| When you were growing up in the little town of Sudoku, you always wanted to be a mighty Cleric. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. At the tiny tavern on the outskirts of the Village of Cheddarwurst, you were trapped in a conversation with a man who had clearly had more than his fill of root beer. He told you about the great plague of toads that had beset the entire region of Stoatsford, and of the rumor that the evil Sorcerer Blackfist 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 were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum until you got lost in a dungeon -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet "Rod of Lordly Might" (if you know what I mean) +1 in a bugbear's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some gnolls into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the bung. You holed up in a small storeroom with a lockable door, and spent several weeks resting until your hitpoints were back to full. Then, keeping a careful eye out for accountants, you made your way to the lair of Shadow Barbarian Woundside and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul weretiger to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your sword and knocked the villain screaming into a vending machine with a well-placed kick to the bung. At last, the treasure was yours!
