A Grim Tale

Is your kingdom running low in the money department? Take a leaf out of Queen Amanda's book and begin rounding up all the adventurers. Paying those rewards is a big drain which can be easily fixed by simply making the trade of being an adventurer a crime worth a life sentence in the royal dungeons.

Being rudely awakened by the guards in the royal city of Berylustyr, the white mage, Gary, is issued a quest by her highness, Queen Amanda, to help a mentally disturbed man in a far away village. Along the way, he finds a talkative black mage, and shortly after, a knight and warrior monk join the fray, having taken up a post to find a missing prince, from a notice board at a pub... If this guy is royalty, then why didn't the Queen announce this publicly?
