Not sure how he came to be there, as he's clearly not of Eladrin make, but he's a wondrous artifact nonetheless, don't you agree? Might be nice if I could adjust his volume though. Never could manage it when he's on the march, but maybe during one of his periods of inactivity..." Fizzenden trails off and is silent for a moment, then continues, "Now, where was I? Ah, yes. The only problem is that sir knight has an excess of energy. That's part of the reason I sent him off to find that Dauntonian survey party: just to get him out of my hair. I can hardly finish a single experiment with him booming and clanging about all day long, and threatening to attack poor Hyrellon's woodland creatures."Noting the protective manner in which Sir Exsixten interposes himself between the party and the assembled gnomes, Fizzenden adds, "But you see, sir knight has always had a bit of a stubborn streak, and it seems that not only has he taken a shine to you lot, but he must have wiped his memory sectors again, for he doesn't recognize me anymore. It looks like your stuck with him. You may take him with you with my blessings," the gnome proclaims, a touch of irony lighting his eyes."Hmm... yes," muses Fizzenden, considering Cyr's request, "As for information, well you said your deity sent you here seeking some kind of trouble, yes? Well we have plenty of that and more. It's Snarl's people, or at least I think it is. We've had dark-cloaked figures sneaking about here at night, causing all sorts of trouble, breaking windows, stealing things, scaring away our animals, and today we found one of Farvyn's bush turkeys all mutilated at the bottom of our well!," he says indicating the gnome in the coveralls, "Took us all day running the pump just to flush it out. They're still angry with us over the whole debacle with last year's Green Man ritual, I'll wager. Trying to get back at me through..." Fizzenden breaks off explaining his worries to Cyr in order to listen to Hyrellon's reply to Ferris."What's this about a missing artifact my son? Surely you don't mean one of their great totems? If so, this is grave news indeed. Fizzenden?," asks the cleric turning to the gnome leader, "I know there has been bad blood between all of our peoples of late, but surely even Snarl's people wouldn't resort to such vile mischief, would they?""I don't know, my friend," says Fizzenden shaking his head in astonishment in confusion, "Perhaps we should start at the beginning adventurers. Please come in."He leads you into the main room of the large conical house, which seems to be a combination study-and-living-area. the perimeter is lined with tall bookshelves. Two large tables line one wall, one covered in a messy assortment of papers, beakers, powders, quills, and small bits of metal, the other supporting a single, large map of the island. Fizzenden directs you to the other side of the room though, which is covered in a rug, ringed with large, cushy canvas bags that seem to be filled with some kind of bean or seed. He and the other gnomes each pull up one of the bean bags and sit down, squishing deep into them. He motions you to take a seat as well."Can I get you anything? Some rootbush tea perhaps? I was just brewing a pot, before we saw you approaching and decided to hide. Can't be too careful these days. Now, tell me about this object you've been asked to find, and how you came to be on the Living Isle in the first place."</blockquote>
