After a successful adventure....I decided to rest a little bit before helping the ogres and trolls and dark elves with their shields.
So I headed back to the commonlands to do what I assume everyone does to celebrate.....make gnome trains!!

We trained all around the tunnel! It was probably the most glorious train ever!!
That was....until the dark elf who had been biding her time at the end slowly worked her way to the front....and hijacked us!!!

And then we all blew up.
But it was only temporary.
So I continued to look around the cave and relax....and then.... I saw it....the most fancy gnome in the world!!! Who might have actually been a clockwork! It is still a mystery.

Being a little jealous, I decided to do some celebration shopping!! I couldn't be as fancy as the fancy gnome....but maybe I could increase my fancyness by a few percentage points at least.
After carefully looking through the various merchants goods....I decided to spend some of my treasure on new adventuring armor from a fellow rogue. He even sold me the breastplate for a great price! And threw in gloves for free!!!
What? Don't look at me like that! It was an investment! In the long term I knew it would earn me back even more money and get me to a million platinums even faster! Also makes me more stylish, which is very important for adventuring.

As I was enjoying my new stylish look and celebrating by showing off my great new mask and stylish armor.....I heard more rumors.....rumors of treasure....
It seemed there was a secret ruined city with riches beyond any gnomes imagination!!! And even....legends said....a great bow!!! Though few had seen it.
As I got more information about the city....it turned out I had been there before!!! One of my first adventures!! The old city of paineel! Though when I had been there last time I'd only seen the death pit part....
Oh well, I was sure my experience would come in handy! Even if I would have to find another way down....it was time to go!!
Luckily nearby was a druid looking for people to take places (I guess that is how druids have fun).

"Why yes, I would love a teleport mr druid! Take me to the treasure!!"
And after a short spell we were teleported to the land of Erudins! Though, upon arriving the druid was ambushed by a bloodthirsty kobold....lucky for him I was there to save him.

I knew more would be coming soon .....if we didn't get out of there an army of kobolds would have surely come for revenge. So I waved goodbye to the druid and set off to find the city of paineel again.

I had heard that in order to enter the ruined part of the city, without death holes, there was a secret entrance under a pool....blocked by a boulder
The problem was it needed a key which I didn't have ....and everyone knows boulders are pretty HARD to pick. (ho ho ho ho he he he he he).
But no boulder could stand in the way of a gnome!!
Using my unique physical attributes I contorted my body into different gnome shapes. After some work and lots of wiggling I managed squeeze through a crack next to the boulder.....a perfect fit!!

Finally I had made it to the ruined city for real!!! I wasn't sure how I would find treasure...or how dangerous it would be....but that never stopped me before!!! It was time for adventure!!!
