[QUOTE="psychognome, post: 1283352, member: 828"] I just got a weird idea for an evil gnome... Once upon a time there was a young gnome bard with a knack for light-hearted comedy and pranks. He traveled the world with a group of adventurers on a somber quest, always doing his best to lighten up the tense mood. His life as an adventurer was looking good... until his group was captured and tortured to death by a vile evil wizard. The said wizard was rather amused by the gnome, and let him live. He dressed the gnome up in a jester's outfit, and kept him around just for his amusement. He even cursed the gnome's outfit so that it would dispel his magical abilities and made the gnome unable to remove it. But what the wizard forgot was that the gnome could still use spells from magic items, and one time when the wizard was unaware of the gnome sneaking around, the gnome grabbed a scroll of [I]feeblemind[/I] from the wizard's desk, and cast it on the unsuspecting wizard. Immediately the wizard's mental capacities were completely dulled, and the gnome used a bunch of the wizard's scrolls to remove the jester's outfit, and force the wizard into wearing it. Seeing the slow and painful death of his friends at the wizard's mercy and having endured months of servitude, the gnome had been completely changed from the merry, happy-go-lucky person he'd used to be. He now lives in the wizard's castle, with the wizards under his control and kept around for the entertainment value. He is happy to welcome aspiring adventurers into his humble abode, which is equipped with illusion- and sound-based traps. And if they were to survive the traps, he would gladly reward them with a fate akin to that of the wizard's. How's that for an NPC? :) [/QUOTE]
