| You grew up the son of a tavernkeep, but decided such a profession was lacking in excitement. After much hard training, (if you never dig ditches and fill them back in again, it'll be too soon) you finally became a mighty Fighter. As you wandered the back alleys of Flytrap (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 tannery. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Black Blood soul. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a knight's lost guinea pig, Cuddles. 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 attacked by more hobgoblins than you could handle. You were lucky to get out of there with your leg intact! 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 Lawyer Mephistor and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul cockatrice to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your staff and knocked the villain screaming into a sphere of annihilation with a well-placed kick to the bung. At last, the treasure was yours!
