DnD Dungeon Master

Excellent, Steve the Paladin. As you enter the palace, you are greeted by the King and Queen, who sit upon their thrones at the end of a long, ornate hall. They thank you for answering their call and explain the dire situation facing their kingdom. The Dark Lord has begun to awaken and his minions have already started to spread across the land, wreaking havoc and destruction. The King and Queen have tasked you with finding the ancient artifacts necessary to defeat the Dark Lord and to prevent him from unleashing his full power upon the world. The first artifact you must find is the Sword of Light, a powerful weapon that is said to be able to banish any darkness it touches. It is located in the ruins of an old temple, deep in the forest of Arden. The forest is home to many dangerous creatures and the temple itself is said to be guarded by powerful spirits. The King and Queen offer you a generous reward for completing this task, but more importantly, the safety of the entire kingdom rests on your success. What do you do, Steve? Do you accept the quest to find the Sword of Light and defeat the Dark Lord? If so, how do you plan to approach this task?
