| 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 Shuntington is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. In the fiefdom of Brazzleton, in the unpleasant-smelling backwater of Mondale, you found an inn with cheap firewater and spent the night carousing. There, you heard a tale of the forgotten treasure of the Amethyst Forests, lost for ages during the time of the great winnowing. You decided to seek the treasure yourself, heedless of the literal mountain of skeletons of those who had tried before you. Everything was going great until you had to actually go in the dungeon. That was when you fell in a cheese-grater, got attacked by goblins, and got your leg bitten off by a weretiger. 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 dark elves, you made your way to the lair of Skull Giant Screamgorilla and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul rakshasa to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your morningstar and knocked the villain screaming into a awkward conversation with a well-placed kick to the shoulder. At last, the treasure was yours!
