| An ancient prophecy foretold of a child born in the city of Routh with a ascot-shaped birthmark, who would grow up to be the greatest Wizard ever known. You have a birthmark like that, but at first you were only a sort of okay Wizard. Everyone has to start somewhere, I guess. You rode into the city of Burblegroat, 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 Chicken of Goldthwaitia, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient necropolis near the village of Mudhole, 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. You were rocking the house until you dropped your longbow in a iron maiden and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the jocks showed up. But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your Greyhawk Army knife, and cut your way through the hordes of skeletons that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Skull King Fangfist, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost niece, but you killed the bozo anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
