| After the entire village of Malph was murdered, including your girlfriend and cousin, you vowed to get your revenge. You became a mighty Fighter, albeit one who was easily distracted by sidequests. In the fiefdom of Fandanzia, in the unpleasant-smelling backwater of Bobcat, you found an inn with cheap zima and spent the night carousing. There, you heard a tale of the forgotten treasure of the Sapphire Woods, lost for ages during the time of the great flood. You decided to seek the treasure yourself, heedless of the literal mountain of skeletons of those who had tried before you. You were doing a nifty job until you got lost in a pyramid -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet entrenching tool +1 in a carrion crawler's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some orcs into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the foot. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless skeletons and bullywugs -- even a carrion crawler! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Grim Marquis Englebert, and were able to defeat him by knocking him into a antlion pit with a lucky critical hit. Bruised but successful, you made it back to the nearby city of Brazzleton and claimed your reward.
