| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Klatch, without a dad or wife to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Mudhole. There, you met an inkeeper's thin niece, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Amber Chicken. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. At first it was a real breeze, up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a iron maiden and a iron maiden, with a flesh golem bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your calf. 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 Dark Sorcerer Morgar and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul carrion crawler to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your Greyhawk Army knife and knocked the villain screaming into a gelatinous cube with a well-placed kick to the thigh. At last, the treasure was yours!
