You're a damsel, but not in distress! Conspirators have imprisoned you, and plot to usurp your throne. Take command of your inept but well-intended rescuers, and escape the tower. Battle bizarre monsters, and outwit your foes! But don't be late to the ball.

When you were crowned Royal Heir, the kingdom was torn asunder by a confederacy of traitors. You must take charge of a brazen knight, a snarky amazon, a cursed enchantress, and a humble peasant to escape your captors.

Fight the three-headed Chimera, the two-eyed Biclops, and a horde of insatiable gnomes (They're surprisingly dangerous after a few drinks). Wield swords, or magic, or fight with your wits and grace. If all else fails, pummel your enemies with a chamberpot tied to a stick.

Unravel the conspiracy behind your abduction. Thwart your scheming siblings. Flirt with your rescuers. Avenge murder most foul, and save the kingdom. Just don't violate the rules of the Damsel Guild...
