Hawk, wielding a magical sword, assembles a small force of fighters to rid the land of Voltan.

The wicked Voltan mortally wounds his own father when the latter refuses to turn over the magic of the "last elven mind stone".

As the old man lies dying, another son, Hawk, enters the castle, and is bequeathed a great sword with a pommel shaped like a human hand which attaches itself to the mind stone, creating the powerful “Mindsword”.

Ranulf tells the nuns that he survived Voltan's attack on his village and his people, which resulted in the brutal deaths of women and children.

After Voltan and his henchmen leave with the Abbess, the nuns tell Ranulf to seek the High Abbot at the Fortress of Danesford.

Hawk locates his old friends: Gort, a giant who wields a war hammer; Crow, an elf who uses a bow; and Baldin, a dwarf skilled with a whip.

Voltan's son Drogo leads some men to the convent to collect the gold, but Hawk and his team fend them off.
