The Last Concert

## Story

When Daniel and company arrive at St. Cecilia's Abbey, they are shown a cold and desolate landscape. Broken down in ruins and disrepair, completely abandoned since the fated "Last Concert", any sane human being would not dare to go inside without a foolproof plan of action. But inside lies the key to the horror, the one Daniel has been so relentlessly searching for, none other than Sebastian P. Husher. Ernest Finnegan, a renowned architect and a close friend of Husher's, meets Daniel and the tale unravels quickly. Husher had asked Ernest to get him into the abbey, to which he obliged, but he also asked Ernest to not follow him into the abbey, to let him do what he came for alone. This was nothing new for Ernest, so he bade him farewell and left him there. When Husher didn't reappear for days he expected what normally happens when Husher and he go on excursions, that Husher had forgotten about him in the midst of everything and unknowingly forced him to go on a "vacation". Even after the four days had passed by he didn't think anything was wrong, after all this was normal. He never expected to find what they would later find inside the abbey.

After Ernest finishes informing Daniel of the events before Husher ended up in the abbey, Daniel tries to open the main door that enters into the balissica, but alas it doesn't work. Years upon years of neglect after the monks and other inhabitants had abandoned it in 1912 had taken it's toll on not only the door, but the entirety of the abbey itself, making the journey harder than it already is. Daniel promptly suggests that there must be other entrances to the abbey that are bound to be open, and that someone should go out and find one of those entrances while the rest continue working on the main door and hopefully gain access to the abbey. There are three other entrances in total, two due to neglect. First a drop-off into the old cloister for the first character who is picked, after they die the next character goes through a window and into the abbey's dormitories, and finally after they die the next two characters enter through a crumbled down wall into the vast cemetery. And once inside, the Presence doesn't make it easy to uncover Husher's whereabouts, find out what actually happened before and during "the last concert", and escape alive and intact.

What happened to the inhabitants of St. Cecelia's Abbey paints a tragic tale of misfortune, good people being driven to pure insanity, and their paranoia. All of these things combined that lead to their deaths and "disappearances". Many sinister things took place in the place made for pure reasons, to worship the patron saint of music, but it didn't save them from their fates. Their paranoia drove them mad, made them kill each other for insane reasons. The inhabitants started perishing quickly, there was never not an abundance of bodies. And then everything went silent when "the last concert" happened in 1912, St. Cecilia's abbey disappeared quickly from everyone's minds and it lay forgotten. The characters find a door with four locks that is not like the door Daniel was trapped behind in the Husher's mansion, and it is clear as day to them that it is what is separating them from Husher.

They explore the abbey and come upon the four keys belonging to the Prior, the Librarian, the Treasurer, and the Abbott. One of them being located inside of someone's remains. But as they are about to unlock the door, Daniel comes up the stairs and insists on being the one to go through the door, into Elsewhere, after all he did it before. They reluctantly agree, unless Daniel was the one who unlocked the door, then the above did not happen, and Daniel enters the door to find a seemingly normal hallway located somewhere in the abbey. Piles of bodies litter some of the rooms, showcasing the sinister events that took place at the abbey.

As Daniel navigates Elsewhere he finds Husher, but not in the way he wanted to find him. Husher is dead and laying on the floor, as he had been for days. Daniel begins doubting if he can even save himself and any others from the cursed music box, as everyone around him keeps dying from the Presence's actions. As he exits the room, he is faced with an endless hallway, there isn't even anything outside of the windows dotting the walls. After trying to enter a few rooms, with no luck, Daniel enters a room with a floor of blackened bones, with several crosses hanging on the ceiling and a mirror at the end. When Daniel approaches the mirror, he watches a desperate black eyed him slit his own throat, much to Daniel's shock. After leaving that room and trying a few more doors, Daniel enters a room that is an office in some type of hospital. Sitting at the desk is both Ariadne LeGrant-Amsberg and a female doctor Berenice Prestegard, with the latter being in a white coat. On her desk is the diary of Argos LeGrant, the music box's original owner and creator. Daniel grabs it before exiting the room and finding himself back where he started, much to his relief. Daniel and anyone alive talk and search for any other dead characters before leaving the abbey behind them.

Back at his apartment, Daniel worries about the future, how much time he has left to solve the mystery before everything comes spiraling down on top of him. He wants to burn the blasted music box, rid it from the world permanently, but he realizes the repercussions of such a rash action and remembers that Ariadne possesses the music box, he realizes she could be the key to figuring out how to put a stop to the horror. Daniel thinks about reading the diary, but decides that he is too tired at the current moment. The episode finishes with Daniel hoping that his nightmares are less horrible than reality.
