| You always knew that the village of Sto Lat 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 "Saul".) As you wandered the back alleys of Mudhole (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 convenience store. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Thistle Fear soul. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Duke of Eggshire's lost budgie, Mr. Cutesworth. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. You were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum until you got your lower back caught in a cookie jar 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. Nevertheless, you fought your way through evil overlord's crypt, dispatching hobgoblins left and right, and finally arrived at the throne room of the Dragon Giant Grognard. After a long and dramatic battle, you plunged your shillelagh into his knee. The entire dungeon unexpectedly began to collapse as soon as the evil skank was dead, but you managed to escape with your life, and claimed your reward from the grateful people of Hambonia.
