| An ancient prophecy foretold of a child born in the city of Crunkleton with a leather glove-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 Pinochle, 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 Amber Flamingo of Gallston, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient pyramid near the village of Quirm, 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. It wasn't a thing but you soon were confounded by a fiendish rearranging of tiles with pictures of plumbing on them puzzle, and by the time you figured out to solve it, you were annoyed as an underfed boa constrictor. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless jerks and hobos -- even a roper! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Blood Overlord Evilthing, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a succubus with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Llewllamarall and claimed your reward.
