Rino looked at the young earth gnome in his captivity. Honestly, he felt a little sorry for what he did. However, he was really curious about the gnomes hiding in his soon to be abandoned mine. Maybe they could tell him a little more about the dwarves he looked forward to finding at some point in his kingdom building project.
The young earth gnome was still snoozing away peacefully under the influence of a very strong sleeping spell. Rino did not tie him up because he didn't want to give the other earth gnomes the idea that he would abuse his subordinates physically with such an old-fashioned method of subjugation. He was better than that and more creative with his ideas.
