A group of a elite holy warriors wander the land as mercenaries, slaying evil wherever they find it. They are called dervishes, and one of these intrepid warriors is Nicholas Red, a relatively novice dervish that has found little success. However, when the prospect of a lucrative mission catches his eye, he must team up with an alcoholic paladin, a far-too-optimistic witch, and a scrawny slave to complete it and finally hit it big as an adventurer. This motley crew seems hesitant to work with each other however, despite Nicholas' best efforts. Is this really Nicholas' ticket to hit it big, or just a one way street to an early grave?
