An Inconvenient Gnome

[CartMid]

Two drow approaches the Tower of The Archmages. The one in front is wearing a poorly crafted leather armor cloak and hood, the other one wears a full plate and carry the symbol of house Mal'froon.

The one in leathers approaches one of the guards and speaks almost whispering:

"Deliver this to the Archmages. I believe this to be an urgent matter."

He looked around very quicly then turned and began his walk again...

In one of my recent patrols on the tunnels, I found this gnome wearing fine crafted black leathers and a hood. She asked me if I belonged to any of the houses in Sshamath that she could sell me for a great price.

I laughed at the statement just to see her disappearing in front of my eyes and knock me unconscious. I was chained and had my equipment taken from me and brought deep into the tunnels where I satayed prisioner for about one week. In a note she said I was to be kept slave until she could find a buyer that could pay a good price for me.

After the period mentioned before, strangely she released me and on a note she said I was free to make my way to the city. On the note she said she was sorry and left me 500 gold pieces to compensate what I had been through.

I took the gold and my equipment and kept to the shadows untill I reached Sshamath once more.

A few days after that, I was ready to go out on patrol with two other companions when for my lack of luck I encountered the very same gnome wandering in the streets of Sshamath.

For my surprise she was attacking some of the Imps that usually fly around the city and kept threatening me and my companions. Knowing what she was capable of, I told them to stay their blades and be patient. We tried to ignore her and were going to continue with the patrol when I discovered she had set a trap for us in the main exit of the city. Luckly I was able to dodge it and came out of it in one piece.

As much as I want to give her punishment with my own hands, I know it's beyond my reach for now and additionally, I believe this to be a matter to the laws of the city. I wait now for your better judgment on this.

P.S: In the notes she always signed as "Chloe".

*a similar report is made by the mage cel'lith morcane. It appears the gnome had knocked him unconscious and threatened him with slavery if he did not take her as his "friend" whatever that means. He even has her hand-written note to that effect. Afterwards she has been skulking around Sshamath threatening him from the shadows. This is a serious matter and should be dealt with by the city guards asap. Slavery of drow is against the laws of Sshamath and as is the attack on a citizen by a non-citizen such as this dirty svirfneblin. Cel'lith recommends a hunting party is organized and her description passed to the city guards*

Archmage Raenir Salazar was in his study located within a demiplane binded to the Academy of Mages. He had heard some disturbing reports. His apprenticed attacked! By a Deep Gnome no less threatening him with the injsutice of removing his status and ability to advance via enslavement! Intolerable.

"No one screws around with me!" He snarled into his Scrying Orb. "An attack on one of my apprentices is an attack upon me!" He immediately sent orderlies to prepare his food, for he would now spend considerable time scrying for this Gnome and make her pay.

It was going to be a long night.

\\ Deleted my posts, Though consider Chloe isnt going to RP anymore in the UD. It was my mistake because I was bored.. but it wouldn't be consequent with my background if we push this further.

My excuse.

[raenir]

If you hadn't had a history of randomly attacking people, people wouldn't assume you were rping it. Will you be playing Penalope all the time then as I recall Chloe cannot leave the Underdark.

///She can eventually and Meldor it would be wise you keep Chloe hidden.
