You're the sole survivor of a blimp accident and are told my a short old man to find a boy.

There's a temple of evil shit and your party of murderhobos must enter it.

An evil wizard stole a mcguffin and a mad lord wants it back.
 
The main charcter is a really old homeless guy who raises a prince and really likes Queen.
