| Ever since you were a little boy, you wanted to become a mighty pirate and sail the seven seas, looting and plundering. Unfortunately, the country of Glameroth is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Stubborn Mule, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of honey wine. He told you about the great plague of fish that had beset the entire region of Febreezia, and of the rumor that the evil Knight Dave was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. You weren't having any problems but then you wandered into a room totally full of gnolls, plus a rust monster, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Blood Knight Hatredpatella held court over his horde of comely gnolls, and with uncountable swings of your handaxe (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible assjacket and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
