    The trick is to cook them until they pop right out of their shells.

    Gnome Alone. Look out for flying cans of paint… cause that would actually kill you in real life.

        On the one hand I’d say he was just a kid that didn’t know any better, but then again he built a house filled with elaborate death traps in an hour which no one his age should be capable of doing.

    Safe to say the SC indeed is Ardaic.

      Yeah, this is complete confirmation. I have a feeling that the amulet was passed to another for that major battle because Ardaic was too important to be on the field at that time. He casts suspicion away from himself when necessary, but he’s definitely the main Silver Centurion. He has the personality for it, as well.

    And this is why going after folks on their home ground is an awful awful plan. They expected it. You get to live it. Next, everyone dies in some kind of fire!

    I see there are plenty who are already spOILing this with puns. I like it. :/

    But, I think, this is not the trip these soldiers expected to take. This is pretty low down of the gnomes. But then they aren’t enamored with these giant soldier coming at them enarmoured, after all.

    Not a pun, but it is nice of Ardaic to wear that helmet with the brush down there. Sweeping the ceiling as he comes down to enslave a whole race is the least he can do.

        Cross cultural exchange kind of thing. They DO have reason to open peace talks, after all

      All burned, except his stache. And from this glorious stache, the entire Ardaic regrew.

      Not to brag, but I was so effective with Entanglement- in my first session of 3.5e- that “entanglement” became a meme in our group for years later, in various other systems.
      The spell was also banned ):

      At one point around level 10-ish my DnD 3.5 fighter/rogue got his hands on a Wand of Grease. It ended up killing more enemies than the wizard and full fighter combined. Fun fact: You can cast it on things like siege ladders. Or cliffs that your enemy might be scaling. Or, for maximum comedy, the weapon your opponent is trying to swing at you…

    It’s almost like it’s a bad idea to make enemies of the people who have literally undermined your capital.

    If the attack is going well, you are walking into a trap.

      Even if the attack isn’t going well you still could be walking into a trap.

      No kidding, however his doo-ty was to follow orders. He no longer is the Silver Centurion in his mind. If only that would make his own form of glowwey-hammer-shit ineffective as well.

    You know, maybe thinking about Syr’Nj right now is not the best idea? Kept you from wondering why there’s only two entrances that can be opened “in a reasonable time.” I suspect those are no longer open, btw.
