Today was the day I set out to look for adventure!
I was ready!
My plan was to find giants and dragons and pick their pockets to get treasure! Then, I would be rich!
I had heard rumors of giants and dragons from adventurers...that they lived in the ice lands of Velious!
So, that was where I was going to go!
It didn't take too long till I found a druid that could teleport and told him where I wanted to go....but when he teleported us....before I realized what had happened, he had teleported me back home to Steamfont Mountains again!!!!!! I'd been gnome-napped!
"I'm not taking you to die. You are safer here. This is for your own good."
"No! I'm going on an adventure! You don't understand!!"
But he wouldn't listen!
As I argued with him to take me back, another druid appeared.
"Help! This druid kidnapped me with his magic!! I'm supposed to go to velious!!".
The other druid seemed a little confused.... also telling me it was dangerous. Apparently they both didn't realize my armor was studded....and didn't see the extra dangerous dagger I had....
But after a little convincing, the other druid agreed to take me where the first druid refused!

Before we left I went and bought a parrying dagger just in case, and some throwing knives..... I had to be prepared.
Then, in a puff of magic, we were gone....and soon in the icy lands of Velious!

I'd gotten some maps to the giant city, so had a good idea which way to go for adventure. As I was running though, I noticed the rabbits seemed like good hunting....but figured I would leave them alone, since everything else around them seemed like trouble.
Eventually I made it to the giant city...just as the moon was setting.

The problem was, once I got to the giant city...there was no one else around! Everyone was sleeping I guess....just an ogre...and a warrior....
I picked a few giants pockets, and helped the warrior fight some giants.... but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. If I was going to pick lots of monsters pockets and get rich, I needed distractions!
As the couple of us were sitting around at the entrance of the giant city...suddenly they started talking about needing to leave to kill something big. A dragon?!
I wasn't going to let them go without me!
It didn't take too much convincing even, and they invited me to join them!
This was a little easier than I thought....but I wasn't gonna question it.....then before long...a druid showed up and teleported us all away.

Eventually we came to a giant pit in some city....and the druid told us to jump. The warrior didn't seem so sure about it....and I was fairly sure this was a trap.

But the warrior was too scared to jump first....I knew if we were going to make it, I had to lead!! Gnomes are braver than barbarians you know! So I jumped in!!
But, I was right, it was a trap!! And within moments I woke up as a ghost in the giants city! But then moments later I was awakened back to my body!! Things were getting crazy!!
There were lots of other adventurers there too. I guess this was all part of their plan....

As they looked me over a little bit, somehow they started to realize I hadn't fought a dragon before!!!! I'm not sure how, my studded armor and dagger was as good as any adventurer had!

But it was too late now....we had a dragon to kill!!!!

Sadly, when I looked around the corner, it wasn't a dragon at all....just....a giant rock elemental! I'm not sure if that is more dangerous than a dragon....I doubt it though.

Still, we had a job to do!!
As I snuck around the group making sure there was no ambushes coming....they started to realize just how sneaksy I was....
"Sneaksy....we.....we need you to pull the elemental! This is only a job you can do!!!!"
"What...me? I....ok!!! I can do it!!!!! I'm ready!!!!!!"
I had to do my gnomish duty! Apparently the elemental had great magic and the first person he saw would be forced to endure his power!!! Everyone recognized that I was the only one there that had any chance of resisting it!!!!! -nods nods-
And so....I snuck into position....and when they gave me the signal...I sprung into action and started shouting at the elemental!
"Hay mud face! I'm over here! You don't have the pebbles to attack me!"
The elemental stared at me for a moment....and then I could see rage in its eyes as it rushed forward. Uhm....maybe I had overdone it a little bit.....
I turned around and jumped into the pond behind me! Moments of silence....and then the last thing I remember was hearing it start to cast a spell.....
Then, I woke up in the giants city as a ghost again!!! But I knew a mighty battle was happening, and I had played a pivotal role in it!
A few moments later I was revived to my body again....a complete gnome!
We had won!!! Defeated the elemental!!
After that, we all escaped the pit and before I knew it I was back in the common lands....

Though...I never got a chance to pick its pockets.....in fact, I didn't make any money at all!!!
Pfft, it was a good adventure, but how was I going to make a million platinum like this?!
