| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Cowpat, without a nephew or wife to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. As you wandered the back alleys of Flytrap (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 horse stable. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Thistle Death raven. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a knight's lost cat, Mrs. Cutesworth. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. You weren't having any problems until you got lost in a tomb -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet magic wand +1 in a horse's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some barbarians into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the giblets. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to shine all the hissing cockroach in your hometown of Pig-in-a-Poke. So you kept going, right into the ironmongery of the evil Overlord Goldthwait. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your nipple handed to you.
