Joe

Joseph Buckman, an aging fighter, back from extended absence.

Character Bio/Backstory

Joe's home town was just a small place with dirt roads. He set off one moring and hiked to the nearby hills. There were several caves in the hills, caves where treasures could be found, guarded by monsters. He had heard that a man named Bargle might also be found in these caves. Bargle was a sort of bandit, who had been stealing money, killing people, and terrorizing Joe's town. If he could catch him, Joe could become a hero!

You should know how this ended, but just in case you never played the Joe's first adventure from the Mentzer D&D Basic set: Bargle the magic-user slew his new-found companion Aleena with a Magic missile. This soured Joe's taste for adventure, but now he's once again setting foot on this path. Older, but not much wiser...
