After an evil jester called Dhoulmagus seized a legendary sceptre, he used it to cast a spell on the castle from where he took it. This turned King Trode into a troll-like creature, his daughter Princess Medea into a horse, and his subjects into brambles. The kingdom was also frozen in time. You play one of the King's guards who was the only person to survive the terrible event. You set off with King Trode, Princess Medea and a reformed bandit named Yangus to track down the nasty jester. He is now a complete madman, roaming the kingdom, and killing anyone he comes across. Two other characters, named Jessica and Angelo, join your group united by the common goal of bringing Dhoulmagus to justice.
