| After your quiet hometown of Flytrap was attacked by badgers and, despite your young age, you were forced to take up arms to defend it, you decided that the life of a Fighter was the life you were looking for. It would be a long and difficult road, but it sure beat the heck out of being a barber like your son wanted. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Cowpat. There, you met the Sultan's skeletal homie, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Topaz Gorilla. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. It wasn't a thing but you soon were confounded by a fiendish rune-deciphering puzzle, and by the time you figured out to solve it, you were crestfallen as an underfed Siamese fighting fish. 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 tramps, you made your way to the lair of Vampire Marquis Grindergorilla and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul mind flayer to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your scythe and knocked the villain screaming into a meat grinder with a well-placed kick to the solar plexus. At last, the treasure was yours!
