Premise
From the introduction:
It was another dull, boring night at the Main Hall. It had been a long time since your last adventure. The tedium had stretched your taut nerves to the breaking point. Your adventurous spirit cried out for action. After a bitter quarrel with your lover, you decided to have a few drinks with friends (those few still speaking to you). While at the bar you made two grave mistakes. The first mistake was overindulging in Hyperborean mead, the favorite drink of your friend Conan, the Cimmerian. Your second mistake was insulting Hokas Tokas, the resident wizard of the Main Hall.
There he stood, the cheekbones above his snow-white beard red with rage. But the cold look in his pale, violet eyes turned your blood to ice.
"Sam," said Hokas in low, measured tones; "although a great warrior, you are a selfish, self-centered fool! Only my sense of honor and discipline prevent me from striking you dead where you stand. Instead, I will send you on a quest to the Land of Dharma. Perhaps you will learn to help others and not think only of yourself. Perhaps you may even find and conquer the warrior within."
With a smile Hokas waves his hand and the Main Hall vanishes!
