| After your quiet hometown of Hamlet was attacked by thieves and, despite your young age, you were forced to take up arms to defend it, you decided that the life of a Fighter was the life you were looking for. It would be a long and difficult road, but it sure beat the heck out of being a farmhand like your grandpa wanted. You rode into the city of Waxton, 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 Azure Cougar of Waltermatthau, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient sewer near the village of Cowpat, 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 going great until you dropped your shillelagh in a beartrap and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the orphans 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 bullywugs, you made your way to the lair of Dragon Overlord Baaaal and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul bistre slaad to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your shiv and knocked the villain screaming into a crocodile's mouth with a well-placed kick to the skull. At last, the treasure was yours!
