| Due to a misunderstanding, your girlfriend enrolled you in Marmosettia Wizard School at a young age. (You were actually just interested in card tricks.) Still, you graduated with high marks, and set out on your first adventure as a full-fledged Wizard. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Schmalbion, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Frog, and heard the local stableboy talking about the ancient sewer that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Ruby Idol of Clawskull 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. You were doing a wicked job but you soon were confounded by a fiendish sliding-block puzzle, and by the time you figured out to solve it, you were angry as an underfed parakeet. 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 skeletons, you made your way to the lair of Terror Devil Lord Baaaal and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul bugbear to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your staff and knocked the villain screaming into a sphere of annihilation with a well-placed kick to the lower back. At last, the treasure was yours!
