Abbot Francisco: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

As Angelo explains his backstory to [[King Trode]] at the [[Riverside Chapel]], he first came to Maella Abbey as a boy after his mother and father died as a result of the plague. He was immediately met with scorn by Marcello once he realized who the boy was, believing that his half-brother had come along to ruin his life once again. Abbot Francisco, who had witnessed the encountered, was saddened and attempted to comfort the young boy.

When the party returns to the abbey to give Angelo his templar's ring back, Abbot Francisco is said to be holding an audience with a jester. Despite their concern, the templars guarding the Abbot's residence refuse them entry without Marcello's permission. Angelo, sensing an evil presence from the jester, asks the party to journey through the [[Ruined Abbey]] to ensure that the Abbot is still safe since he is being punished. They make their way to a secret passage that leads to the Abbot's quarters and discover Dhoulmagus about to attack a sleeping Francisco, but he disappears at the last minute. Marcello and the templars discover the party in the abbot's chambers and promptly decide to throw them in the dungeons, believing them to be criminals against Abbot Francisco's protestations.

Angelo then springs the party from their jail cells, having knocked out the templar in charge of guarding them by putting sleeping powder in his ~~mail~~, then leads them to a secret passage in the dungeons that takes them back to the Abbot's residence. He explains that he trusts the party even though they just met since their presence earlier helped keep Francisco safe from the evil jester. When they reach outside, they find that the bridge leading to the Abbot's residence has been set on fire and the templars guarding it are nowhere to be found. Angelo and the party force their way inside the locked door, finding most of the templars inside mortally wounded already.

They find Dhoulmagus inside already with Marcello and Abbot Francisco. The jester is able to effortlessly flick away the captain then sets his sights on the Abbot. The Abbot is fearless in the face of the villain and has already accepted his death, believing that the Goddess will protect him from any harm if it is not his time to die. King Trode enters the scene and confronts Dhoulmagus, demanding him to lift the curse place on him and Princess Medea. Dhoulmagus then mocks the cursed king and readies his scepter above his head and hurls it like a javelin. In the ensuing chaos, the jester murders the Abbot in one fell swoop and gloats over his victory before making his escape into the night sky.
