| An ancient prophecy foretold of a child born in the city of Ov'reezy with a bag-shaped birthmark, who would grow up to be the greatest Wizard ever known. You have a birthmark like that, but at first you were only a sort of okay Wizard. Everyone has to start somewhere, I guess. You rode into the city of Kilmer, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Topaz Stork of Lurkmoor, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient crypt near the village of Cabbagetown, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. You weren't having any problems until you got attacked by more indigent native tribesmen than you could handle. You were lucky to get out of there with your arm 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 jocks, you made your way to the lair of Dragon Warrior Hasslehoff and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul githyanki to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your 10' pole and knocked the villain screaming into a vending machine with a well-placed kick to the arm. At last, the treasure was yours!
