[QUOTE="arwink, post: 1097969, member: 2292"] Okay, assuming I've read that right, heres some ideas: Someone else already knows that this transfer is going on, so he shows up Van Helsing style and hunts the possessor in every incarnation. Transforming bodies doesn't necessarily mean that he changes personality. A quick search of the families timeline reveals that all the Barons have turned strangely crazed and senile before their deaths, while thier sons have become suddenly worldwise and serious within days of taking the throne. Depending on the age of the son when the transfer takes place (I'm assumintg at least early teens, if not later), then the PC's may already have met and befriended the son. When they go to visit, and he's vague or acts differently, Pc's are naturally going to be suspicious and investigate. If the process requires a ritual, they may well stumble accross the ritual chamber or some other record of the events. You might also include the ghosts of infant children here, if that's the age at which this happens. A room with dozens of murdered babies, all floating around in ghost form, should freak out anyone. The baron and the son are doing this, but I'm assuming that there are still mothers for all of these children. Assuming one of them survives after learning about the process, they may object and help PC's put a stop to it. Divine intervention - either an angel, or a demon who feels that the deal is no longer worth maintaining, lest something slip so the PC's go headhunting. [/QUOTE]
