Gnomish conspirators?You lean down to pet the rat, no mind paid toward potential diseases or parasites as you run a hand over his head. You can’t speak to rats (animalian communication is a niche field in the magical curriculum, by and large thanks to its lack of economic viability) but it seems quite content about this development.
“Don’t pet Algernon. He hates being pet.” Bredbeddle snaps at you. You pull back from the happy rat.
“So..” You decide to strike up conversation with your tour guide, who has fallen fidgety and curiously quiet since that wizard’s attack. “Have you got anywhere to go after you lead us out? Any family, or friends? Or maybe gnomish allies?”
“Not all gnomes know each other.” The cutpurse rolls her eyes at your ignorance. “And.. I have the Thousand Cut Family. I’m a valuable source of information to them. Just ‘cause one of them is tryin’ to kill me doesn’t mean I can’t still work something out. They’re a big group.”
