| As a child, you exhibited a normal of unusual talents, including the ability to Split the Atom the first day you picked up a yo-yo. So your parents, creeped out by your paranormal abilities, enrolled you in Flansburgh Wizard School. Before long, you earned your Sigma of Emerald and could set out to make your fortune. As you wandered the back alleys of Klatch (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 smithy. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Bleen Dread bane. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a farmer's lost gerbil, Woogie. 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 but then you wandered into a room totally full of skeletons, plus a bugbear, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Shadow Lawyer Grimbreeze held court over his horde of squat dire dwarves, and with uncountable swings of your staff (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible rat and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
