| At an early age, you were apprenticed to the Great Wizard Red, but you grew tired of having to muck out the floors and muck out the alchemical equipment day in and day out. So, you stole a spellbook and took off to become a Wizard on your own. You rode into the city of Waltermatthau, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Topaz Eagle of Ov'reezy, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient crypt near the village of Flytrap, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. Everything was hunky-dory until you got lost in a tower -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet pike +1 in a roper's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some kobolds into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the lower back. Bruised but unbroken, you readied your Greyhawk Army knife and marched forth into the darkness, where you were immediately captured by the Dark Lord Poisonsword's army of skeletal bandits. They hauled you before their master, but got bored and wandered off during his long gloating speech. Seeing your chance, you pushed the evil idiot into his own spiked pit, and escaped to claim your reward from the grateful people of Flansburgh.
