| At an early age, you were apprenticed to the Great Wizard T. J., but you grew tired of having to filter the floors and brush the alchemical equipment day in and day out. So, you stole a spellbook and took off to become a Wizard on your own. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Pig-in-a-Poke. There, you met the town crier's serpent-tongued homie, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Amber Puppy. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. Everything was hunky-dory until you got your face caught in a lava pool and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. 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 bullywugs, you made your way to the lair of Dragon Overlord Baaaal and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul bistre slaad to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your shiv and knocked the villain screaming into a crocodile's mouth with a well-placed kick to the skull. At last, the treasure was yours!
