During character creation, you choose your class from four options: knight, barbarian, paladin, and sorceress. Recovering one of the game's artifacts-and a map piece. In anticipation of this, Arech has buried it and divided the map into 25 pieces, trusting 17 to his followers and 8 with 'artifacts of power.' The player's quest is to use the map pieces to find the Sceptre within a time limit, defeating as many of Arech’s minions as he can, and amassing the highest score that he can, along the way. But Maximus has at his disposal a Hero, 'recently returned from the conquest of a ferocious, evil dungeon,' who he has tasked with the recovery of the Sceptre. Urthrax uses his magic to open a portal so that Arech can enter the king's throne room, grab the Sceptre, and teleport away.Īs per the prophecy, the evil powers sit back to wait for King Maximus to sicken and die, at which point Arech plans to place Urthrax on the throne. His mage ally, Magus Deathspell, summons King Urthrax Killspite from the netherworld. It would be like calling a human warrior 'Chester Two-Arms.') Through the discovery of an ancient tome, Arech learns that to conquer Maximums, he'll need to ally with a demon king and steal the Sceptre. (Side note: isn't that kind of a lame sobriquet for a dragon? You would think that 'dragon breath' would be a given for a dragon. He is opposed by a motley crew of evil powers led by a dragon named Arech Dragonbreath. The game takes place in a world called the Four Continents, ruled by King Maximus, who maintains peace and order via an artifact called the Sceptre of Order.
