| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Pitlick, without a uncle or sister to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Swampleton, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Ironforge, and heard the local bard talking about the ancient tower that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Silver Idol of Baaaal 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. You had a good handle on it but then you wandered into a room totally full of orphans, plus a lich, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. However, you managed to overcome the odds (and your injuries), and after a lengthy crawl through a strip mall infested with indigent native tribesmen, you finally came upon the lair of the Evil Knight Hasslehoff, who was guarding the object of your quest. The evil fiend fell before your battleaxe, 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).
