Hawk the Slayer

Voltan infiltrates his father's castle and demands the key to the ancient power. The father refuses to turn over the magic of the last elven mind stone. In a fit of treachery, Voltan mortally wounds his father as the old man dies, setting his quest for power in motion.

As the father dies, Hawk enters the castle and is bequeathed a great sword whose pommel is shaped like a human hand. The mind stone attaches to the weapon, imbuing it with magical powers and making it respond to Hawk's thoughts. Hawk vows to avenge his father by killing Voltan.

Voltan torments the countryside with his forces, spreading fear and destruction across villages. His growing power places Hawk's quest for vengeance on a dangerous path.

Ranulf, a seasoned warrior, flees Voltan's pursuit and finds refuge at a remote convent. He recounts the village massacre and his own injury, losing a hand before nuns tend him back to health.

Voltan calls to his wizard to ease the pain on his scarred face. The spell promises relief and hints that someone stands between Voltan and final victory, signaling that the path to power will be paved by greater deeds.

Voltan interrupts mass at the convent and abducts the Abbess, demanding a large gold ransom. After departure, the nuns tell Ranulf to seek the High Abbot at the Fortress of Danesford.

Ranulf reaches the Fortress of Danesford, where the High Abbot urges him to find Hawk and hands him a token to deliver.

Hawk travels across the land and reunites with old friends, Gort the giant, Crow the elf, and Baldin the dwarf. The warrior band agrees to rescue the Abbess and sets about financing the mission.

Voltan's son Drogo leads a party to collect the ransom at the convent, but Hawk and his team fend them off. The confrontation foreshadows the looming clash between Voltan and Hawk.

Hawk and his allies attack Voltan's camp and kill more of his men before retreating. The raid demonstrates Hawk's growing power and resolve.

A treacherous nun urges paying the ransom, but Hawk doubts Voltan will free the Abbess. A treacherous nun drugs Hawk's team, allowing Voltan to capture them.

A sorceress ally helps the heroes escape, but Baldin is mortally wounded in the process. The loss strengthens the remaining fighters and sharpens their resolve against Voltan.

Hawk leads a final assault on Voltan, fighting through his men to reach him. Ranulf is killed and Crow is wounded during the battle, but Hawk defeats Voltan and frees Gort and the Abbess's sisters.

Hawk and Gort head off to new adventures while Crow is tended by the nuns. An evil wizard carries off Voltan's body, leaving the villain's fate unresolved.
