| Ever since you were a child in the meager village of Klatch, you wanted to become a great Wizard and learn the great mysteries of the universe, such as who invented the paperclip. The answer turned out to not be very interesting, but by that time you were a Wizard anyway. Having heard many rumors about how Schmalbion was being systematically sacked by a band of marauding tramps (who had already looted and burned the villages of Quirm, Dropseat, and Pittsburgh), and the ludicrous reward being offered for the lower back of their leader, you decided it was finally time to put your mettle to the test. You weren't having any problems up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a antlion pit and a antlion pit, with a carrion crawler bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your shoulder. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless lizardmen and hobos -- even a beholder! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Skull Troll Venomradius, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a spiked pit with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Scarletbury Grove and claimed your reward.
