| When you were growing up in the little town of Deaf Chicken, you always wanted to be a mighty Paladin. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. You rode into the city of Calamaria, 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 Topaz Elephant seal of Hamonrye, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tomb near the village of Cold Crick, 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 had a good handle on it until you had to fend off half a dozen lizardmen with your foot trapped in a meat grinder. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the cockatrice showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to clean all the Siamese fighting fish in your hometown of Dumpington. So you kept going, right into the brewery of the evil Giant Evilthing. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your elbow handed to you.
