| When you were growing up in the little town of Rusty Nail, you always wanted to be a mighty Astronaut. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Cabbagetown, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of root beer. He told you about the great plague of scorpions that had beset the entire region of Limberford, and of the rumor that the evil Sorcerer Xxyrg was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. You were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a cheese-grater and a crocodile's mouth, with a rust monster bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your kidney. However, you knew you'd never be a mighty adventurer if you let a little setback like that stop you, and damned if you were going to end up a barber in some crummy backwater like Mondale or Mudhole. So you pressed onward until you discovered the lair of the Death Warrior Krampus, and after a long and dramatic battle you successfully put an end to his evil ways. And then you looted the hell out of his hideout.
