| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Gallston, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a raven-haired, serpent-tongued milkmaid. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). You rode into the city of Shaffly-on-Surrey, 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 Gold Bumblebee of Taintingham, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient pyramid 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. You were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum but then you wandered into a room totally full of gnolls, plus a lich, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless accountants and dark elves -- even a gazebo! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Fire Sorcerer Venomelder, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a crocodile's mouth with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Flanders and claimed your reward.
