| It was hard growing up as a serf's son in the tiny hamlet of Flytrap, in the land of Ov'reezy. The other children mocked you because of your glasses and asthma, but you would have the last laugh when you grew up to be a mighty Wizard! (Which you did.) As you wandered the back alleys of Deaf Chicken (and let's face it, most of that place is back alleys), a hand covered your mouth while a blade pushed gently at your ribs. You let yourself be dragged into a pitch-dark abandoned horse stable. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Ultramarine Dirge wyrm. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a farmer's lost tarantula, Snugglesworth. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. There was no drama in the LBC until you dropped your knife in a crocodile's mouth and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the goblins showed up. 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 ents, you made your way to the lair of Shadow Wizard Shriekancient and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul horse to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your knife and knocked the villain screaming into a iron maiden with a well-placed kick to the solar plexus. At last, the treasure was yours!
