalon. By the 5th or 6th century, the sword became lodged in a stone and was later pulled out by Arthur Pendragon, who used it to lead Britain against the Anglo-Saxons. After Arthur’s betrayal and death, Excalibur, considered one of the thirteen Treasures of Britain, was hidden in an Isu vault beneath Myrddin’s Cave.
 
In the late-9th century, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir claimed Excalibur, but different factions, including the Women of the Mist, the Order of the Ancients, and the Descendants of the Round Table, sought to obtain the sword. The sword had become more than a mere weapon; it symbolized control and authority over all of England under one king.
 
The Women of the Mist entrusted Niamh of Argyll to recover Excalibur and with the help of the Hidden Ones, represented by Hytham and Marcella she successfully safeguarded Excalibur and sought refuge at Valka’s. Tensions arose as the Descendants attempted to seize the sword, but Niamh, Valka, and Hytham thwarted their efforts.
 
Collaborating on a strategic plan, the trio deceived the Descendants with a replica sword, ensuring the safe return of the real Excalibur to Avalon. Niamh presented Excalibur to the Women of the Mist, confirming her destiny as the chosen Lady of Avalon. A few years later, however, the danger posed by the Descendants of the Round Table recurred, and Eivor and Niamh fought together to prevent the sword from falling into the wrong hands.
 
===Rings of Seth===
In his wisdom, Seth entrusted these artifacts to individuals driven by an unwavering need to defend what they hold dear. The rings became a means to find champions worthy of fighting evil without being corrupted by it, a covenant to safeguard the realms of light from the encroaching shadows. These artifacts grant their wearers superhuman feats and the ability to weave a dense network of illusions, transforming the owners’ appearance into inhuman and terrifying monsters. The wearer, possessing god-like abilities, is both a custodian of power and a conduit of the ancient Isu’s will.
 
====RING OF BLOOD====
'''Known Owners:''' Vlad III
 
'''Current Status:''' In Dr Zixuan Long’s possession
 
When you embrace the power of this Ring, you gain supernatural abilities and the illusory appearance of a vampire. While using the Ring, you can influence the minds of people around you. Additionally, once per Sequence, you can drink human blood to recover from Snags as if you were in a Hideout. Finally, whenever you make an Action check, you can consider up to 2 Social results as 1 additional match each.
 
====RING OF SAND====
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown
 
'''Current Status:''' Hidden inside a sarcophagus in the British Museum
 
When you embrace the power of this Ring, you gain supernatural abilities and the illusory appearance of an undead mummy. While using the Ring, you can cast visual illusions. Additionally, you can instill fear and horror in the minds of people around you. Finally, you move as swift as the sands of the desert and, whenever you make an Action check, you can consider up to 1 Stealth result as 1 additional match.
 
====RING OF MOON====
'''Known Owners:''' Unknown
 
'''Current Status:''' In Dr Zixuan Long’s possession
 
When you embrace the power of this Ring, you gain supernatural abilities and the illusory appearance of a werewolf. While using the Ring, you can benefit from an augmented perception that allows you to easily spot allies, enemies, objectives, sources of interest, and targets within a short range . Additionally, when you make a Reaction check, you can reroll up to 2 Abstergo results. Finally, you have 1 Free Raise on every Action check you make while fighting your enemies or freerunning.
