| Inspired by the great deeds of your mother, Scarlet Lowery, you knew from an early age you wanted to be a Fighter. After a scant 15 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 Deaf Chicken, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of barley wine. He told you about the great plague of pigs that had beset the entire region of Nickelodeon, and of the rumor that the evil Wizard Baaaal was the source of the unpleasantness. You resolved to find the villain and dispatch him, mostly to get the drunk guy to shut up. You had a good handle on it up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a iron maiden and a cheese-grater, with a beholder bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your lower back. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless bullywugs and gnolls -- even a shoggoth! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Black Troll Evilthing, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a lava pool with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Llewllamarall and claimed your reward.
