Plot Summary of The Chosen Warriors
"This is a story of six Chosen Warriors guided by the good wizard Underdrake who is in conflict with the evil wizard Arlock. Arlock's way of wreaking havoc is through his creation of marauding goblins. Along with the Chosen Warriors come the six swords that were fashioned by Underdrake. These swords are handed down from father to son. The new Chosen Warriors have just received their swords and the time has come to defend the countryside. The Chosen Warriors collect themselves and partake in several battles with Arlock's goblins. Klack, the goblin leader is the General of one thousand goblins and plans to take over the entire region. In this tale there is an encounter with a colony of trolls, a menacing dragon and some knights in shining armor."
