The scroll

The scroll is a minor MacGuffin in the In Search of the Scarlet Griffin series. It features a map, showing the location of The Scarlet Griffin, and thus was needed by BSoD's Gang to realize their plan regarding the artifact, as well as Spyman's Cosmos, which wanted to stop the villains. It was hidden for ages under the Château du Fassberg in Belgium.
== History ==
After seven French knights went on a secret crusade to find The Scarlet Griffin, at the end of the 13th century, they created a map leading to the artifact, which was put on the scroll. However, when they learned of the Griffin's true, very destructive power, they got terrified of it and decided it should never be found by anyone to prevent anyone being corrupted because of the unlimited power. While one knight was left on the location to guard the Griffin, the six others came back to their homeland and soon established Château du Fassberg, built above a huge underground system of caves. There, they left the scroll, so it would never be found and lived the rest of their lives in the château.
In 2018, the scroll became the target of BSoD's Gang, which got interested in ancient artifacts, especially the Griffin. While at first it was Commander Bus and Dr Rex, who were supposed to go and get the scroll, the former hired two robbers - Tobias Sanders and Larry Mealey - to do the job for them, as they were the best in the brand. However, Spyman's Cosmos was also interested in it, after they received a message from Phil's friend Jenny Brown, who ordered them to find The Scarlet Griffin before the evil gang would. The heroes managed to find the scroll first, but they were soon approached by the thieves, with Tobias taking it temporarily and threatening to kill Phil. However, being distracted by his friend, Spyman's Cosmos used that and escaped with the scroll to soon find themselves over an underground ravine. There, Phil learned the location of the Griffin, in case the scroll was taken away from them, which actually happened, when Commander Bus and Dr Rex arrived, being called by Larry. Threatening to kill Jenny, Phil was forced to give the map away and the villains left with it, being one step ahead of the Cosmos.
It was later brought to Nisipoulis island, which it spoke of, as it also contained the spell used to grant one the power of The Scarlet Griffin. Jack Jester translated it into phonetic ancient Greek and Spy was forced to read it, when he became BSoD's Gang prisoner.
