"The Mighty Barbarian Swordsman set out to destroy his most deadly adversary--a beautiful sorceress with all the Powers of Darkness at her command."
Kothar the Cumberian. With a name like that you might suspect that this character is a Conan knockoff. Well, in this case, if you thought that, you would pretty much suspect-o correct-o.
He leads a defensive force against an invading wizard and narrowly loses.
One difference is that he has a magic sword. A lich offers it to him to use to save the queen whose army has just been destroyed. He'd rather keep the sword than have the princedom she offers him for rescuing her wizard.
He also gets paid to go treasure hunting, and finds a minotaur, and deals with a witch woman in a wood, and actually gets to go sword to sword with a sorcerous baron.
