Top 10 Gnomish Survival Tips

[LaughingOtter]

10) Hide in patches of flax - you can stand on tippy-toe & still be completely concealed.

9) Find a plot with a finished house on it and stand under a shrubbery in a decorative pose.

8) Put on a party hat & hope the Avatar of Pain thinks you're his new shoulder cow.

7) Jump on a furious gruok and entertain the troops with your mad Mutton Bustin' skills.

6) Make a long, furry tail out of blighted kenaf drops, then run around chittering and shaking your fist at passing adventurers.

5) Deluxe slate cargo disks make an excellent studio apartment or loft, and are an affordable alternative to traditional refugee camp living.

4) Make a dress out of some really ugly curtains and run around singing excerpts from "The Sound of Music". Even the WA will avoid you.

3) Hide inside one of the pies Sly Loki keeps sending to Mary the door guard at the Healer's Tower.

2) Hop inside a Tarbash's Bag, stuff it with unspun flax, and tell people you're really an enraged pale wisp.

And finally:

1) Port to New Brommel & break out the boat drinks. Since it's unused right now, there's no place better to relax and work on your tan.

Last time I checked, gruoks were not sheep .. but a good laugh

And what do you do after it finds out you're not? XD

These made me smile. Thanks for posting.

Some things that I've found useful to know...
Hoard is useful for distracting big teeth aimed at you.
Always carry rope, a sharpened dragon toothpick and deluxe tooth extractors in case you get caught behind those big teeth.
Ogre snot keeps jaws sealed shut and large appendages stuck in place for a goodly while.
Observe warnings painted on dragon bellies and flanks.
If you feed them something they like on a regular basis, they are less likely to eat you; some even get protective of you.
Giant chicken feathers will indeed tickle most creatures.
If someone wants something to eat, it's polite to use their kitchen to prepare it, that way you can serve it to them fresher after cooking.
Cast the heals on your party members, not on the nasties, no matter which health bar reads lowest.
Running fast avoids a lot of mishaps.
You can generally tinker something out of the stuff at hand for any situation.

True, that. *Munches on her chocolate mouse.* (Thanks Awdz!)


My survival advice? Be a dragon. (Tip top of the food chain, hehe.)
