| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Rusty Nail, without a grandpa or grandmother to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. You headed off into the wild wilderness of Limberford in search of adventure, and upon your arrival at the great city of Shuntington you heard a town crier shouting about how the the blacksmith's thin uncle had been kidnapped by desperados, and the massive reward for their rescue. Not wanting to get in the way of the plot railroad, you set out on your new quest. At first it was a real breeze, until you got your ear caught in a succubus and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. 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 orcs, you made your way to the lair of Grim Marquis Blackancient and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul bulette to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your entrenching tool and knocked the villain screaming into a lava pool with a well-placed kick to the face. At last, the treasure was yours!
