| When you were growing up in the little town of Deaf Chicken, you always wanted to be a mighty Fireman. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. As you wandered the back alleys of Bobcat (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 belfry. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Navy Dire wind. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Marquis of Fandanzia's lost banana slug, Mr. Woogie. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. It was pretty easy, but you soon were confounded by a fiendish statue-pushing puzzle, and by the time you figured out to solve it, you were crestfallen as an underfed ferret. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless dark elves and goblins -- even a bugbear! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Fire Overlord Diablolo, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a swinging razor-sharp pendulum with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Keaton and claimed your reward.
