Furnbottom Jansen was an aging adventurer from the vast Jansen gnome family, who lived sometime in the early-to-mid–14th century DR.[1]

A wonderful memory... until he attracted a griffon with all that shiny armor. The griffon would have enjoyed a plate of turnips more than stringy old Uncle Furnbottom. He put up quite the fight going down. Not unlike a bad turnip, especially if you don't wash it in a spring. Hmm. I've lost track of where I was going with this...

Relationships[]

Jan Jansen and Kylie Jansen were Furnbottom's nephew and niece.[1]

History[]

In the Year of the Gauntlet, 1369 DR, Kylie Jansen reminisced about her uncle's heroic adventuring career. She liked to tell a story about how handsome old Furnbottom looked in his shiny polished golden heavy armor and the sword risen high. However, the gnome's career ended when a hungry griffon got attracted to the Furnbottom's shine and swooped down from the sky at him like a gnome on a platter of turnips. Furnbottom fought valiantly on the way down.[1]
