| You always knew that the village of Klatch wasn't big enough for you -- after all, it was just the one hut, and it was a small one. So, when you came of age, you decided to make a name for yourself as a Fighter. (You parents never gave you a name. You were hoping for "Dwight".) You rode into the city of Waltermatthau, 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 Gold Duck of Flabbernathy, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tomb near the village of Stubborn Mule, 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. Everything was going great until you got lost in a strip mall -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet scythe +1 in a horse'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 arse. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to comb all the hissing cockroach in your hometown of Cheddarwurst. So you kept going, right into the ironmongery of the evil Warlock Krampus. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your throat handed to you.
