A Drunken Gnome was slowly awakened by the incessant echoing voice from the other side of The Shattered Skull.

"Ah Mi Sa Ko..." it echoed, over and over again.

His head was aching. Usually he could avoid this condition by staying drunk, but he had overslept his appointed time to check with the local smithy and tailor shops. He wanted to go and see if either had any odd jobs that would be worth his time, but his aching head!

He approached the elf, apparently called by the name "Ruin" to ask if perhaps she could stop that damn fool noise, or at least quit yelling it into the barrel! That echo was killing him. She was rude though, and would not respond to his request for mercy. Wouldn't even spare a glance in his general direction!

The Gnome had no choice but to attempt to summon one of the enforcers. Within a few minutes, GM Milo appeared in his shiny red robe and attempted to communicate with Ruin. She was rude to him as well, not a very smart thing to be.

Milo greeted me, and said that he was leaving, and taking Ruin with him! In a flash, they were gone, and the Gnome found his way out of the tavern and to the smithy, where he was able to secure a small order that garnered him a full jar of magical powder that would increase the life of the fine weapons he crafted!

Hurray to GM Milo for making a 'rude' person disappear!
