| You grew up on the illegal streets of the great Topaz 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 you wandered the back alleys of Molehill (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 tannery. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Fallow Crypt soul. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover a knight's lost Siamese fighting fish, Cuddleface. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. At first it was a real breeze, until you got your bung caught in a beartrap 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. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Fire Barbarian Arc'klor held court over his horde of homely lizardmen, and with uncountable swings of your handaxe (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible airhead and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
