67. Mercenaries hired by your long, lost father abduct you right after your mother's death from plague, and rather than return you as they were commissioned to, they keep you and raise you as one of their own.


68. Whilst performing an experiment to prove a theory that you developed, you suddenly find yourself in uncharted territories, facing unfamiliar foes. Quickly aligning yourself with a warrior, a priest, a deposed royal, and a disgraced soldier, you flee on a sentient ship to parts unknown.

I dunno, what do you wanna do tonight?

70. What do you want to do tonight? Same thing we do every night; Try to take over the world!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?

Sure Brain, but chain mail chafes me so.


71. You find chain mail amazingly comfortable and the only way you can wear it without getting odd looks is to go adventuring.


72. You wake up one morning with no memory of the past few days. All you have is a wicked hangover, a baby goat with a pacifier in its mouth, and a sack of bruised tomatoes.

Shadow Lodge

73. Some old dude trusted you with a sword

74. You were set on a task by a god. Or at least you think it was a god. It could have been the mushrooms in your salad, but you're pretty certain it was a god that gave you this task, even if trying to find the lost Rabbit's foot of Narf as a quest is a bit strange, but, gods, go figure.

75. They were able to completely repair your knee.

They rebuilt you. They had the magic. They made you better, faster, harder, stronger...

77. You're paying homage to your hero, the 6 million platinum man

Steve Austin. Fighter. A man barely alive. Compatriots, we can rebuild him. We have the magic. We have the capability of making the world’s first golemic man. Steve Austin will be that man, better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster, magic and energy resistant, with extra feats and a better Base Attack Bonus…

I think you're confusing Steve Austin and Daft Punk.


78. The dictatorship under which you live keeps refusing to lower the interest on the loans you took out to attend Wizard School.

Talk to the hand. =)

79. You stopped to ask directions from this weird person with a question mark floating over their head. Next thing you knew you were off killing 1,024 rabbits for them and things kind of escalated.

Do I look like a Warcrack player?

* Goes off to update SWTOR.


80. Because it's always a bad idea to piss off the local magistrate.


81. A la Terry Pratchett.. Because of an Angel...

82. The King of Taprobale has been kidnapped by NINJAS.

Are you bad enough dudes to rescue the King?

83. Once upon a time, you too were a first-level adventurer. And you died due to a fight against goblins that didn't quite work out the way you wanted it. When you were brought before the Black Gates of Death's Kingdom, you saw your mortality in the form of Death himself, a skeletal figure shrouded in black. He pointed a bony finger at you, and said, "Frederick Lexford, thine time has come; your light is extinguish'd, your story endeth here."

And you looked upon Death, gazing straight into his hellfire eyes.

And you decreed, "#%$+ that!"

And lo! as you kicked Death in the Mommy/Daddy Button as hard as your 20 Strength wouldst allow.

You've been running ever since.

So... You pulled an Urgathoa then?

84. So that... and this took some work to figure out... the only realistic way to become high-level fast enough for your tastes was to adventure. And now, ever since you started by killing some goblins a while back, it's been like you're on a path of adventure. For now, you're Neutral... but that's all going to change once you finish the big quest ahead. Heh heh heh. You are going to be the biggest, baddest wizard around, and nobody's going to be able to stop you... It is going to be just glorious. Some would say "the world is your oyster", but that's wrong. The world is not an oyster.
