Story

Captain Claw. Loved by many...feared by all. His courage? Legendary. His followers? Loyal to the death. His claws? Well, let's say that more than a few sailors have permanent reminders of their razor-sharp tips.

While imprisoned by LeRauxe and the rest of the Cocker Spaniards for crimes against the king, Claw discovers information and a map piece describing the whereabouts of the magical gems that power the legendary Amulet of Nine Lives. With the amulet, the wearer obtains special powers and near immortality! Could the legends really be true?

It's up to you to help Claw escape from the prison on his quest for the Amulet of Nine Lives. Along the way, you will need to find more map pieces and, of course, the magical gems that power the amulet. It won't be easy because there is a big bounty on your head and everyone is out to capture you-dead or alive.
