| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Cowpat, without a father 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. As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Waltermatthau, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Cowpat, and heard the local seamstress talking about the ancient necropolis that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Emerald Idol of Krampus 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 got your foot caught in a gelatinous cube and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. However, you managed to overcome the odds (and your injuries), and after a lengthy crawl through a strip mall infested with orcs, you finally came upon the lair of the Blood Sorcerer Boneorphan, who was guarding the object of your quest. The evil fiend fell before your Greyhawk Army knife, 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).
