| Even though you were a cunning child, you always wanted to become a Fighter, like your father and his father before him. You got your wish when your hometown of Stubborn Mule was attacked by a horde of Fire Ducks. You got your throat handed to you, but it cemented your desire to fight. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Vermilionbury Grove, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Cowpat, and heard the local squire talking about the ancient tower that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Amber Idol of Woundedsternum that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. You had a good handle on it until you got lost in a tomb -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet yo-yo +1 in a mind flayer's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some gypsies into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the skull. However, you knew you'd never be a mighty adventurer if you let a little setback like that stop you, and damned if you were going to end up a bard in some crummy backwater like Foobar or Sto Lat. So you pressed onward until you discovered the lair of the Shadow Sorcerer Badfella, and after a long and dramatic battle you successfully put an end to his evil ways. And then you looted the hell out of his hideout.
