No goal and approach was clearly articulated, so there is nothing for me to adjudicate into success, failure, or uncertainty.If you did articulate a goal and approach and I judged it to have an uncertain outcome, I would not tell you what you believe on a failed check. I would likely say you don't accomplish what you tried to do and it would thus be on you to decide what your character believes.If you then decided to believe the ghoul because your character has a personality trait, ideal, bond, or flaw that suggests gullibility or the like, your choice may be worth Inspiration.For what it's worth, that's how I'd do things. I hope this clarifies some part of my position.</blockquote>
