Well, helping to fight elemental kings was pretty fun....but I had to get back to velious to get rich!! I hadn't stolen the giants and dragons treasure yet!
So, first step was trying to find a teleport back there....as I was lookin around, I saw two people, a druid and a barbarian....who said they were going to wakening lands!

I told them I wanted to come too....but they laughed at me and teleported away....
It was pretty rude! They coulda just taken me too! So I send some magic messages after them "Pfft! I wanted to go too! Come back!!"
The druid replied that she was coming back to teleport me....it seemed like the problem was solved!
When she got back she began talking about keys and things. Which was fine, I am pretty good with locks. I even showed her my lockpicks!
But she wasn't impressed at all....and then, like the other druid...began sayin she was taking me home to steamfont!

No! She was like the other one! She didn't realize I was adventuring!! Or how rich I was going to get after stealing the giants and dragons treasure!!
Before I could protest more, she used her magic and poof we appeared back in steamfont!
No no no no....that isn't where I want to go!
After some protesting she sighed and began using her teleporting magic again.....
But this time we appeared in misty thicket!!!

Uhm....closer....I guess....but still not right!!!
She kept talking about keys and things, and I kept telling her I was great with locks! Nothing to worry about!!
After a lot more protesting her friends chimed in and voted in my favor....it was 3 against one! She couldn't keep resisting under all this pressure!!
Finally she teleported one more time ....
And , at long last, we appeared in Wakening Lands! She seemed pretty shocked! I don't know why, I never even saw any locks!
Anyhow, it was time to begin my "super awesome gnome plan to get rich" strategy. I would join other adventurers fighting the giants....but I would be more focused on taking their treasure! It was foolproof!
I snuck down to the entrance of the giant city and sure enough I found adventurers there. Casually I tried to blend in and began doing adventurer stuff....eating muffins....poking things with my dagger....the usual.
They were all obviously impressed because without a word I was invited to their team!! They surely recognized how great an adventurer I was!!!

And so...it began....
Time passed and I began picking the giants pockets. A few gold here, a few gold there.....it was ok I guess.
Though, oddly, I found lots of meat in their pockets?!

But after a few hours....somehow....one of the group started to catch onto me!!!!!

The best course of action was to play it cool.....
"What?! No! I'm an adventurer like you fellow adventurer!!! Look out! Giants! Sorry can't talk! Gotta fight!!"
Whew, that was a close one. But nothing gnome smarts can't handle.
More time passed....and then it happened!!!....as I sneakily reached into another giants pockets....my hand felt something shiny....it definitely wasn't meat, I had found plenty of that to recognize the squish.
When I pulled it out....I had in my hand....an expensive emerald!!!!!!!
I was rich!!!!!

Before anyone caught on to what I had uhm...found....I ran away into the forest!!! I had gotten the giants treasure!! Next it was time to visit the dragons!!!

It took a long time to reach the dragons city though.....I snuck so slowly through the forest.....but eventually I made it and found the dragons liked me a lot. Obviously they had heard about my adventuring!!!!!!
After talking to some ice merchants and selling them my extra valuable gem.... I sat down to count my growing treasure account.....-nods nods- this plan was working pretty well. I was many times richer than I had been before!!!
I knew I would reach a million platinum in no time!!
