Dr. Gadri Tamble, affectionately known as "Doc Tamble" by peers and friends, is a gnome whose brilliance is as vast as the multiverse he studies. An esteemed wizard with a peculiar character, he has left an indelible mark on the fabric of Fair Coin and beyond.
A Scholar of the Arcane
Doc Tamble is a master of teleportation and extra-planar travel, a subject he passionately teaches at Silverymoon University. His expertise is so advanced that only a handful of students can grasp the complexities of his lessons each year. His experiences across various planes of existence have shaped decades, if not centuries, of knowledge—time being a fluid concept in his line of work.
Affinity for the Elemental Plane of Water
His connection to the Elemental Plane of Water is as mysterious as it is profound. While he divulges little, it's evident that the plane holds a special place in his heart, or perhaps it is a place of refuge or a source of his arcane prowess.
A Pact with the Primordial
The Heroes of Fair Coin discovered his unique bond with a primordial water elemental, a being of ancient power. In a selfless act, he negotiated a deal with the elemental to restore the life of his beloved student, Kaelyn Harper. This act, observed by the Heroes during their protective vigil, fortified an alliance and cemented Tamble's reputation as a staunch ally.
A Sacrificial Decline
The price of the pact was steep, extracting a toll on Doc Tamble's health that magic could not heal. His vitality waned rapidly post-deal, a shadow of the cost paid for meddling with primordial forces.
The Pelican and Lucy
Dr. Tamble's ship, "The Pelican," is a marvel of enchantment, capable of aerial and interplanar voyages—a testament to his genius. His familiar, Lucy, is a magical goose of surprising intellect and not only aids him in his travels but also steps in to teach his classes, much to the chagrin and secret admiration of the university administration.
Aiding the Heroes
The gnome wizard played a pivotal role in the Heroes of Fair Coin's endeavors, facilitating their travels with his teleportation abilities. His most critical assistance came in the form of a portal to a hidden dimension, holding it open against the odds while the Heroes conducted a daring rescue.
Lost Between Worlds
As the mission reached its climax, an unknown force attacked the portal, leading to its catastrophic collapse. While the Heroes and the Ghost Elves they saved emerged unscathed, Tamble was swept away into an interdimensional void. Though presumed dead by many, his student Kaelyn Harper holds onto hope, believing that her mentor's vast knowledge has merely left him adrift, waiting to be found.
