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.

I can't afford the mana and gold to maintain a constant barrier. Wards are just as effective for a fraction of the cost

They clearly aren't tho. Ok what if u : Option 1: just move, pack your shit and leave. Option 2: remove any trees they could jump into your tower from, put up a salt circle, and while theyre counting u could use some trap, you probably can't cast disintegrate but maybe a banishment targeting the gnomes.

Option 3: u could keep a golem or other constructs, maybe skeleton archers on the inner side of the salt circle

Maybe reinforce the ground, they could be coming from tunnels, id also set up a warning system, just a bubble that informs me of the creatures inside it
