| Ever since you were a little boy, you wanted to become a mighty pirate and sail the seven seas, looting and plundering. Unfortunately, the country of Marmosettia is totally land-locked, so you had to settle for being a Thief. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Eggshire, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Piehole, and heard the local bard talking about the ancient tomb that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Ruby Idol of Grimtooth that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. At first it was a real breeze, until you dropped your spoon in a cheese-grater and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the barbarians showed up. However, you managed to overcome the odds (and your injuries), and after a lengthy crawl through a crypt infested with hobos, you finally came upon the lair of the Shadow Knight Grimtooth, who was guarding the object of your quest. The evil fiend fell before your pike, and the land was finally free of his foul shenanigans. You made your way back to civilization, and basked in the glory of your success (and the reward money).
