| You grew up on the skimpy streets of the great Emerald City, where contrary to popular belief, the streets are mainly paved with horse dung. Well, at least in your neighborhood. Small wonder you grew up to be a professional Thief. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Prefectford, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Stubborn Mule, and heard the local "seamstress" talking about the ancient sewer that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Topaz Idol of Grognard 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 going great until you got attacked by more jerks than you could handle. You were lucky to get out of there with your foot intact! Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless lizardmen and indigent native tribesmen -- even a bugbear! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Fire Marquis Blackfist, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a vending machine with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Llewllamarall and claimed your reward.
