| As a baby you were stolen from your parents by a band of bandits and raised in a dark and wild mineshaft. They regarded you as one of their own, but the time came for you to make your own name as a professional Thief. Having heard many rumors about how Hambonia was being systematically sacked by a band of marauding gnolls (who had already looted and burned the villages of Rusty Nail, Dumpington, and Mondale), and the ludicrous reward being offered for the kidney of their leader, you decided it was finally time to put your mettle to the test. There was no drama in the LBC until you had to fend off half a dozen bandits with your ear trapped in a crocodile's mouth. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the mind flayer showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless badgers and goblins -- even a horse! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Death Necromancer Dave, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a spiked pit with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Kilmer and claimed your reward.
