| You always knew that the village of Mondale wasn't big enough for you -- after all, it was just the one hut, and it was a small one. So, when you came of age, you decided to make a name for yourself as a Fighter. (You parents never gave you a name. You were hoping for "Paul".) As you wandered the back alleys of Quirm (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 owlry. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Viridian Blood soul. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a charwoman's lost boa constrictor, Mr. Cuddlesworth. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. You were doing a wicked job until you got lost in a sewer -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet entrenching tool +1 in a hellhound's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some goblins into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the shoulder. However, you knew you'd never be a mighty adventurer if you let a little setback like that stop you, and damned if you were going to end up a "seamstress" in some crummy backwater like Pitlick or Cheddarwurst. So you pressed onward until you discovered the lair of the Fire King Woundedclavicle, and after a long and dramatic battle you successfully put an end to his evil ways. And then you looted the hell out of his hideout.
