Introduction

THE HANGOVER A Rat Queens adventure for 3rd-level characters The evening started out with the greatest intentions. A few relaxed pints, lively conversation, and a good old-fashioned bar brawl. When the fisticuffs came, they were with a visiting noble named Sir Dandeleone of Lavender, a middling minor knight from a family of no consequence. All things being equal, it should have been a classic dust-up, forgotten by the morning. But no. Things escalated. Written by Kurtis J.

The Hangover 1 Adventure Setup This adventure follows the aftermath of an insane night of booze and general f--king debauchery. The four characters—Betty, Violet, Dee, and Hannah—started out the previous evening with the greatest intentions. A few relaxed pints, lively conversation, and (if the stars aligned) a good old-fashioned bar brawl. When the fisticuffs came, they were with a visiting noble named Sir Dandeleone of Lavender, amiddling minor knight from a family of no consequence. All things being equal, it should have been a classic dust-up, forgotten by the morning. But no. Things escalated. When the noble realized he was about to face embarrassment at the hands ofa group of rowdy peasants, he took matters into his own hands and sent his armed guards to deliver resolution. Rather than face the consequences of beating a noble to near death, the characters all fled out the back door, robbing an unsuspecting ale carter of his cargo, wagon, and horses, then tearing off into the night. Remember how I said it escalated? Well, this is the point when things REALLY escalated. After a series of chaotic encounters, the crew wakes up in the middle of unfamiliar woods, next to a shattered wagon, with a figure hogtied hanging from a tree, and sitting next to a large, moaning wooden chest. This is “The Hangover.” The Rat Queens The players will be assuming the role of the eponymous Rat Queens—a band of college-age female adventurers in an original fantasy setting established in the comic of the same name. Rat Queens is a comedic series that often lovingly pokes fun at the tropes found in high fantasy fiction. As such, this adventure embraces the absurd, the hilarious, and the crude. You have been warned.

Violet: An honor-bound dwarf warrior descended from a noble line of artificers, Violet has abandoned her traditions and home to find her own way. Dee: Having escaped the deranged cult of N’Rygoth (a reality squid god), human cleric Dee has left behind the
