It was time to get to exploring....
I was surprised to find that the dragons lair wasn't a lair at all....it was actually a city!!! An ancient feople city!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I spent so long exploring....avoiding the feople as they patrolled the hallways.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Eventually....I discovered their dark secrets though.....they were harvesting brains!!!!!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] When I stumbled upon their jail cells....I felt sorry for the iksar they had trapped.....they would surely take his brain.... But then I realized according to gnome science, iksars brains are no where as big as the one I saw. Did you know iksars brains are actually more walnut sized? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As I explored more....eventually I stumbled upon a troll sleeping on the ground. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] For some reason I guess the feople thought he was dead? But I could tell right away, nope, he was just pretending. "Hay troll, you need help?" "Oh...gnome....I'm trapped" "You seem to be in a pickle! Wants me to help? I GOTTA PLAN!!" "Yes please" I knew what I had to do..... I poked the troll in the side with my dagger so he got up! The feople, realizing he wasn't really dead, all rushed to attack him!! It was over quickly.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You see, I couldn't carry a live troll all by myself!! Gnome science has shown dead bodies are over 90 percent lighter than living ones!! I snuck his body away from the feople and up through the dungeon. I had seen other adventurers somewhere in here... I was sure someone could fix dead-itus! Sure enough I found a cleric with good enough magic and the troll was back! He was saved!! All thanks to gnomes!! While at the entrance with other adventurers, I figured this was my chance to join a party of fellows and go into the dungeon deeper. I still didn't know my way around ....so this would be good for everyone. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] One person, an iksar named Arget was forming a group.....but for some reason he disbanded me even after inviting me!!! After forming up they ran off deeper into the dungeon.... Oh well, I guess I could keep exploring alone. I continued down a few minutes later.....and.....well, this is what happens when you don't have a gnome in your party.

I had already been in Sebilis for a while....and gotten to know the feople halls fairly ok.
But I still hadn't found ancient treasure!!! Still, those rumors of a dragon....maybe that was where I needed to go, where the dragon slept. Everyone knows dragons have the best treasure, if I could find him I would be richer than even king akanon! Problem was I wasn't sure how to do that.... Until I eventually ran across another rogue sneaksin around the hallways. "Hay, you! I see you!!! Do you know where the dragon is?" "What? Why do you want to go there?" "You have to ask?! Treasure!!" And with that, we descended deeper into the dungeon together.....further than any gnome had gone before.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Along the way I also discovered a perfect swimming practicing pool!! I would come to know this pool well....spending many a day swimming in it behind the backs of the feople. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Eventually we found the true lair of the dragon!!! And everywhere we great golems!! But....no dragon. Thanking the rogue he left to do whatever he was doing....leaving me there, in the lair..... And with that, I had found my new home. I would wait for the dragon to appear, and take his treasure before he realized what had happened! It was a foolproof plan! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I got to know the golems well. The big one? His name is Biggy G (g for golem). We became pretty good friends..... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As long as he didn't see me..... For days I slept in the room waiting for the dragon to come. No one ever came down this far into the lair.... I would entertain myself by sneaking (the most fun activity, of course). Until one day....a skeleton appeared!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] He seemed pretty friendly. We talked about all sorts of things. Eventually I told him why I was there, looking for the dragons treasure. He didn't seem to care too much about the dragon , or treasure, I guess he just didn't have the stomach for that kinda stuff (ho ho ha ha ho). "Looking for treasure? You see that froglok over there?" "The what? You mean the feople? Yea I see him." "He happens to keep some of the most powerful treasure...gifted to him by the great dragon himself!" "A feople does?!? Thank you for telling me skeleton!!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] From then on....all I could do was think about the feople surrounded by his golem army..... I wondered what kind of treasure he had....the most powerful treasure..... I had to find out what it was!! "Feople! What kind of treasure do you have?!" "Who said that?!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "You don't need to know the details! What is your great treasure?!" "You'll never know! I am the great Tolapumj! It's mine!!" "I see.... then we do this the hard way....." Bum bum bummmmm. | ||

I had to think of how I would defeat the feople! I could tell he was strong....perhaps even stronger than Biggy G! Or even the dragon! Wherever he was!
Taking more of my daily swims, I thought hard about what I would do.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If I knew how to make poisons....I would poison him! ....but I didn't....so....couldn't.... Maybe I could trip Biggy G to fall onto him?! Smashing him in one shot?! No no, then my treasure would get smooshed too..... It looked like I was gonna need help....but this was where few dared to go.... More days passed. I tried everything I could think of. Even using my gnomish communications device to send for help....but there was no one strong enough to do the job.... That is, until one day when I was doing my sneak laps I saw a grouping of adventurers overlooking the lair!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Fellow adventurers!!! Lead by the mighty Airborn! After a little convincing I got them to agree to battle the feople with me. Though, we knew we wouldn't be allowed to fight the feople alone.....especially with Biggy G around. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I tried to talk Biggy G out of fighting us....but he couldn't be reasoned with! Also, he didn't know who I was. I guess this is how one sided relationships go. One side gets to secretly know the other side without reciprocation....and then ends up murdering them. Anyhow! Once the golems were disposed of....it was time to battle the great Tolapumj!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "You?! You are still here? After my treasure?!" "No time fer talkin! Imma stabbin you!!" The battle raged on for ages!! Tolapumj was indeed the strongest creature in the entire lair! Using his great magic to control our minds and turn us against each other!! But...even with all of that...we ....we were winning!! As I was about to land the killing blow, he turned and grinned at me as he touched his head....POOF he vanished! Then....one by one...as if in a horror movie....the team began to vanish too.... "Protect Lakos! He can bring us back!!" I had already begun to slip away....only seconds away from sure safety....when I realized there were only a couple people still alive..... I knew....I knew what I had to do. I stood up and shouted out! "Tolapumj!! I'm right here!! It's me you want!!!" Moments later I was teleported before him. "Indeed it is!" he growled ....I stood no chance against the full force of his mighty blow....I was defeated! But I had bought Lakos the dwarf valuable time!! And he managed to escape!!! Soon Lakos did his work and we were all revived. My sacrifice was worth it!! But we had a problem. We were only barely getting to Tolapumj before a new patrol of golems arrived....we needed a little more power! Luckily I had heard of another adventuring party not too far away. Further than most could go....but a sneak master could still reach us. I sent word to them we were looking for help. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Eventually Kayyte Hayyte the great showed up! A sneak master like myself! We were almost ready to try to battle Tolapumj again. It would be our last attempt. No matter what happened, we had to stop him from doing whatever he had done before! But we knew what to look out for now.... Then, as we were preparing our final assault....a single golem appeared from the shadows and rushed straight at me! The others on the team had already gone ahead. I had to think fast....knowing that if it caught me, I would be doomed.....so , doing what any gnome would do in such a situation....I ran!! Using advanced gnome running techniques, of course. The others soon realized I was in great danger and came to my aid....defeating the assassin. It was close....too close.... Finally, it was time to face Tolapumj again! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "You failed once already! You will fail again!" he said as he charged at us. But Kayyte was pretty good with her daggers, and Tolapumj found himself overwhelmed. Then...he began to reach for his head again... "Not this time!!!" Airborn shouted, as we all rushed push him off balance. Moments later....we had done it.....the great Tolapumj was defeated.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "Now....what were you guarding so carefully?".... As I searched the body...I slowly came to the realization that he had no treasure at all!!! No gems! No weapons!! Nothing but a dirty old cloth hat! "I guess you can have the hat gnome, it is worthless". The others turned and began packing up. All of this....for a cloth hat.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I don't know....but I had a feeling there was something we were missing.... | ||

I was sittin around in Thurgadin mindin my own business when a fancy pants dark elf came in.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This dark elf looked pretty rich!!! Maybe even too rich! It is a common known fact that people who are too rich find themselves unable to move so well because of all the treasure they keep....it is a great burden!! I knew I had to help him!! So, I did what any kind hearted gnome would do....I reached in his pockets sneakily and tried to help! "So you think you can steal from me gnome?" he said....turning to me and wiggling his fingers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Suddenly I shrank!!! I was gnome squared!! This wasn't just a rich dark elf....it was a MAGIC rich dark elf!!!! "Well, I think you have bigger problems now" he laughed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Then, just as suddenly as I had shrunk....I wasn't in Thurgadin anymore...but an inn in the commons!! Little did the dark elf know that I knew the cure for all sorts of things....sleep!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But after my nap I was still tiny..... It looked like this was more serious then I thought...not even a nap could fix it.... If not that, then maybe the tunnel! There had to be an adventurer who knew how to fix this!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It took days of walking through the commonlands until I saw the familiar place in the distance.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But I was too small!! Most adventurers there didn't even notice me! Even this iksar....just stared right past me... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As I walked around more looking for help, I saw ....something I'll never forget..... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The horror!! A dead gnome just laying around?! It seemed the tunnel wasn't going to solve my problems. And, plus, it was obviously too dangerous for gnomes!! But I had another backup plan....I would go find a druid....I had to get back to Thurgadin and find the magic elf. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
