| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Spazmotic, 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. At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Cheddarwurst, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of zima. He told you about the great plague of hamsters that had beset the entire region of Waxton, and of the rumor that the evil Sorcerer Arc'klor was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. You were rocking the house until you got lost in a tomb -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet staff +1 in a bulette's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some indigent native tribesmen into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the groin. But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your bastard sword, and cut your way through the hordes of goblins that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Demon Lawyer Badfella, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost aunt, but you killed the bastard anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
