| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Stubborn Mule, without a bro' or niece to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. One fateful day, you were strolling through the quiet village of Sto Lat when you met the town milkmaid. That worthy begged you to try and rescue the Lord of Bafflesbury's drunken stepchild, who had been kidnapped by jerks. Having little to do except save the world from an evil sorcerer or whatever, you took the quest. At first it was a real breeze, up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a vending machine and a antlion pit, with a mind flayer bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your foot. Nevertheless, you fought your way through evil overlord's pyramid, dispatching orphans left and right, and finally arrived at the throne room of the Grim Marquis Mephistor. After a long and dramatic battle, you plunged your club into his shoulder. The entire dungeon unexpectedly began to collapse as soon as the evil has-been was dead, but you managed to escape with your life, and claimed your reward from the grateful people of Shuntington.
