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.] | ||

The druids agreed to help me....and eventually, after many more days of walking through the great divide from the teleporting rings, I made it back to Thurgadin.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But no matter where I searched, I couldn't find the magic dark elf!!! As I sat in despair....I heard the sound of tiny footsteps behind me. It was a skeleton!!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "Is this an ambush?! YOU WANA FITE ME?!" "What? No! I saw you looking for the dark elf....I thought I was the only one, the only one he had shrunken...." "He did this to you too?!" "Many years ago.....when I was....still alive...." "Oh, sorry you are a skeleton now. Don't feel bad, I'm part skeleton too you know!" ".....anyhow, I think I've discovered at long last how to reverse this curse. We need some of the dwarven ale! If it can grow hair on a dwarves face, surely it can grow us too!" "Yea, that makes sense. You are a smart skeleton!" And with that....we both headed to the nearest bar! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "I'll have your finest dwarf ale please!" "That'll be 2 gold pieces" I pulled out my moneys (from my secret money purse, of course)....but the dwarf refused to take it! Apparently all my treasure had been shrunk along with me....my gold coins were nothing but gold dust now! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "We...were so close....what will we do now?" "STAND BACK MR SKELETON! I GOTS AN IDEA!" My money might have been shrunk....but maybe we could earn the ale! With entertainment! I rummaged around in my pack and grabbed a few things I always keep on me....then tinkered it together as fast as I could. "Time for....tiny fireworks!!!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As I had done at the halflings city before, I put on the best show in thurgadin!! Fireworks everywhere! The dwarves were so impressed they gave us a stein of ale. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "You did it Sneaksy! Now we can be whole again!!" "No! WE did it mr skeleton!!" We climbed up on the brim of the ale....ready to take a drink and surely break this curse... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But....as the skeleton went to drink.....it only dribbled out over his ribcage. It seems no matter how much he wanted to drink it, he just didn't have the stomach for it!! "Sneaksy....you must drink without me.....it is....too late for me...." "No!!! I can't leave you mr skeleton!!! We have to do this together!" "It is impossible for me....go, become big again....live your gnome life, find treasure....for us both!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] "I'll never forget you mr skeleton!" I said, looking down into the stein of ale.... "And I you Sneaksy!" With that, I drank the ale and grew back to my normal size. When I turned around though, I couldn't see the skeleton any longer .... for he was too small. The tiny skeleton still walks the halls of Thurgadin, forever cursed. Some say they have seen him! Though only for a moment as he is too tiny to keep track of. I'll find a cure for him one day though!! One day!!! | ||

I was sittin around in commons like I tend to do when lookin for adventure....when, I ran into another magic dark elf!
He musta been a friend of the other one, because, out of the blue...he shrank me too! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But, thankfully, it didn't seem he was as powerful, and I was quite a bit bigger than I was before. I knew this day might come again....but this time I had a plan! Quickly I ran around and gathered old hammers to build a gnome fort for protection. It was foolproof! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] There I drank some extra dwarf ale I had and regained my size. The same trick won't work on a gnome twice!!! But....in the meantime....it seemed the world had a bigger problem.....the dark elf had cursed one of the adventurers and turned him into a tiny treant!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not only that! But this treant was under the dark elves control! And began to rampage with his great power!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Herpa the iksar tried to fight him.....but was defeated after a long and hard fought battle...even my gnome science medicine wasn't enough to keep him alive. Others too tried to battle....but no one could stop this great treant and its songs of doom. Luckily I had connections with the elves and sent word to them that the world was in great danger! One of their own had been cursed! And needed to be stopped! We distracted the treant for a while.....and then, when everything looked most grim.... Rosen the archer appeared! Ready to do battle!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Her arrows were so mighty! The treant and everyone around was shocked by the power of archery!! But the dark elf saw her power and stepped in...banishing her to another part of the world! It looked like all hope was lost. Then....Borusk the mighty stepped forward and said he would battle the tree! No one had much confidence in him...but it was all we had left.... I mean, besides me of course. I woulda killed that tree already, except I had something in my eye -rubs eye- Borusk and the tree stared at each other for only a moment, and then ran at each other!! Borusk gave him a few pokes with his daggers, and it seemed to do pretty ok. Though he would need a lot more than that against such thick bark. Suddenly he sprang forward and slipped behind the treant!!! Followed by the greatest stab I've ever seen!!!! The treant instantly fell!!! It was over!!! So fast!!!!! After that the dark elf admitted defeat and Dabbles was returned to his normal elfy form. That night the world knew him as Dabbles the Tree but, sadly, it wasn't to last. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Having won the battle, it was time for celebrating! So we all snuck around the tunnels for a little bit! The best way to celebrate! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Soon everyone had moved on to various adventures....but I was still left ....sneakins around. "Psst, gnome, you are Sneaksy aren't you? I've heard of you..." It was another dark elf! At least this one didn't shrink me ....yet.... "Midnight...come alone." she whispered, then walked off into the crowd. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Humm, seemed suspicious....but I didn't have a choice! I had to find out what she wanted!! So I waited....doing my usual gnome stuffs helpin merchants find things they lost. I even picked up a new fancy runed oak bow!!! ................... ................... Midnight eventually came....and I continued to wait, looking for the dark elf I had seen before. Though, they all look alike to me. The merchants were packing up their shops and the caves began to empty. 1 am....2am....3am....I was starting to think the dark elf was trickins me!! Then a shady lookin old human came walking into the caves. He kept his head down, but I could tell something was strange with him....he wasn't an adventurer, that's for sure. No, he was a brigand!! He continued walking till he had come up right next to me....still, not even looking up.... "I've been keeping it sharp all these years" he said as he handed me a small object wrapped in rags. I looked down confused...but before I could ask any questions he walked away again into the night.... Carefully I unwrapped what he had given me....and inside was a dagger? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It looked like a pretty fancy dagger! Probably worth lots of platinums!!! But somehow I felt there was more to this.....I wonder where it came from..... | ||
