| Life was hard as an orphan on the streets of Bobcat, without a uncle 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. In the fiefdom of Blurstishire, in the unpleasant-smelling backwater of Foobar, you found an inn with cheap micheladas and spent the night carousing. There, you heard a tale of the forgotten treasure of the Amber Forests, lost for ages during the time of the great upheaval. You decided to seek the treasure yourself, heedless of the literal mountain of skeletons of those who had tried before you. Everything was going great until you got lost in a ruin -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet 10' pole +1 in a carrion crawler's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some ents into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the thigh. 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 orcs, you made your way to the lair of Skull Warlock Grimtooth and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul shoggoth to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your crossbow and knocked the villain screaming into a iron maiden with a well-placed kick to the knee. At last, the treasure was yours!
