Many months after the Knights of Camelot set forth to find the Holy Grail, a dark cloud 
that was flayed by many luminous bolts of blue lightning appeared over the small town of 
Alder.

From the cloud emerged a dark, cloaked stranger. She demanded an audience with King Arthur 
Pendragon, wanting to know the location of I, Great Merlin The Wizard, to absorb my power.

I was on a secret mission at the time and Arthur told her so. Believing him to be lying 
the stranger revealed herself as Crania, an evil she-wizard from beyond the plains of 
dreams and threatened Arthur with death unless he told her of my whereabouts.

Arthur grabbed Excalibur and swung it at her in a deadly arc. She foresaw this and 
disappeared to avoid the blow then reappeared behind him.

Before he could act, she had cast a cowardly spell of dreams.

Now Castle Camelot is transformed into a dark evil fortress, inside whose walls are hidden 
Brave King Arthur and his sword Excalibur. There they will stay unless I surrender all my 
magical powers unto her.

I Merlin, set you your quest . . .

Enter the Castle,
Find Excalibur,
Slay the she-wizard,
And rescue Good King Arthur, disposing of any evil creatures along the way.

Remember It's up to you!
