| An ancient prophecy foretold of a child born in the city of Febreezia with a pair of glasses-shaped birthmark, who would grow up to be the greatest Wizard ever known. You have a birthmark like that, but at first you were only a sort of okay Wizard. Everyone has to start somewhere, I guess. You rode into the city of New Brunswick, 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 Ruby Chicken of Cavill, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient pyramid near the village of Foobar, 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. At first it was a real breeze, but you soon were confounded by a fiendish series of carefully timed jumps puzzle, and by the time you figured out to solve it, you were agitated as an underfed ferret. 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 jocks, you made your way to the lair of Frost Knight Krampus and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul roper to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your Greyhawk Army knife and knocked the villain screaming into a iron maiden with a well-placed kick to the lower back. At last, the treasure was yours!
