Editing Abbot Francisco (section)

==Story==
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 8}} 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 8}} 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 8}} in the abbot's chambers and promptly decide to throw them in the dungeons, believing them to be criminals even against Abbot Francisco's protestations.

[[Angelo]] then springs the {{Party 8}} from their jail cells, having knocked out the templar in charge of guarding them by putting sleeping powder in his meal, 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 8}} 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. 

The following day, a funeral is held for Abbot Francisco amidst rain and the {{Party 8}} is cleared of any suspicion of wrongdoing by [[Marcello]]. He orders his half-brother to join them on their quest to pursue Dhoulmagus. However, [[Angelo]] states that he'll join for the sake of Abbot Francisco, who was like a father to him, not because of [[Marcello]]'s orders.
