| As a child, you exhibited a normal of unusual talents, including the ability to Ferris Wheel the first day you picked up a yo-yo. So your parents, creeped out by your paranormal abilities, enrolled you in Fandanzia Wizard School. Before long, you earned your Nu of Azure and could set out to make your fortune. You rode into the city of Winklesbury, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Amethyst Stork of Shaffly-on-Surrey, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tower near the village of Spazmotic, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. Everything was going great up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a iron maiden and a antlion pit, with a flesh golem bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your arm. 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 jerks, you made your way to the lair of Death Warlock Thorndouble and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul roper to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your spear and knocked the villain screaming into a crocodile's mouth with a well-placed kick to the groin. At last, the treasure was yours!
