A typically nasty secret order has summoned a dragon and is using it to wreak havoc upon the city. It is not down to Carrot and company to stop it, but to Rincewind, the highly inept wizard.

The player takes control of him and tries to save the city from destruction. The journey takes you from Ankh-Morpork to the edge of the Disc and beyond.

The game also includes many characters from other Discworld adventures, including Nanny Ogg, the Ankh-Morpork guards, Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler, trolls, the Patrician, and Death.
