Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daztur" data-source="post: 5948222" data-attributes="member: 55680">The Sandalwood GroveHex 24.23Inspired by a blog post on chutup’s blog and a business English class role-play that took a strange turn.This land is some of the most fertile of the Devil’s Fingers. That isn’t saying much for this is a dry and desolate region, but a number of sandalwood trees grow here. They are highly valued by the local gnomes (23.23) for their nuts, the medicines that can be brewed from their wood, their twigs which the gnomes use to cook their famous hallucinogenic brew and, of course, to make sandals out of.Gnomes place great value in a good pair of sandals, carved out of proper sandalwood. In fact, it is a traditional display of generosity for a rich gnome to exchange sandals with a poor one, especially after they have enjoyed a string of good luck. Also, it is a traditional gnomish belief that any creature that hides its toes is hiding its true intensions. This is not as strange as it seems, for illusionists often have a terrible time getting the toes just right. When you see a gnome staring at your toes trying to puzzle our their shape, they may be a pointer. These gnomes are renowned for their skills at detecting illusions and often do this by checking the toes of any suspicious creature and by taking part in the traditional gnomish cheek-patting greeting. These pointers are often hired on by parties venturing into the towers and tombs of magicians and have proven their worth time and time again.However, all of this may also explain a lot of the distrust that gnomes have for those who hide their toes, have feet too big to exchange sandals with and who don’t like gnomes grabbing at their faces whenever they meet.Hooks:-Who have some famous gnomish pointers been?-Halflings don’t wear any shoes at all. What do gnomes feel about that? What about gnolls? Do they wear shoes?-Do all gnomes care about sandals or just these desert ones?</blockquote>
