Here the gentle reader will find the short, naughty, action-packed tale of Baldric Bendibar, the not-so-heroic wizard. Old, gaunt and frequently drunk, he snores happily in a tall, crooked tower. His life's ambition is reduced to a long, peaceful retirement. But King Reggor has other plans, and one sunny morning, Baldric's drunken dreams are shattered by an attacking army. Hung over and aching in every creaking joint, the old wizard rolls out of bed as he decides his life is worth one last fight.
