| You always knew that the village of Bobcat wasn't big enough for you -- after all, it was just the one hut, and it was a small one. So, when you came of age, you decided to make a name for yourself as a Fighter. (You parents never gave you a name. You were hoping for "Parker".) As luck would have it, you found yourself wandering through the sleepy village of Deaf Chicken just as the village people (you know, the construction worker, the cop, the Indian) were beset by the evil Overlord Mephistor, who had poisoned the town's earwig population. Against your better judgment (and with the hope of fat loot to come), you agreed to try and bring the villain to justice. You were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum until you dropped your shillelagh in a spiked pit and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the gnolls showed up. 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 tramps, you made your way to the lair of Terror Sorcerer Xxyrg and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul rakshasa to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your longbow and knocked the villain screaming into a vending machine with a well-placed kick to the giblets. At last, the treasure was yours!
