Zillswen

Zillswen to the Southern coastline of Genx, Malnax. (The Hamlet of Elawyn is close by.) A Gnome Village that has a path up the back area to the workshop area, with a  "Air Flyer" (Zip line) to travel down to the Village.   VILLAGE OF ZILLSWEN (Gnome) As you reach the sign of Zillswen, the first building is an old rundown. The door hangs off it’s hinges. Two top panels look as if taken off by an axe. The wood is stained dark from darkness. The village is small and clean. About 8 houses on the main street. The place looks as if constantly repaired or updated, whether it needs it or not. The gnomes wave or smile as you pass, but none stop to question you. Everyone here seems to already know each of your names. You hear whispers of your names from gnome to gnome “.... is here. Look there is ....” IF LOOK UP – the street-lights look different and the waterwheel in town appears to be cog-driven, not just water driven.   Ale Foundation (Ale House) You pass the Ale House called the “Ale Foundation” ... the place gas gas fittings and is furnished beyond stand. The tavern owner Hugburg greets you warmly and offers you a pint.   You learn that the inventors and experimentalist are above the village – as the noise is too much at all times of day and night. A job to collect a prototype of an inventions offered by Dorr (Dorislac Nodderway) wants taken to the city.   You meet a gnome Gemzag (cleaning windows) who directs you up the large hill to speak to Jammila Sod.   The walk up the hill is higher than you expected. The “secret” steps come from behind the town hall and wind up, cut into the hill and paved with slabs of flat stone. 1535 steps. Find a gnome shaped tunnel in the hill side ... inside are dozens of glow-worms. 30 feet long. Have to crawl through on hands and knees ... small but not tight. The path winds up and up another 162 steps. At top, there are laboratories and workshops. It is noisy and busy after the quiet path.   The gnome brothers, adults, Pud and Milton argue over who gets to... you are not sure what. Someone might try to help solve/find out trouble. “father always said.” says Milton They do Rock, Paper, Clock Pud wins with ‘clock ripping paper’. Milton looks sulky, but soon is fine. Pud takes you to the “Air Flyer” - a wire holding a basket that flies down to the village.   In village offer you a bathe in heated tubs of water – you are told they are designed of the natural hot pools found within Kilt region. Wilbur the Wanderer took the gnome inventor Shelwos Zeeb there.   In late night, after dinner, there is alarms and panic. Reports of fire up at the labs spreads through the village. Mounts used to race up hill – have to get off to go through tunnel. Mounts crawl through the tunnel too. * go up too * split up, some go up * stay in village   Pud finds Milton hurt – stabs in the side. 10 kobolds are causing havoc. Someone is already halfway down the zip line. Gnomes are putting out the fire. * follow in basket * fight kobalds * ride a mount * shoot * waiting at bottom * don’t help   Person drops out of basket, just before it gets to the messenger station (village) DM roll landing – hurt?   A child comes running, can’t find mother ... Dorr’s son Brick. Work-shed not on fire. Dorr’s work shed has been trashed and the prototype has been stolen. Dorr is knocked out – underneath shelving. Tech has been stolen. It is hard for you to understand what it was ... the gnomes call it a Meter of Challenge zone radius stopper.   Gnomes think it is the cult who enslave kobolds – cult dislikes inventions. Dorr is sure it is someone wanting the invention for their own purposes. She seems to not want to mention names... scared. Dorr’s sister works as a cook, in the Manor of Lord Sylvester – rumoured to due to marry the Princess Craclona – nasty, mean-temptered, stubborn and the rightful heir (royal highness). The Princess is not pleased by the match, but oddly is not arguing it. Rumours say Lord Sylvester “rescued” the Princess from a Dire Bear. Gunther Treadmoor name comes up by Brick, and then is squished by Dorr. The relationship between Gunther and the groom-to-be is unknown – never have meet. Rumoured to follow same Deity.
