Requiescat In Pace, Pappie

Papelbon Romero, 59, of Lurkwood in the northwestern part of Faerun, a half-a-day's journey from Longsaddle, died early Sunday morning, November 18th, 2007 at 1:01 a.m. Papelbon, or "Pappie" to his friends and fellow adventurers, was the half-elven son of Breaga Romero and Elessar Melwasul. He grew up on the westernmost fork of the River Surbin learning the human trades of cooking and weaving and logging. He lived there until his early 40s with his mother and sister Fhaella. After a tragic zombie attack on his village that left his mother and sister turned and among the victims, Pappie set out on his own in Lurkwood and the surrounding area to hone his ranger skills. He occasionally trekked with his half-brother Camthalion, a full-elf and also son of Elessar. Later, Pappie would make his way south to the cities and eventually to Waterdeep where he would meet companions Oakshade, Alas, Manderallen, Nola, Guy, and Zachary Longbeard. Their feats and sagas are of legend in Forgotten Realms. Pappie met his death at the hand of a dark wizard and a red dragon's breath. This was accompanied by and also due to the collapse of the Great Fortress of Mechanis and its subsequent submersion into the planar lava floes. Pappie is survived by fellow adventurer Manderallen and his adopted son, Melvin. Tributes can be made to the goddess Mielikki or to the local ranger's guild or affiliated Churches of Silvanus.
