Fool's Grove: The Gnome's Back (With Friends)

[Fallen Seraph]

Well with April Fools Day here Wizard has gifted us with a Dungeon Delve with our beloved 4e mascot the Gnome and Francis. But it is not just them who return, a whole cast of D&D creatures are seen:

• Al-mi'rij
• Brain Mole
• Campestri
• Carbunkle
• Enveloper
• Flail Snail
• Flumph
• Kercpa
• Stench Kow
• Umpleby

This is so awesome! Stale Trail Flail Snails?! I like that the monsters, while hilarious, are also pretty functional.

Thanks WotC!

This is unbelievably good. I've found WotC's past attempts at April Fools humor pretty hit-and-miss (mostly miss), but this...

a) ...is genuinely funny (the "flail snail fail" ability nearly killed me).

b) ...is a great tribute to... uhhh... "classic"... monsters.

c) ...offers probably the only real 4e stats for flumphs that we're ever going to see.

Fantastic job from the authors - I love it.

Stale Trail Flail Snails?!

I about fell out of my chair when I read that.

I have stats for Francis. Whee!

Yeah awesome fun (I agree DnD mag humour usually awful IMO see the witchalok!) but the gnome I love - 'I'm a monster rawr' is my mobile phone text alert

I'm especially fond of Francis the Badger Minion's abilities, especially "Badger Badger Badger"

Gaaahhh! I thought it was going to be a new gnome cartoon! How disapointing. I'm very put out.
