| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Flansburgh, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a sexy, comely midwife. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). As you wandered the back alleys of Sto Lat (and let's face it, most of that place is back alleys), a hand covered your mouth while a blade pushed gently at your ribs. You let yourself be dragged into a pitch-dark abandoned horse stable. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Saffron Black blood. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover an inkeeper's lost hamster, Lou. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. Everything was hunky-dory at first, but you didn't expect to have to bareknuckle-fight all those jocks. That carrion crawler picked the total worst time to eat your Greyhawk Army knife. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless gypsies and kobolds -- even a owlbear! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Demon Marquis Evilthing, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a succubus with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Chocolatehawk and claimed your reward.
