| You always knew that the village of Buttole 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 "Hubie".) Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Whacking. There, you met the Duke of Swampleton's nubile aunt, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Sapphire Tiger. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. You weren't having any problems until you got your leg caught in a spiked pit 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. But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your mace, and cut your way through the hordes of dark elves that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Vampire Troll Badfella, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost stepchild, but you killed the smartass anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
