The Sneaksy Gnome (Adventure!)

[Ivory]

As I was looking around the elf city more....I kept noticing guards sleeping. I figured their shields were probably uncomfortable while napping, so I borrowed them!

I ..uhm....tried to look for the guards to return their shields later....but when I couldn't find them, I turned the shields into a nearby merchant for a finders fee! I made a few more platinum though! Elves really appreciate their shields being found! I'm really helpful.

But I couldn't get distracted! I was on a mission! I had to learn brewing so I could make myself a fancy weapon!

Only problem was Kelethin doesn't have a good place to learn brewing...so I had to go back to Ak'anon for a little bit to study it. All of the gnomes in the city I knew were pretty impressed by all of my fancy armor. I kept telling them I was on secret gnome adventuring business....but they didn't believe me. Oh well!

I spent all my money learning to brew just enough to get the parts for a whip....enough for two tries!

The first one failed....I wasn't sure what I would do if the second one failed too!! I was nervous to try and make it!

But I steadied myself and started sewing....and a few minutes later....I had done it!! I had made a whip!!

With this I could go back to adventuring! Even stronger than before!!!

So I stuck around the city and joined the elves in their war against the orcs for a while. An elf even cast some magic on me so I was pretty strong.

But....after a while....I started to hear rumors about a great bazaar. My whip was pretty good, of course! But I really wanted a mighty dagger.... I had saved up an entire 20pp again....maybe , just maybe, I could find something even stronger there? Or, at least find some adventure!

So, I left Kelethin and went to Butcherblock mountains to take the boat to freeport!

But, as I was passing through the mountains, I noticed a druid...hmmm....even better!! And away we went!!

When I got to the common lands... I had to find the bazaar...it was actually pretty easy to find with all of the traffic! It seemed there were probably over ten thousand people there!!

I walked around for a while....looking out for something that I could afford....and something that looked pokey.

Then I heard over all the shouting someone selling a dagger for 40pp!! It was double the amount I had!!

Hmm, but it was a pretty good dagger.....it was time to use my gnomish haggling skills. I would start off with all my money!!!

"Would you take...22pp for that dagger?! If you think about it, the dagger for a gnome is a lot smaller than a full sized dagger...so it should cost less...."

"Ok, I'll take 20pp"

Woa! It had worked!! On the first try!! And he didn't even hear me right!! He thought I said only 20pp!! I had a 2pp savings!!

I guess it was time to retire my whip. I wished I woulda thought of coming here sooner! I had spent so much time and money making it!! But oh well! Now I had....a jagged chokidai spine! I wonder what a chokidai is....

I was pretty proud of myself. This dagger was probably one of the best daggers in the world!

So I took some time to look around the bazaar some more...even though I was out of money.

That is when I met the swashbuckler....

"Psst....gnome....if you want to be a great adventurer....you gotta learn how to bandage wounds."

I wasn't sure how he knew I was going to be a great adventurer....or how he knew I hadn't tried bandaging wounds before, since I was too poor to afford bandages. But he was right!! If I was going to be a great adventurer, I had to learn!!!

Luckily I found a magician nearby who summoned me a bunch of bandages to practice with!

So, for the next long while, I practiced not only bandaging wounds....but also jumping from things to hurt myself! I'm happy to say I'm pretty good at both things now.

After all of that, I finally went to Freeport to rest and meet up with another gnome from Ak'anon. I knew I could stay there for the night at least. And he had a pretty good business going!! Maybe if this adventuring thing didn't work out I could sell drinks too!
