| As a baby you were stolen from your parents by a band of hobgoblins and raised in a dark and wild quarry. They regarded you as one of their own, but the time came for you to make your own name as a professional Thief. You rode into the city of Shamablamaroth, 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 Amethyst Hamster of Ov'reezy, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient sewer near the village of Bobcat, 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 until you had to fend off half a dozen bandits with your solar plexus trapped in a crocodile's mouth. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the weretiger showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your morningstar, and cut your way through the hordes of gangsters that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Dragon Sorcerer Blackfist, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost stepchild, but you killed the arse anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
