Vaesen RPG adventure: A Vaesen Hangover

The adventure begins with the player characters (PCs) waking up in a restored castle in Upsala with a severe hangover and no memory of the previous night. The wedding rings are missing, and they discover a Bengal tiger in the bathroom and a talking fairy, who gives them a cryptic riddle about a missing ring and a physician. An investigation of the room reveals a handwritten note on a physician's stationery, which mentions care instructions for a missing tooth, congratulations on a marriage, and that one of the player characters is now in possession of the wedding ring.

As the players leave the castle, they are approached by a valet who brings them a horse-drawn wagon from the "Upsala Police Department". A troll named Warby, covered in mud and angry from being locked up all night, falls from the back of the wagon and attacks. The players cannot defeat the troll but can get it to retreat as the sun rises, turning it to stone. With a clue from the fairy and the note, the players are encouraged to visit the doctor's office, which is in a local district of Upsala. The doctor, a Vaettir who sees to the health of the Vaesen in the district, reveals that the group came in the night before, and in their drunken stupor, traded a tooth as a partial payment for their rings. The doctor reveals that the wedding ceremony was performed by a reverend at a chapel for a "mixed" marriage.

The players then go to the chapel to find the reverend, who is a werewolf, as nightfall approaches and the moon rises. The reverend, who is impatient and tries to rush them out, reveals that a girl named Frau Holle works at a troll-run casino and might know more. After their meeting, the reverend transforms into a werewolf and attacks the party. The party then goes to the casino, where they meet the troll, Warby, who tells them that they lost the wedding ring in a gambling debt and that it is located in a treasure room under the fireplace. However, when they access the room, they discover the ring is gone, and the troll reveals that the owner of the casino, an Ash Tree Wife named Gwenhwyfar, has it. The adventure ends as the players go to a glade to confront Gwenhwyfar, who reveals that a player character traded the ring for jewels. The players' actions will determine if they can recover the ring and make it to the wedding in time.
