| Lacking the patience to be a Mage and the brawn to be a Fighter, you decided to be the next best thing: a professional chef. Sadly, your recipe for fried shortcake was unappreciated by the plebes in your tiny hometown of Mudhole, so you became a professional Thief instead. You rode into the city of Keaton, 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 Lizard of Coney Island, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient dungeon near the village of Rusty Nail, 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. You were doing a good job until you dropped your flail in a cheese-grater and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the barbarians showed up. Bruised but unbroken, you readied your sack of doorknobs and marched forth into the darkness, where you were immediately captured by the Terror Lawyer Angermaster's army of simple accountants. They hauled you before their master, but got bored and wandered off during his long gloating speech. Seeing your chance, you pushed the evil twit into his own sphere of annihilation, and escaped to claim your reward from the grateful people of Kilmer.
