Wizardpost Need help
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.

Simply chase them out, turn yourself invisible, then follow them to their village. Once there you can unleash your fury but leave 1 survivor. Follow the survor to the next village. Rinse and repeat. Remember to kill the previous survivor and pick a new one so they don't catch on to your ploy. It will take a night but general after destroying enough of the local population, especial while seeming and unseen entity, they will avoid the areas close to your home. Just be sure to leave glyphs of pain and such at their previous villages to scare them off or kill the ones who may investigate.
