Elizabeth Rose "Buffy" Bambino

8/16/1349 - 7/23/1369

The third child of a well-to-do merchant familly in Sundabar, "Buffy", as her familly called her, stood out amoung her siblings at an early age by virtue of both her beauty and her exceptional intelligence. Although a rift existed between Elizabeth Rose and her father from her early childhood, he nevertheless arranged for her to be apprenticed with the talented enchantress Madame Seluria, where she learned her trade.

At the start of spring in the Year of the Gauntlet, Elizabeth Rose left home in search of her sister Bambi, who had disappeared the year before. At the end of Mirtul she found her sister and met AFAL, whom she decided to join to look after Bambi.

Buffy met her end in a forgotten temple of Shar, which her party was exploring. While trying to antagonize a piece of statuary that he believed to be a monster, Henkles inadvertently set off an explosion that injured half the party and killed Elizabeth Rose instantly. Her body was recovered and a moonlight funeral service was performed by Dexter of Selune on Eliasias 4th.

Buffy is survived by her father, Bruno, her mother, Betty, her three brothers, Billy Bob, Bart and Bruce, her two sisters Rebecka "Becky" Iris and Bambi, and her brother-in-law Son of Moogh.

Stewart, Moon Knight of Selune

1/6/1335 - 12/1/1369

When he completed his training as a Moon Knight, Stewart of Selune, as he was now known, resumed the wandering that had brought him to the church in the first place, this time to preach the word of Selune in the Savage North. It was in the North, while travelling through Everlund that he met his fellow priest, Dexter of Selune, and with him became one of the founding members of AFAL. Stewart was a major contributor to AFAL and continued to serve Selune faithfully, accomplishing the desecration of several temples and shrines of Shar and other evil dieties. Stewart is perhaps best remembered for his unique charm, his legendary capacity for drink, and his daring confrontation with flying wererats while dangling at the end of a rope.

Stewart died in battle in Undermountain, during an attempt to avenge the honor of a young lady. Already badly wounded from a brave attack on a demon, Stewart insisted on maintaining his position at the head of the party, where he was felled by the combined breath of three St. Elmo's Hounds and the detonation of the many offensive magic items he bore. His remains were intered at the House of the Moon in Waterdeep and a memorial service was performed on his behalf by his comrade Dexter of Selune.

Nothing is known of Stewart's familly, but he left 1cp each to two Halflings, Reginald and Featherdown Nimblytoes, in his will.

Gomsha of Other Tusk Mountain

9/4/1357 - 12/1/1369

A Mountain Orc of the Other Tusk Clan, Gomsha was most noted amoung her community for the interesting patterns she would make from loose rocks when the males weren't around to kick them apart and being of child-bearing age.

Gomsha's life took an unexpected turn in early Uktar in the Year of the Gauntlet. While being escorted to her betrothal ceremony, her party inadvertently triggered a gate created by Halaster, the Mad Mage of Undermountain, that trapped them all within that dungeon. After wandering the halls of Undermountain for several days and several unfortunate confrontations with other denizens of the dungeon, the band was set upon by a stronger band of goblins who slew the rest of her party and captured Gomsha for a ritual sacrifice. Fortunately for Gomsha, those Goblins were then attacked by AFAL, who slew the goblins and rescued Gomsha. Gomsha was quite taken by Narthandarkanas, a priest of Tempus, and was taken in by the party that had rescued her.

Gomsha's life ended abruptly when AFAL encountered a band of ogres, minotaurs, and st. elmo's hounds. The combined breath attacks from the three hounds proved too much for her and she died moments before her comrade in arms, Stewart of Selune, also perished. Gomsha's remains were buried in the back yard of Fair Winds and a brief ceremony was performed by Narthan.

Gomsha is survived by her fiancé, Kurgh of Small Tusk Mountain, twelve of her brothers, Grum, Gack, Urgh, Gurarhrg, Churgh, Breghulg, Nurkhul, G'ack, Gack-ack, Grack, Urghul, and Murgh, seven of her sisters (all Gomsha), her lover, Narthandarkanas nha Kandar of Tempus, and four of her potential fathers, Manghan, Muk, Mugh and Charlagh. She had three children, none of whom survived to their naming ceremony.
