| After the entire village of Molehill was murdered, including your mother and brother, you vowed to get your revenge. You became a mighty Fighter, albeit one who was easily distracted by sidequests. You rode into the city of Waxtoff, 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 Ruby Pelican of Kilmer, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient necropolis near the village of Sudoku, 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. You weren't having any problems until you got your knee caught in a vending machine and had to gnaw it off to escape. Fortunately, you don't need that to be a hero... but you will sort of miss it. 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 jocks, you made your way to the lair of Death Barbarian Dave and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul beholder to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your yo-yo and knocked the villain screaming into a swinging razor-sharp pendulum with a well-placed kick to the bung. At last, the treasure was yours!
