Ok then here goes. Maybe I should start by telling you a little bit
about myself.....
WHO?
I'm Frillinix The Magnificent. I
told you that already.
WHAT?
My incredible good looks and general
magnificence - hence the name - are due mostly to amazing luck as I was
born a Fremlin. We are a race of handsome & intelligent flying goblinoids that are often mistaken for imps, which
I would find rather amusing if it wasn't for superstitious folk trying to
kill me.
We are closely related to Gremlins and are generally mischievous rather
than malicious but we tend to suffer from their sordid reputation all the
same.
I come from quite a small family, there
are only 8 of us broodlings so Mim & Dod have quite an easy time of
it. I have 2 older brothers Ibble and Dibble and 2 older sisters
Obble and Gobble. There were 3 of us in my brood so I have 2 twins
Billi and Milli. Then there is little Spandex The Splendiferous, my
younger sister. Unfortunately her 4 broodlings did not survive a
difficult birth so she was given a special name to make up for being an
only child. When I started adventuring I thought I needed a more
impressive moniker than just Frilli so I followed the example of my little
sis and made it much grander. We all get on tremendously except for
Gobble. She's got a bit of a chip on her shoulder which isn't helped
by me constantly making jokes about her name - she doesn't like me
much!
WHERE?
I come from an alternate plane of existence
to yours. This may be a hard concept to grasp for some of
you 'flat earth' types so I won't try to explain too much as it will melt
your brains. Being extra planar means I am immune to all non-magical
weapons and damage which has come in REALLY useful on a number of
occasions. Another natural benefit is my size. Standing an
impressive 15" at my ear tips I am quite tall for a Fremlin but very
small compared to all the humanoid races that exist on this plane. I
have found races in general here are very 'sizist' and bigger is always
considered better. Port over to my plane and you'll find that is
definitely not the case. Maybe you've heard of one of my distant
relations - Yoda? 'Nuff said.
WHY?
So why am I here? Some of the
places, beings and dimensions (steady, you flat earthers) in my plane are
REALLY weird & nasty and being a friendly little creature like me can
be very scary indeed. In my travels I became aquainted with a
powerful being who goes by the aka of Tanith The Red (I can't pronounce
her real name). She said she was coming over to the Forgotten Realms
on some sort of work experience gig and asked if I wanted to tag along for
a laugh.
WHEN?
I arrived in the Realms about 2 years ago and have been having a grand time of it since.
HOW?
This is the really interesting part. I'm going to tell you all
about my intrepid adventures and all the exciting things that have
happened to me in my journal. Zip on over and read the
latest........
