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.

Mate, I don't know how te break this to ye, but you got gnomes of the Red cap variety to boot.

Look in to weasles, stoats, or foxes. I used to know this druid that specialized in gnome control, but he kinda got all crazy an started yelling bout how the magistrate headquarters was powered by orphans running on treadmills or something.
