I've had this problem ever since I was a wee gnome. Whenever it gets dark everyone starts to glow red. Scares a young gome something awful, I can tell you. - Jan Jannsen of BG2.
Oh, it's okay. The gnomes weren't too important, they were just there. The PCs were looking for something that was in gnome country, so hey. Gnomes. Farming their mushrooms, singing their songs, all that razzamatazz. No caps, though, saddened the masses.
