| You grew up on the chewy streets of the great Ruby City, where contrary to popular belief, the streets are mainly paved with horse dung. Well, at least in your neighborhood. Small wonder you grew up to be a professional Thief. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Glameroth, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Cowpat, and heard the local farmhand talking about the ancient crypt that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Ruby Idol of Dave that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. You were rocking the house until you got lost in a tomb -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet knife +1 in a bugbear's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some hobgoblins into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the calf. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to shine all the parakeet in your hometown of Dogspittle. So you kept going, right into the smithy of the evil Necromancer Diabolico. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your throat handed to you.
