| Ever since you were a little boy, you wanted to become a mighty pirate and sail the seven seas, looting and plundering. Unfortunately, the country of Brazzleton is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. Having heard many rumors about how Yarbleshire was being systematically sacked by a band of marauding desperados (who had already looted and burned the villages of Buttole, Deaf Chicken, and Flytrap), and the ludicrous reward being offered for the thigh of their leader, you decided it was finally time to put your mettle to the test. You were doing a tubular job until you got lost in a ruin -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet knife +1 in a beholder's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some tramps 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 ents, you made your way to the lair of Black Sorcerer Arc'klor and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul roper to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your magic wand and knocked the villain screaming into a vending machine with a well-placed kick to the calf. At last, the treasure was yours!
