Join two unlikely heroes on a strange, nonsensical, humorous and occasionally epic quest to retrieve an ancient magical artifact! The disillusioned and reluctant 'Grand' Wizard Harrold is joined by his mostly incompetent and annoyingly optimistic friend, Patricklus the Great. Together they encounter the strangest problems and device even stranger solutions. Krakens will be fought, people will die from defenestration and other similarly horrible causes, fish will fly in through the window, Gods will get angry and floors will be floors. Oh, and there's also a murder mystery in there somewhere.
