| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Gallston, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a raven-haired, serpent-tongued milkmaid. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). As you wandered the back alleys of Buttole (and let's face it, most of that place is back alleys), a hand covered your mouth while a blade pushed gently at your ribs. You let yourself be dragged into a pitch-dark abandoned comic shop. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Grue Dirge bane. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Lord of Flansburgh's lost hamster, Stinky. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. You were kickin' ass and chewin' bubblegum but then you wandered into a room totally full of hobgoblins, plus a flesh golem, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. But all that drama couldn't stop you. You'd never given up on anything, not even your childhood quest to mop all the gerbil in your hometown of Pittsburgh. So you kept going, right into the library of the evil Warlock Hasslehoff. Fortunately for you, he was out for lunch at the time, so you could grab some loot and get out before you got your head handed to you.
