House of the Damned

Darkness was gathering over Crowley Castle, casting an ominous shadow over the stone walls. Inside, Lady Eleanor, pale as death, trembled by the fireplace. Three days ago, her husband, Lord Crowley, did not return from hunting alone. There was something... different about him.

At first it was quiet noises in the corridors, the scrape of claws on stone slabs. Then there was the terrible smell of rot, which penetrated even into the most secluded corners of the castle. Lord Crowley, formerly cheerful and strong, was now acting strangely. He avoided the light, ate only raw meat, and made low, guttural growls.

Eleanor could hear him scratching at their bedroom door at night. She barricaded it, afraid to look into his crazy, bloodshot eyes. The servants disappeared one by one, and those who remained whispered about the curse that had fallen on the Crowley family. In desperation, Lady Eleanor turned to you, the exorcist, and you agreed.

The chariot stopped at the gates of Crowley Castle, and the air was filled with foreboding. You are greeted by a terrified butler who tells you about recent horrors and disappearances.

Gloomy corridors, saturated with the smell of rot, led deep into the castle. You walked on until you came to a room. Opening the door, Eleanor was sitting there, and before she could enter, she ran up to you and began to cry for help. – I beg you, help my husband, something has possessed him, this creature wants to kill everyone in this house, help! Her tears were streaming down her cheeks as she asked you for help.
