| After your quiet hometown of Pitlick was attacked by dire dwarves and, despite your young age, you were forced to take up arms to defend it, you decided that the life of a Fighter was the life you were looking for. It would be a long and difficult road, but it sure beat the heck out of being a "seamstress" like your dad wanted. As you wandered the back alleys of Piehole (and let's face it, most of that place is back alleys), a hand covered your mouth while a blade pushed gently at your ribs. You let yourself be dragged into a pitch-dark abandoned belfry. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Chocolate Grim stein. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Earl of Kellybury Grove's lost banana slug, Mrs. Cuddleface. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. You were rocking the house until you got lost in a dungeon -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet magic wand +1 in a mimic's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some tramps into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the eye. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless hobgoblins and kobolds -- even a cockatrice! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Grim Giant Badfella, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a cheese-grater with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Swampleton and claimed your reward.
