History syas that in 1479, the evil Squire Helfyre's

vicous dominance of the village of loxton came

abruptly to an end. The townsfolk had had

enough - over the preceding 40 years, Helfyre

had cause many dark things to happen.

Late one winters night, the populace marched on

Helfyre's castle, dragging Him from his bed,

swiftly decapitating him then burning the

mutilated and lifeless corpse.



How were the simple townsfolk to know that he

would live on? Helfyre's faithful manservant

recovered most of the charred remains and laid

them in a secret tomb, from where Helfyre would

carry on his black arts in the guise of a hideous and

all powerful DEATH DEMON . . .



Now, on the eve of the 200th anniversary of that

terrible night, you the BLADE WARRIOR must

reuinite Helfyre's missing skill with ther rest of his

remains to finally lay the Demon to rest. The

townsfolk will at last be released from their

seemingly endless nightmare.



Go now, BLADE WARRIOR, for it is ten minutes to

the witching hour - you must complete your

mission before the church clock strikes the hour

and an unholy orgy of violence and destruction is

released . . .
