| You always knew that the village of Dumpington 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 "Louis".) You rode into the city of Reeves, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Sapphire Cougar of Coney Island, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tower near the village of Dropseat, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. Everything was hunky-dory at first, but you didn't expect to have to bareknuckle-fight all those skeletons. That mind flayer picked the total worst time to eat your mace. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless gnolls and dark elves -- even a githyanki! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Death Warrior Grognard, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a sphere of annihilation with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Nickelodeon and claimed your reward.
