The target of the abduction was one of the region's Princesses, who was taken off to a nearby dungeon. The Agent is duly tasked with rescuing the Princess "in the truest spirit of chivalry," although are warned that a Vampire currently holds her captive.

The Agent must journey to and the enter the specified dungeon, beginning their search for the Princess by battling through the usual variety of creatures. There will also be a high number of giant rats roaming the dungeon, as well as the Vampiric kidnapper. Killing the Vampire is not required, but the Agent will receive a message upon their death.
