| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Bafflesbury, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a underdeveloped, skeletal cook. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Sto Lat. There, you met the barman's ugly roommate, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Ruby Cougar. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. Everything was hunky-dory until you got lost in a dungeon -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet sword +1 in a carrion crawler's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some skeletons into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the ankle. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Shadow Necromancer Diablolo held court over his horde of raven-haired orphans, and with uncountable swings of your longbow (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible bozo and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
