| Even though you were a golden-haired child, you always wanted to become a Fighter, like your father and his father before him. You got your wish when your hometown of Bobcat was attacked by a horde of Black Cheetahs. You got your head handed to you, but it cemented your desire to fight. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Yarbleshire, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Cowpat, and heard the local bard talking about the ancient dungeon that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Amethyst Idol of Baaaal 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 until you got lost in a strip mall -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet crossbow +1 in a bugbear's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some hobgoblins into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the foot. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Frost Overlord Evilthing held court over his horde of buxom gunslingers, and with uncountable swings of your crossbow (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible jerk and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
