 INTRODUCTION
The waves lapped at her legs, the warm sea water pulling her farther out to sea. The wedding dress soaked
through, weighing down her limbs and dragging her down. She coughed as her lungs sucked in water. She knew
she deserved this. He had caught her, and now her life was ruined. There was no coming back from this. No one
would ever love her again. As she dipped below the waves, she smiled to herself, accepting her fate.

Then something happened she had not expected. A small voice spoke in her head: “I love you no matter what you
do, mama.”

She spun around, in shock. She struggled to swim, but the waves were too large, the dress too heavy, dragging her
to the murky depths.

 Keeper's Secret
Seven years ago, on June 14, 2015, a young bride to be, Molly Clark, had a fling the night before her wedding,
and her fiancé, Bradley Watts, caught them. He was so upset he called off the wedding and took an early flight
home. Wracked with anger and guilt, Molly put on her wedding gown and walked into the Caribbean Sea and
drowned herself as well as the unborn baby she didn’t realize she carried.

The spirit of La Llorona noticed a mother drowning herself and her child. She took young Molly’s spirit into
her, molded her, and shaped her into the Vengeful Nightmare (La Pesadilla Vengativa) she is today. It took La
Llorona seven years to drive Molly insane, to drive her to despise and blame the man that rejected her. Now,
Molly is ready to seek vengeance on those who wronged her, who drove her to commit her mortal sin—it was
time to kill.

Every year on the anniversary of her death, La Pesadilla Vengativa will appear for seven days and seek
vengeance. Her victims are all men who are soon to marry, for they most closely represent the fiancé who
spurned her. Her vengeance satisfied, she will return to the watery depths while the suffering and hate build in
her until she rises once more.

Molly intends to make her victims suffer. When she picks a target, she visits them for two to three nights before
killing them. She will appear to them while they sleep, awakening them in a state of sleep paralysis, unable to
move or speak. Molly’s spirit is wearing a wet wedding dress and is invisible to all except her victim. Anyone
watching will not see her until her claws materialize before scratching the victim’s face. The first night, she
scratches one side of their face, the second night she scratches the other, leaving their eyes red and bloodshot.
On the third or fouth night, she breathes water into their lungs for the kill.

No matter what the victim does to stay awake, it

will not work. When she arrives, the
temperature in the room will drop dramatically
and everyone in the room will fall asleep.
Because she is out of phase, digital recording
devices will record only noise. Note that this
noise stops when she is brought into the
material world using the chant provided by
Carmen.

This adventure is a modern-day horror game for

four to six investigators. While a variety of
characters could take part, pre-generated
investigators are provided in the back of the
book, and the scenario is written for those to be
used. If the pre-generated investigators are not
used, certain equipment, skills, and items they
possess should be made available to the players
for them to be successful.

Setup
The game begins on June 17, 2022, with the investigators arriving at the Cancun airport at roughly the same time
for a mutual friend’s destination wedding at the El Dorado Royale. The five-star hotel sits on the Caribbean Sea
of the Mexican Riviera. The wedding is to take place in four days. When the investigators arrive, the spirit has
already been stalking her victims for three nights and killed the first of her victims the night before they arrive.

The investigators provided are college friends who have finished college and gone their separate ways. They are
comfortable with each other, but it has been almost four years since they last got together. Most of them assume
this is their last final fling before life completely takes over. While they should know each other’s backgrounds,
they probably don’t know what they have been up to for the past few years.

If the players aren’t using the pre-generated investigators, scene 1 includes a 45-minute drive from the airport to
the resort, which is a perfect time for the players to introduce their characters and get to know each other. The
only requirement is that they all know the groom to be.

The investigators must figure out what is going on and why. The only way to slay the vengeful spirit is to
perform several steps. First, they must draw it from the ethereal world into the material world. They can do this
via a spell they receive from one of the maids at the resort. Second, they must remove the spirit’s vengeful armor
by having the one she seeks vengeance on forgive her. In this case, it is her ex-fiancé, Bradley Watts, who is in a
city in the United States. There are several ways for this to be accomplished. Then, they must inflict enough
damage to kill the spirit and save their friend.

Keeper’s Note
A note on the use of cell phones
during the game. In this particular
game, not only is looking up
information on a player’s phone
allowed, it is encouraged. Allow them
to delve into the movies, wikis, and
legends of La Llorona, Mara, night
terror, and more. There will come a
time when cell service is removed
during the game, at which point the
players should put their phones away.
If they use the gear provided, they can
set up their own Wi-Fi hotspot and
continue their investigations. If they
don’t do this, have the character with
the gear make an Idea roll to remind
them they have the gear. If they find
some interesting nugget that sounds
really cool, feel free to incorporate that
and let them use their imaginations to
help solve the investigation.

by the opulence of the marble floors, the ornate
columns, and the huge, gently burbling fountain. Two
large banners pronounce weddings with pictures of a
couple on each. The first has the names of Robert
and Dawn, while the second has Jim and Amber.

Spanish, “Poor dude died of a heart attack.”

barely visible and are fading as they watch. If they press on his chest, salt water will spill from his mouth.

With a Hard success on a social skill roll plus a bribe, the investigators will be allowed to enter the room, but they
will find nothing out of the ordinary. There are clothes and other sundries, but no further clues.

The next day, Carmen will seek out the investigators to ask how things went, because there were three more
deaths the night before. If the investigators tell her what happened, she will be genuinely shocked that the plan
did not work. She will claim that the only thing she could think to do at this point is to contact her abuela, her
grandmother, but with the internet and cell service down, she believes this impossible.

If the investigators have set up their own satellite Wi-Fi and let Carmen use it, she will contact her abuela with a
video call. Her grandmother speaks only Spanish, but Carmen can translate.

She will insist all the investigators call her Abuela, as everyone does. Abuela will say that if the ritual was
performed correctly, and they are sure their attacks struck true and yet did not successfully harm the spirit, then
they are dealing not with La Llorona, but with La Pesadilla Vengativa, a vengeful nightmare. Such spirits are so
wrapped up in their guilt, hatred, and need for vengeance that nothing can pierce them. The only way to defeat it
is for whomever she wronged to forgive her. This may weaken her enough that she may be put to rest.

 Appendix: Hints to Run Horror at El Dorado Royale
The main module steps though the scenario as it usually runs, but since the players can go anywhere in the resort,
the Keeper needs to be prepared for these locations. These might include the chapel, the infirmary, multiple
restaurants, the cabanas, bars, the beach, and the lobby office. Descriptions of each of these are provided at the
end of this appendix. First are some general guidelines to follow when running Horror at El Dorado Royale.

The resort is a beautiful stretch of paradise on the Mexican Riviera. Whenever possible, emphasize the white
sands, the palm trees, the manicured lawns, and the beautiful people at the resort. It is an adults-only resort, so
except at parties and special events it is a very peaceful, quiet place to relax. The staff are extremely helpful, and
most speak some broken English. Guests can’t walk down a path for more than a minute or two without having a
golf cart pull up to offer them a ride. There are multiple bars everywhere in the resort, and one never has to wait
long for a drink. Beyond drinking and swimming, there are numerous activities at the resort such as horseback
riding, a spa, shopping, beach volleyball, tennis, a fitness gym, and more. Some activities, such as touring Mayan
ruins, sailing on a catamaran, scuba diving, or snorkeling, require guests to leave the resort as an excursion.

When dealing with the staff, they are always helpful, and appreciate a good tip. A tip will always increase the
chances of success when making social skill rolls (Persuade, Charm, or Fast Talk). A Hard roll becomes Regular, a
Regular roll gains a bonus die. The tip should be appropriate for the request being made (i.e., $5 to $10 for them
to “look the other way” and $20 for them to break rules). The exception to the rule is if they are talking to the
head of the police—he will not accept a bribe.

No one goes out into the ocean from the beaches of El Dorado Royale. There are dozens of concrete trapezoids
littering the coast, about 20 to 30 feet offshore. They are about 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide at their base. These
blocks are to save the beaches during a hurricane. The storms use most of their energy moving these huge blocks
close to shore, and so after a hurricane the blocks must be moved back out. This takes a lot of time and planning.
The blocks are currently close to shore, and there are signs scattered around the resort telling guests what they are.

When dealing with other guests, there is a chance they do not speak English. Travelers from all over the world
come to the resort, so the investigators should have to pass a Luck roll with advantage when talking with random
people not listed in the adventure. Most people there do speak English, so if someone fails on the first roll, the
next person they talk to probably does speak English.

If the investigators search for past deaths at the El Dorado, they will find four:
• 2000 – Emilio Sancho, died in a construction accident.
• 2015 – Molly Clark, drowned in the ocean.
• 2017 – Conner Bailey, found listless in a pool. There were suspicions of a drug overdose.
• 2021 – Elijah Snow, died of a heart attack.
If they bring up the articles about these deaths, provide them with handouts 4 through 7, accordingly.

Bars: It’s tough to walk more than 50 feet without running across a bar. They are almost always the same. There
will be one to two bartenders, and they serve drinks fast. The drinks are not watered down, but not overly strong
either. There will be from zero to 10 (roll 2d6 -2) other people at the bar, depending on the size. There will rarely
be a wait to order a drink.

19
Bars fall into three categories:
• Walk-up bars that have no sitting area. Some people will stand around there drinking, but it is designed to get
drinks and go.
• Swim-up bars also have no sitting area, though pools adjacent to bars will have a pool seat.
• Combination bars that also serve food. These will have an area to sit and eat.

The Beach: This is a beautiful, white sand beach that is great for walks and games of beach volleyball, but most
people hang out by the pools. There are usually a few people lying on the beach, but not many.

Cabanas: There are plenty of these scattered along the beach. They consist of two thick-cushioned lounge chairs
or two hammocks along with a table for drinks. They can be reserved, or people can just use them if they find
them empty. The sides can be untied to close it off like a tent, or pulled back and tied to the four legs for a
canopy.

Chapel: This is a rather small building about 15 feet wide and 25 feet deep. There is a locked closet in one corner
that holds a Catholic priest’s ceremonial garments, holy oil, and Bible. At the back of the room are two small
finger bowls about half full of holy water. There is only one cross in the chapel. It is wood and is 4 feet tall. The
chapel is almost always empty. If a priest is requested, then one will be sent from a nearby church. If one is
requested after the resort is sealed, then one will not be available.

Club House: This larger building has a stage. The day after the investigators arrive, there will be a Michael
Jackson impersonator performing a concert with all his biggest hits.

Infirmary: This small clinic near the resort lobby is bustling in the mornings, as four to five men will show up
every day looking for something to help clear their eyes. Everyone in the infirmary has the red eye or eyes, and if
questioned with a successful social skill will say he has been having the dreams. Once someone talks, they will all
share that they are having the same dream. If the investigators question the physician assistant on staff, he will tell
them that bloodwork on the victims has not found any viral or bacterial infections, and nothing contagious. If a
Hard social skill roll is made, he will tell them the first victim died from his heart just stopping, and his lungs were
full of salt water.

Lobby: The lobby is full of a variety of staff ready to assist guests. There is a waitress with mimosas, the check-in
clerks, and the concierge. They will tow the company line unless an Extreme social skill roll is made. A $10 bribe
reduces the difficulty to Hard, and a $20 reduces the difficulty to Regular. A $50 bribe will grant a bonus die.
Depending on when they’re doing the questioning, investigators can learn that one person died the day they
arrived, three died on the second day, and nine people die on the third, all in the same manner.

Lobby Office: The resort manager works out of the lobby office during daylight hours, until the resort is shut
down. Anyone can walk in, but the manager will be of very little use after the shutdown, saying only that the
police are handling things. They will also not refund anyone any money for the resort with anything short of a
critical success social skill roll. Bribes will not work on the manager.

After the resort is shut down, the police take over the office and the officer in charge can be found in the office.
Bribes will not work on the captain, though the regular police will take a bribe if it is at least $20. There will be a
guard outside the office, and a Hard Charm, Persuade, or Fast Talk roll is needed to get by them. The captain has
left the guards orders that none of the guests are to get in.

20
If they do get in, the captain will say they have it handled. It will take an Extreme social skill roll for him to listen
to them. If they have video proof of the ghost, then he will assist them on a Regular social skill. On a Hard
success or better with a video, he will let his officers help out during the final encounter.

Náay Fitness Center and Spa: During the day, this area is used for stretching and yoga. Body treatments may
include sauna, whirlpool, jet bath, steam room, massage, mud bath, salt scrub, seaweed body wraps, and clay or
herbal body masks. Appointments required. There is an extra charge for these services.

April 15, 2000

The newest resort along the Caribbean Riviera started off on the wrong foot yesterday as a construction worker
died in an accident. Paramedics responded quickly to the call, but despite their best efforts they were unable to
revive the worker. Emilio Sancho was pronounced dead at the scene.

The following investigation determined that no foul play was involved, and that this was simply an unfortunate
accident. Emilio is survived by his wife and three children.

June 17, 2015
Two days ago, a body of a woman was discovered washed ashore at the five-star El Dorado Royale Resort. She
has been identified as Molly Elizabeth Clark from Nevada City, California in the United States. She was
vacationing at the exclusive resort when her fiancé, Bradley Watts, also of Nevada City, had to return home. She
had stayed another day before the tragedy. The deceased was wearing a wedding dress.

Handout #6
Jan 23, 2017
Within hours of arriving at the El Dorado resort, Conny Bailey was dead. And yet, the swim-up bar at the
Mexican resort from which his body was pulled, listless, was full of young tourists last month. It wasn’t surprising.
It was a typical scene at an all-inclusive five-star resort where foreigners from both sides of the equator flock to
escape their cold winters.

But as he watched, an attorney hired by Bailey’s family noticed the behavior of both the tourists and the staff.
“They serve alcoholic drinks of bad quality and great volume,” he wrote in his native Spanish. The final cause of
death of the 20-year-old native Wisconsin was ruled as drowning.

Handout #7
Nov 1, 2021
The Mexican Caribbean is known for its mesmerizing aqua blue water and beautiful white sand beaches. Though
it never ceases to look like paradise, bad things happen here just like anywhere else. A tourist was recently found
dead in his hotel room at the El Dorado Royale. The cause of death is currently unknown.

The tourist, Elijah Snow, 41 years old, was found around noon by his travel companion, with whom he shared a
room. The deceased was found lying in bed, lifeless, by the roommate upon his return to the hotel room, at which
time he notified the hotel, and they contacted the authorities.

Cryptid Entry
La Llorona
La Llorona (American Spanish: [la ya-rona]; "The Weeping Woman" or "The Wailer") is a Hispanic-American
mythical vengeful ghost who is said to roam waterfront areas mourning her children whom she drowned.

Early colonial texts provide evidence that the lore is pre-Hispanic, originating in the central highlands. However,
La Llorona is commonly associated with the colonial era and the dynamic between Spanish conquistadores and
Indigenous women. The most common lore about La Llorona includes her initially being an Indigenous woman
who murdered her own children, which she bore from a wealthy Spaniard, after he abandoned her.

The earliest documentation of La Llorona is traced back to 1550 in Mexico City. But there are theories about her
story being connected to specific Aztec mythological creation stories. "The Hungry Woman" includes a wailing
woman constantly crying for food, which has been compared to La Llorona's signature nocturnal wailing for her
children.

La Pesadilla Vengativa (the vengeful nightmare) is often confused with La Llorona. She is a deadly
manifestation that returns to Earth driven by guilt and anger. This spirt takes 7 years to manifest but is also tied to
a woman killing her children and herself by drowning.

La Llorona is sometimes conflated with La Malinche, the Nahua woman who served as Hernán Cortés's
interpreter and also bore his child. He then stole the child and killed her. La Malinche is considered both the
mother of the modern Mexican people and a symbol of national treachery for her role in aiding the Spanish. She
is known to steal children and attack anyone in her way.

Biography:
Matt was a linebacker for the Lewisville Fighting Farmers in Lewisville, Texas and made all-state. He got a full
ride to OU, where he met his friends. He bonded especially well with Leo, with whom he could totally just
hang. Matt had always been a ladies’ man. Matt was just skating through college, taking easy courses with no
particular degree plans, but was projected as a third- or fourth-round draft pick for the NFL. Then in a game
against Bama, someone chop-blocked his knee and it exploded. Doctors spent 8 hours pulling bone fragments
out and rebuilding the knee. He missed the draft.

Matt fell into depression, gained weight, and considered suicide. His brother helped him get through it with
the aid of a therapy dog he bought for him. Matt is working as an assistant coach at a high school in
Oklahoma City, and he’s considering going back to finish his degree. At 6'3" and 270 pounds, he is mostly
muscle. Matt is very much a libertarian and believes the government should stay the hell out of his life. Matt
loved the OU social club. He felt the happiest while he was there, where he could let his guard down and
didn't feel like he had to be the tough guy.
