== Plot ==
The game starts with Dwerve, struggling to fight beefairies. After he wakes up in his home, his widower father, Arik, talks to his son about never going to the Snoring Forest, because his wife went there and died. He mentions going to the Brekka Village. Since Esben heard that Dwerve wants to go and fight in the Snoring Forest, Esben decided to teach him a few skills, such as how to place a Spinblade Turret towards dummy enemies.
After the training, Dwerve was told to go to his brewery. He does so by traveling to the overlook cliff while killing some enemies, then to the brewery to kill more enemies.
After he was about to return from the brewery, he saw that the Brekka Village was on fire. He was told by his grandfather not to go, but it felt like he had to because he wanted to save his father.
After arriving and killing some enemies, he witnessed a lot of dead bodies around the village, due to "trolls" like Witch Queen Vandra and Karvemup appearing. Luckily, Dwerve wasn't spotted while this incident has happened. However, he was surrounded by enemies.
After Dwerve kills the enemies and finds Arik, Arik was concerned about Dwerve and was told that Dwerve shouldn't be here, but Dwerve told him that he had to, because he wanted to save Arik, though, since Dwerve's father thought he managed to go fighting through enemies, he told him to fight the remaining dens.
After a gang of raiders showed up after Dwerve destroyed the dens, a group of trolls decided to openly kidnap Arik, so Dwerve had to find a key to open up a chest to get out of the village.
After more and more fighting and killing enemies while entering the Snoring Forest, at some point, Dwerve gets to meet Sla and discuss with her certain things during their journey. Dwerve was tasked to go to the castle to find her some tools.
After Dwerve finds the tools for Sla, he meets her again after the gateway of the castle, where Sla opens up her own shop, consisting of turrets, traps, and their upgrades. After that, Dwerve finds out that there are two large gates that need to be opened using two keys, one being on the left side where Elveria and her pet bird can be found, and the other side where there is a large turtle who needs to fix his hair.
After finding the two keys, Dwerve approaches to the boulder, only to find Grombil the Gatekeeper in the way. The prologue ends before the boss fight occurs.
