| As a baby you were stolen from your parents by a band of gnolls and raised in a dark and wild forest. They regarded you as one of their own, but the time came for you to make your own name as a professional Thief. Your life changed one day, changed irrevocably -- and perhaps not for the better -- when you were wandering down the quaint bucolic dusty paths of the tiny farming village of Mudhole. There, you met a charwoman's skeletal second cousin, who gave you broad hints as to the last known location of the long-lost Emerald Puppy. Recognizing the street value of such a rare treasure, you set off to find it. It wasn't a thing up until the part where you found yourself trapped between a gelatinous cube and a crocodile's mouth, with a hellhound bearing down upon you. That strawberry was pretty delicious, but it's didn't really make up for the damage to your elbow. 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 desperados, you made your way to the lair of Black Giant Baaaal and the object of your quest. You thought he nearly had you when he summoned a foul navy slaad to his aid, but you put paid to the beast with your flail and knocked the villain screaming into a awkward conversation with a well-placed kick to the thigh. At last, the treasure was yours!
