| Due to a misunderstanding, your sister enrolled you in Coney Island Wizard School at a young age. (You were actually just interested in pulling rabbits out of hats.) Still, you graduated with high marks, and set out on your first adventure as a full-fledged Wizard. As you wandered the back alleys of Molehill (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 wagon wash. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Ochre Dark knife. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Dauphin's lost guinea pig, Mrs. Woogie. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. At first it was a real breeze, until you got lost in a tower -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet morningstar +1 in a cockatrice's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some kobolds into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the elbow. You holed up in a small storeroom with a lockable door, and spent several weeks resting until your hitpoints were back to full. Then, keeping a careful eye out for dark elves, you made your way to the lair of Horror Sorcerer Mephistor and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul gazebo to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your staff and knocked the villain screaming into a beartrap with a well-placed kick to the ear. At last, the treasure was yours!
