| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Deaf Chicken, without a cousin or mother to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. As luck would have it, you found yourself wandering through the sleepy village of Pig-in-a-Poke just as the village people (you know, the construction worker, the cop, the Indian) were beset by the evil Wizard Diablolo, who had poisoned the town's Siamese fighting fish population. Against your better judgment (and with the hope of fat loot to come), you agreed to try and bring the villain to justice. You were doing a killer job up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a lava pool and a spiked pit, with a carrion crawler bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your solar plexus. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless goblins and goblins -- even a beholder! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Devil Devil Lord Grognard, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a beartrap with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Flansburgh and claimed your reward.
