| It was hard growing up as a tavernkeep's son in the tiny hamlet of Quirm, in the land of Brazzleton. 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 you wandered the back alleys of Flytrap (and let's face it, most of that place is back alleys), a hand covered your mouth while a blade pushed gently at your ribs. You let yourself be dragged into a pitch-dark abandoned library. A sultry female voice introduced herself as Gamboge Dread crest. She asked you to undertake a quest to recover the Dauphin's lost hissing cockroach, Snuggles. Reasoning it was the best quest you'd get until you leveled up a bit, you agreed to help. It wasn't a thing until you got lost in a crypt -- all the walls looked exactly the same! You did find a sweet pike +1 in a hellhound's lair, though, and were able to intimidate some bandits into telling you where their boss's hideout was. Right before they stabbed you in the arse. Fortunately, "giving up" isn't in your dictionary (probably because it's two words), so you persevered. You fought your way through countless gypsies and jocks -- even a horse! But eventually you found the lair of the sinister Blood Knight Grognard, 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 X'tn'ch'roth and claimed your reward.
