The three do indeed go to Illius' mentor, Khelben Blackstaff, who tells them that they must acquire a Demon Stone held by the Yuan-ti people, who reside in Chult. Illius suggests they visit his mentor, Khelben. Zhai reveals that her other half is wood elf, and that her parents were in the village. Eventually, Cireka flees herself, and Ygorl destroys the village, but not before a significant amount of wood elves, and our heroes, escape. The two armies clash, with our three heroes fighting in the middle to ensure that numerous wood elves manage to flee. Though the three work to distract her and slay her followers, Ygorl and his slaad army arrive to take the Silver Sword of Gith from Cireka, which Ygorl views as a powerful artifact. Once outside, Zhai notes that they are near Cedarleaf, a wood elf village, and the three rush to ensure it is safe, only to find Cireka there, summoning her Githyanki minions through a portal. Unwittingly, the three unleash Ygorl & Cireka from their imprisonment in the Demon Stone, and whilst the three and Cireka escape, Ygorl vanishes alongside his slaad minions. It is learned that Rannek is a self-exiled warrior who failed to protect his village from invading trolls, and we also learn that Zhai is half-drow, though her other half is yet to be revealed. Inside they come across numerous challenges, including more orcs and a rather vicious orc 'king', who forces to three to work together to defeat him. The three are eventually forced deep into Gemspark Mine by the attacks of the red dragon. This is when Illius, the sorcerer, arrives after being drawn to the area through a portal, slaying the archers and orcs with his magic and staff. She flees into the shadows, using stealth and skill to slay her enemies in secret, until she too finds herself saved by Rannek, who threw her out of the way to avoid being hit by orc Archers. He eventually comes across a drow female, who frees herself from her cage by stealing two blades from a nearby orc. The game starts with Rannek's arrival at the battle between two orc forces, finding himself drawn into saving the captured wood elves, whilst avoiding the assaults of a red dragon, Caminus, and both orc forces. Although much of the game is hack-and-slash, there are several tasks that require the use of various skills. Bosses overpower characters in one-on-one fighting but can be defeated with the combined power of all three heroes. Zhai uses two daggers and becomes invisible in shadows-this is useful for sneaking up on enemies and killing them. Illius fights with a staff and uses magic (the game's most powerful ranged attack the other two can throw knives (Zhai) or axes(Rannek)). Rannek uses a sword and breaks things with his gauntlets. There are many fighting moves, and players must use each character's skills to play the game effectively. Players have control over all three characters and can change character at any time (after all three main heroes arrive). The three heroes must undo their mistake by joining forces to right the wrong they caused before the realm is lost. Once there, they unwillingly release Ygorl and Cireka from the Demon Stone and into the world. A great red dragon, sent by Ygorl, leads the group to these mines. The story develops as the three heroes battle two orc armies near the jewel-rich Gemspark Mines. Fearing that the realm would be at the mercy of whichever villain was victorious, the great mage Khelben Blackstaff sealed them both within a Demon Stone. The game's introduction explains that the only thing keeping each of them from taking over the realm is their hatred of each other. Cireka, general of the Githyanki, is the second. The first villain, Ygorl-is the leader of the Slaad army. The two villains are equally enemies of the heroes and of each other. A half-drow, half-wood-elf rogue named Zhai easily vanishes into the shadows before sneaking up on her enemy for the kill. Illius, a sorcerer, casts spells to protect his friends or attack his enemies. The human fighter Rannek is a master of melee combat.
