This is... Interesting.
I have never heard of these before, but one of the races of my world is uncanningly similar to these Pech (I thought them up probably 10 years ago, with a very different name, though).
They can commune with the spirits of the earth, allowing them to move through earth (which I translated into them having a Burrow speed), help shape it, etc... They even have the thin, long limbs.
The only difference is, I guess, that my 'Pech' are not confined to earth manipulation. They can commune with water, air and fire as well (and other non-organic spirits), but in my mind they were always more in tune with the earth spirits.
I don't even think I ever read about the actual Pech (I looked it up just now), which are gnome-like people from Scottish myth. Similar to Picts, I suppose.
I guess it's not so very original that it should be all that surprising, but it was just rather strange to see how exact the resemblance is
As far as their actual stats go.. Mine have nimble fingers and are intelligent - they are the artificers in my world. They are also wise and spiritual.
So, something with Dex, Int, and/or Wis.
They have a Burrow speed to travel through the earth, and they have a spell-like ability to shape stone.
How this translates into the Pech of the adventure is up to you, I guess
