| 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 Goldthwaitia is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Burblegroat, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Sudoku, and heard the local cook talking about the ancient pyramid that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Silver Idol of Shriekstrong 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. Everything was hunky-dory until you had to fend off half a dozen barbarians with your giblets trapped in a gelatinous cube. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the cockatrice showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to mop all the Siamese fighting fish in your hometown of Cowpat. So you kept going, right into the brewery of the evil Lord Arc'klor. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your knee handed to you.
