| When you were growing up in the little town of Pig-in-a-Poke, you always wanted to be a mighty Fireman. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Swampleton, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Klatch, and heard the local tavernkeep talking about the ancient dungeon that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Azure Idol of Arc'klor that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. It wasn't a thing until you got your ankle caught in a sphere of annihilation and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless badgers and tramps -- even a weretiger! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Vampire Lord Diabolico, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a antlion pit with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Wibbleford and claimed your reward.
