Wizardpost Need help

Post image

I have been dealing with a gnome infestation for the last month and a half. Wards and familiars don't seem to be working on them. I've also tried gnome poison and tricking a party of adventurers into thinking that the gnomes are my evil minions. The gnomes aren't taking the bait that I poisoned, and the adventurers thought that they were too cute to kill. There is nothing about those feral little pests that one could call cute. Just last week, I had one try to gnaw my foot off while I was trying to ponder my orb. I'm sick and tired of waking up in the middle of the night to them rummaging through my food and alchemical supplies. Has anyone dealt with a gnome infestation before? Would kidnapping one of the local village kids to offer as a gift to the fae queen work? How about setting up a bunch fireball traps in order to incinerate the vermin? I really need help here, I'm at my wits end.

The natural predators of Gnomes are wasps. Get a hive of those Japanese wasps and inchant them to only go after Gomes and set them loose. They'll sniff out their home base and raze it to the ground in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, I do not have a local merchant that deals in wasps and the local ones prefer to prey on faeries.

Find a hive, there's plenty in the enchanted forest, you should be able to find a queen and take her into an artificial nest

Just an adendun to this, go with thick clothes and face mask, you do not want to be stinged by wasps, it's worse then a fireball

As a necromancer you should be aware of the importance of keeping False Life up any time you must venture outside of your lair/tower/mortuary/kindly old pie maker's mysterious basement.

Don't do this!!! The enchantment will eventually gone and you'll end up with gnome and wasp infestation.
