| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Farnsworthington, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a serpent-tongued, cunning milkmaid. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Frog, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of ale. He told you about the great plague of salamanders that had beset the entire region of Taintingham, and of the rumor that the evil Overlord Bonecoccyx was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. At first it was a real breeze, until you got your elbow caught in a meat grinder and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless ents and orphans -- even a bulette! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Shadow Witchlord Xxyrg, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a beartrap with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Crunkleton and claimed your reward.
