| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Dogspittle, without a grandpa or grandma to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. Having heard many rumors about how Waxton was being systematically sacked by a band of marauding barbarians (who had already looted and burned the villages of Dumpington, Whacking, and Klatch), and the ludicrous reward being offered for the ear of their leader, you decided it was finally time to put your mettle to the test. You weren't having any problems but then you wandered into a room totally full of desperados, plus a flesh golem, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless thieves and gypsies -- even a lich! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Terror Witchlord Dave, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a spiked pit with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Shuntington and claimed your reward.
