In the forest, he encounters a gang of thieves, headed by his former love interest, Katherine.


As he progresses through the prison, he eventually gets to the outer wall and escapes to the forest after defeating the warden, La Rauxe. The game begins with Claw outside his cell. Breaking out of his cell, Claw sets out to collect all 9 gems of the amulet and retrieve it for himself. In the prison cell, waiting for his execution, he finds a note and a map hidden in the wall, signed as Edward Tobin, in which he learns about the Amulet of Nine Lives-a mystical artifact that grants its wearer near-immortality.

The story is similar to many pirate films, games and other sources: a famous cat pirate, Captain Nathaniel Joseph Claw, is imprisoned by the Cocker-Spaniards (a dog species, a pun on Cocker Spaniel) after they attack and sink his ship.
