Drawn by a newspaper ad seeking two additional members for a mysterious expedition, you arrive at the Main Hall to find a large crowd of prospective candidates, including your longtime rival Hector. You and Hector are both selected and along with the three other members (a wizard, a fighter, and a thief) make the nine-day journey to the Province of Baronia where the purpose of your mission will be revealed.
Upon your arrival, the leader of Baronia explains that some evil force residing in a nearby forest known as the Darkwoods has been attacking townsfolk and abducting children. Your job is to enter the Darkwoods, free the captives, and put an end to the menace.
