| Life was hard as a young man growing up in the city of Wibbleshire, and it became even harder when you had your heart stolen by a ugly, homely midwife. You became a Thief, in order to steal it back (with interest). As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of X'tn'ch'roth, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Frog, and heard the local village idiot talking about the ancient pyramid that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Ruby Idol of Diabolicus 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. It wasn't a thing until you got attacked by more skeletons than you could handle. You were lucky to get out of there with your nipple intact! You holed up in a small storeroom with a lockable door, and spent several weeks resting until your hitpoints were back to full. Then, keeping a careful eye out for accountants, you made your way to the lair of Devil Giant Poisongiant and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul bulette to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your bardiche and knocked the villain screaming into a antlion pit with a well-placed kick to the kidney. At last, the treasure was yours!
