| You grew up the son of a milkmaid, but decided such a profession was lacking in excitement. After much hard training, (if you never dodge rocks she throws from the window again, it'll be too soon) you finally became a mighty Fighter. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Cavill, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Morpork, and heard the local milkmaid talking about the ancient tomb that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Sapphire Idol of Dave 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. There was no drama in the LBC but then you wandered into a room totally full of indigent native tribesmen, plus a rakshasa, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless jerks and jocks -- even a hellhound! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Devil Giant Blackfist, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a swinging razor-sharp pendulum with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Reeves and claimed your reward.
