3Frances Rigby ''wants'' to be an AdventureArchaeologist, but she's not -- while the guys on the archaeological dig are out playing Franchise/IndianaJones, she's stuck doing paperwork. Of course, all that changes when she accidentally finds King Nivram's sword and gets transported to another world where dinosaurs are the HorseOfADifferentColor and gender politics aren't very advanced. As you might have guessed, it turns out that Rigby is TheChosenOne destined to defeat the BigBad; an evil wizard warlord known as the Fate-Maker.
