| Inspired by the great deeds of your mother, Crimson Barrett, you knew from an early age you wanted to be a Fighter. After a scant 1.5 years of training, you were finally ready to seek your fortune in the large, indifferent world. At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Pitlick, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of root beer. He told you about the great plague of fish that had beset the entire region of Sapphirehawk, and of the rumor that the evil Sorcerer Blackfist was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. Everything was going great until you got lost in a sewer -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet dagger +1 in a mimic's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some goblins into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the ear. 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 hobos, you made your way to the lair of Fire Witchlord Grimtooth and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul mind flayer to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your crossbow and knocked the villain screaming into a beartrap with a well-placed kick to the skull. At last, the treasure was yours!
