| At an early age, you were apprenticed to the Great Wizard Alex, but you grew tired of having to tidy the floors and comb 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 Zevroozlchester, 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 Amethyst Goat of Mahoganybury Grove, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient strip mall near the village of Cowpat, 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. It was pretty easy, until you had to fend off half a dozen gangsters with your arm trapped in a spiked pit. Fortunately, most of them ran away when the rust monster showed up, and you played dead until it left. That's not very heroic, but hey, it worked. Bruised but unbroken, you readied your staff and marched forth into the darkness, where you were immediately captured by the Dark Warrior Grimtooth's army of drunken kobolds. They hauled you before their master, but got bored and wandered off during his long gloating speech. Seeing your chance, you pushed the evil hayseed into his own antlion pit, and escaped to claim your reward from the grateful people of Coney Island.
