Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 7531661" data-attributes="member: 158">I can actually imagine MORE horror if one gnome had survived, via due to a ritual, or a magical stasis (or literally the Imprisonment or Temporal Stasis spells), to come out of stasis in Athas to find that they are literally the last of their kind. Like the Rip van Winkle/Captain America/Connecticut Yankee trope, they are haunted by memories of verdant oases, small and poisoned but still existent streams, small gatherings of their people playing and having fun, and every bit of it is gone and every reference point they ever knew gone, depending on the kindness of the strangers (PCs) they find themselves with.Then imagine Nibenay finding out that a gnome still LIVES? (maybe after about 6th or 7th level or so, when the PC has sufficient skills to protect themselves and successfully run or hide) Imagine the hunter's desire after finding out that you didn't, indeed, catch every Pokemon? And imagine the role play possibilities in dealing with that, and finding what you could offer the Sorcerer-king to stay his hand, or seeking the resources to thwart the Sorcerer-king for good, if your campaign goes that way?</blockquote>
