| When you were growing up in the little town of Sudoku, you always wanted to be a mighty Cleric. You ended up being a Fighter instead, because you didn't have the right prime requisites. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Eggshire, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Ironforge, and heard the local midwife talking about the ancient necropolis that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Diamond Idol of Morgar 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. It was pretty easy, up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a sphere of annihilation and a antlion pit, with a rust monster bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your calf. 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 orphans, you made your way to the lair of Horror Marquis Diabolico and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul rust monster to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your battleaxe and knocked the villain screaming into a crocodile's mouth with a well-placed kick to the kidney. At last, the treasure was yours!
