| You always knew that the village of Cabbagetown wasn't big enough for you -- after all, it was just the one hut, and it was a small one. So, when you came of age, you decided to make a name for yourself as a Fighter. (You parents never gave you a name. You were hoping for "Wade".) In the fiefdom of Stoatsford, in the unpleasant-smelling backwater of Sudoku, you found an inn with cheap ale and spent the night carousing. There, you heard a tale of the forgotten treasure of the Gold Skies, lost for ages during the time of the great fire. You decided to seek the treasure yourself, heedless of the literal mountain of skeletons of those who had tried before you. You weren't having any problems up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a swinging razor-sharp pendulum and a succubus, with a bulette bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your head. You holed up in a small storeroom with a lockable door, and spent several weeks resting until your hitpoints were back to full. Then, keeping a careful eye out for accountants, you made your way to the lair of Grim Lord Unpleasantor and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul owlbear to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your bastard sword and knocked the villain screaming into a succubus with a well-placed kick to the kidney. At last, the treasure was yours!
