A high-pitched voice interjects, "I might be able to help you... unless I get eaten first." The voice belongs to a long-nosed gnome merchant who was moments from being put into the orc cooking pot.
"Who are you?" you ask.
The gnome replies, "My name is <span class="mu-b">Shekelstein Gnomeberg</span>! A merchant by trade, but I've dabbled in both orc law and birdfolk law. I can share my wisdom with you, if you stop them from eating me!"
"Shut up, merchant!" one of the orc cooks snarls, trying to push the gnome into the pot, but you intervene and save him.
"Tell me, how do I handle this?" you ask the gnome.
"The answer is simple: you must race-mix! By combining your superior human ingenuity with orcish brute strength, you can add diversity to the gene pool, creating a more tolerant, docile, and easier-to-control hybrid race," Gnomeberg explains.
"Is... is that a good thing?" you ask, confused.
"Well, it's good for us," Gnomeberg replies with a smirk, quickly correcting himself, "I mean, it's good for everyone!"
