| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Pitlick, without a cousin or grandmother to teach you right from wrong. On the other hand, you wouldn't have grown up to be such a talented Thief otherwise. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Phlegm. There, you met a farmer's homely cousin, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Ruby Caribou. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. You weren't having any problems up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a crocodile's mouth and a sphere of annihilation, with a bugbear bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your nipple. However, you managed to overcome the odds (and your injuries), and after a lengthy crawl through a necropolis infested with gunslingers, you finally came upon the lair of the Frost Sorcerer Englebert, who was guarding the object of your quest. The evil fiend fell before your staff, 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).
