| You grew up on the drippy streets of the great Sapphire 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. You rode into the city of Coney Island, 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 Emerald Bobcat of Waltermatthau, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tomb near the village of Whacking, 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. Everything was hunky-dory at first, but you didn't expect to have to bareknuckle-fight all those tramps. That weretiger picked the total worst time to eat your nunchuks. 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 jocks, you made your way to the lair of Vampire Devil Lord Englebert and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul owlbear to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your handaxe and knocked the villain screaming into a gelatinous cube with a well-placed kick to the head. At last, the treasure was yours!
