| It was hard growing up as a chambermaid's son in the tiny hamlet of Sudoku, in the land of Waltermatthau. The other children mocked you because of your glasses and asthma, but you would have the last laugh when you grew up to be a mighty Wizard! (Which you did.) As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Lurkmoor, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Bobcat, and heard the local tavernkeep talking about the ancient pyramid that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Amber Idol of Grognard 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 had to actually go in the dungeon. That was when you fell in a sphere of annihilation, got attacked by tramps, and got your bung bitten off by a flesh golem. But, you put on your brave face, and made your way through the caverns and caves to where the Ice Knight Diabolico held court over his horde of homely gunslingers, and with uncountable swings of your brass knuckles (and a few well-placed attacks of opportunity), you finally slew the horrible troll and rode back to town to claim your glory (and reward).
