The Cursed Chateau "Bad Ending"

The Cursed Chateau has an interesting background story that I wanted to reveal to the players. I think that places and NPC details that are in a book but can be playable, are almost a waste of time to a Referee.

I have no advice for an experienced Referee. Everything went like a regular roleplaying where the you recreate NPC actions and dialogs to make sense in the emerging context, and PC makes guesses, suggestions, and ultimately they discover the story behind (or not). Sometimes, they create new details and are convinced about them, and that makes the recap even better, in our case: they concluded that GUILHÈM was MIQÈL and YSABEL son, and the old JÒRGI was trying to create and escape for the mother when everything went nuts.

Our adventure ended at the SANCTUM, since players had to go to their homes, and I wanted to close the scenario. So, we checked how much Joudain's Fun they have: 77. They touched Joudain's ring trying to claim it's domain possession rolling 1d100 for 77%. Sadly, they failed and they were consumed by the curse and became undead.

I was very pleased with my own ruling and enjoyed the adventure a lot.
