Summary
It’s all fun and games until someone accuses a wolf of murder. In this episode, the crew gears up for their next RPG session in the world of Vaesen, diving deep into character creation, game mechanics, and some hilariously offbeat tangents. As they prepare to upgrade their in-game headquarters (because every adventurer needs a killer base), they stumble upon a mystery more tangled than a dice bag after game night.
Enter Carl Leifson, whose letter pleading for justice for his murdered father kicks the adventure into high gear. Is it a simple case of clearing a name, or does the legend of the Church Grim—a spectral wolf with a flair for drama—add a supernatural twist? The group debates clues, puzzles over mysterious deaths, and theorizes about Father Gustav’s role while sipping imaginary ales in a bustling pub. Secrets spill, alliances form, and someone definitely makes a terrible pun about “grave” matters.
The investigation heats up with a trip to the mortician (because where else do you go when chasing murder mysteries?) and a deep dive into some church financial records. What they uncover? Accounting so meticulous it makes modern spreadsheets jealous—and a few discrepancies that point to shady dealings. Will Carl’s father’s name be cleared? Will Father Matthias turn out to be friend, foe, or something in between? And most importantly, will the group ever stop arguing over whether or not their wolf-themed theories hold water?
Tune in for laughs, lore, and the occasional existential crisis as our adventurers tackle a mystery that’s part ghost story, part detective drama, and all chaotic energy.
