| At an early age, you were apprenticed to the Great Wizard Morris, but you grew tired of having to groom the floors and filter the alchemical equipment day in and day out. So, you stole a spellbook and took off to become a Wizard on your own. You rode into the city of Coney Island, 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 Sapphire Pig of Taintingham, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient crypt near the village of Sto Lat, 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 at first, but you didn't expect to have to bareknuckle-fight all those gangsters. That hellhound picked the total worst time to eat your footaxe. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless gangsters and desperados -- even a bugbear! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Frost Giant Grimtooth, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a meat grinder with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Waxtoff and claimed your reward.
