their lives! (and some loot). Then they turned their travels to the
Underdark.

world. Then they followed an old treasure map to the deserts of Calimshan
to an ancient pyramid and found some magic, but were forced to flee upon

forced to use an enchanted rod to escape. Then they set out on sea

chamber as their base of operations) the trio deccided that they had gained
enough old magic and returned once again to the surface. But news

wealth spread like wild fire after Lleirea opened her big mouth, and after
having several attempted assassinations the trio fled to Agralond
to allow things to die down and so they could rest.
Couple
weeks pass and the trio travel to Calimport, purchase a magic flying carpet
from a street vendor and unknown to them the carpet had a mind
of its own and it flew it and its riders into the window of a mages tower.
Whisper, tempted by her old rogueish days, saw a beautiful amulent on display
and her light finders snatched it just as the archmage with iron golems
blasted into the room. But the trio fled on carpet out into the open air
above Calimport!
Once Whisper put on the Amulent
all of them, including the carpet were whisked into the Astral Plane. They
were lost amongst the outer planes, unsure of how to get home!
1281/
After 18 years of wandering around the Astral
Plane, and the other planes of existence. The trio finally found a gate
that actually led back to the Realms (unlike countless other gates they
had tried which always put them in other planes or other worlds!)
After the countless years
of being on guard constantly had put its toil on thee trio and they all
retired to Waterdeep to spend some time in personal research.
1296/
15 years past, meannwhile the
trio go about their own spell researches and item research as they lead
separate non-adventuring lives and relax. Then a family reunion is called
back in WestGate, and the twins (plus Astribulous) head home to visit
siblings they had never seen.
Alexius, Randolf and Selphia
met with their older sisters and their friend. Plus their parents revealed
their families secret of agelessness, the potion of agelessness...and how
to create it for themselves.
The 6 of them set out from
Westgate towards the Cormanthyr woods, with no real destination in mind.
We were hired by to hunt down and slay a small clan of orcs that
had been ravaging near by trade routes. We slew all 45 of the orcs and
on our way through Cormanthyr they were hit by a tiny thief, and after
chasing after him, all were led into the midst of a band of adventurers
led by a Ranger named Drake.

and the dragonmaws joined together to form the Company off the Fiery 12.

Whisper (former theif/mage), Lleirea ( formerfighter/mage),
Astribulous (mage), Alexius (druid), Randolf(fighter), Selphia( former
fighter/ priestess of Mystra), Drake (ranger), Regelan (thief), Damascus
of Tyr (paladin), Melinda (abjurer), Kelia (priestess of Tymora), Razrum

Realms after exploration of the lower planes to witness an old ally die
to the magic of a Red Wizard of Thay...Razrum (member of the Company of
the fiery 12) dies. Witnessing this changes Astrilikins view on life, and
she seeks an old mentor (a white necromancer) to aid her. Astrilikin dies
and Whisper is reborn, though she is destined to be an Archlich. Using
illusionary magic to hide it from family and friends.
Whisper cant stand lieing
about her state of being and seeks the Goddess Mystra in the outer planes
for aid. She travels to Nirvana, and eventually gains her audience. A pact
was formed on my part to study under two powerful female archmages, then
i would be summoned to destroy an artifact the red wizards were going to
create. Whisper is mortal again and among the living.
1332/
Whispers
apprenticship ends and she tracks down the artifact and destroys it at
the cost of her own life. Though the Goddess revives her and Whisper appears
