| Ever since you were a child in the meager village of Dropseat, you wanted to become a great Wizard and learn the great mysteries of the universe, such as who invented the paperclip. The answer turned out to not be very interesting, but by that time you were a Wizard anyway. As luck would have it, you found yourself wandering through the sleepy village of Cabbagetown just as the village people (you know, the construction worker, the cop, the Indian) were beset by the evil Barbarian Xxyrg, who had poisoned the town's earwig population. Against your better judgment (and with the hope of fat loot to come), you agreed to try and bring the villain to justice. It was pretty easy, until you had to actually go in the dungeon. That was when you fell in a crocodile's mouth, got attacked by skeletons, and got your calf bitten off by a carrion crawler. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless thieves and ents -- even a wisteria slaad! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Fire Lord Diabolico, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a iron maiden with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Calamaria and claimed your reward.
