| Ever since you were a little boy, you wanted to become a mighty pirate and sail the seven seas, looting and plundering. Unfortunately, the country of Wibbleshire is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. Having heard many rumors about how Schmalbion was being systematically sacked by a band of marauding badgers (who had already looted and burned the villages of Dropseat, Mondale, and Molehill), and the ludicrous reward being offered for the knee of their leader, you decided it was finally time to put your mettle to the test. You had a good handle on it but then you wandered into a room totally full of tramps, plus a gazebo, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. 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 Blood Giant Frazool and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul roper to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your battleaxe and knocked the villain screaming into a lava pool with a well-placed kick to the ankle. At last, the treasure was yours!
