Character Class: Gnome Sorcerer, Sylvan Bloodline with a Gorilla animal companion
Character Background:
Tinerspunt hails from the Grungir Forest in the Lands of the Linnorm Kings where humans, gnomes, and fey live side-by-side. From an early age, Tinerspunt showed the classic signs of the wonderlust. He would travel deep into the forest, much to the chagrin of his parents, but his innate magical talents and charm could always get him out of trouble. This is until one autumn day, he traveled farther than ever before and was on his way back when the first of the great winter storms hit. The snows came fast and soon became a furious blizzard. All would have been lost if a group of pixies had not happened upon him. To this day it is unclear to Tiner whether they know the full ramifications of what they did, but they beckoned him forward. As he followed, the cold lessened, the trees changed, and he began to see all kinds of creatures he had never seen before. He soon found himself in what could best be described as a tropical forest. Having saved the young gnome, the pixies flew off in delight. Having grown up around the fey, he soon realized where he was: the First World.
He was ecstatic as this was the kind of adventure he desired. It was only later that he realized he might not be able to make it back out again. He was trapped in a world as mercurial, alien, and dangerous as the fey themselves. However, Tinerspunt’s countless adventures in the Grungir Forest had prepared him for such an occurrence his usual mix of charm and magic kept him alive. He soon befriended a young Gorilla by the name of MorningWindRufflestheLeaves (roughly translated from gorilla) using the gnomes’ innate magical ability to speak with animals. With the help of Ruffles, as Tiner would teasingly call him, Tiner was able to trick a Redcap into showing him the way out of the First World. Unfortunately, the easiest way out (and thus the path the Redcap took) led to the Mwangi Expanse. MorningWindRufflestheLeaves followed Tinerspunt into the material plane and, ever optimistic, Tiner vowed to continue to view the experience as a grand adventure vowing to travel the world and eventually make his way back home.
However, two things now haunt the intrepid gnome. First, he is afraid a certain Redcap has not forgiven him. Second, in his travels, he found out that creatures of the First World are undying when remaining in their home plane but have no chance of afterlife when in others. He has thus vowed to find a way to return Ruffles to the First World.
This adventure finds Tinerspunt midway through his journey having made it onto Avistan, traveled through Andoran, Isger, Molthune, and into Nirmatas. Though he purposefully avoided Cheliax, he does regret not having seen a devil. And so when he hears the rumors, he finds himself traveling to Arwyll Stead. He has always wanted to see a devil.
