When eccentric explorer, Lady Vincenza ''Vintage'' de Grazon, offers him employment, he sees an easy way outEven when they are joined by a fugitive witch with a tendency to set things on fire, the prospect of facing down monsters and retrieving ancient artefacts is preferable to the abomination he left behind.
