The shifter gnomes were in their animal forms.
Life in a dungeon core cave without there actually being a dungeon core inside was treating them well.
They had managed to mug every passing adventurer who had come thus far, and now they had the sizable treasure.
Alaric and Nick had not been able to find them, for they had broken out of prison by themselves. For all that they were small, they were actually quite dangerous.
And they weren't just dangerous, but they also had a higher intelligence than the animals they looked like.
And so, as Peter and Asmodeos came to their cave, expecting to find shifter gnomes or wolves or maybe just some glowing mushrooms, the shifter gnomes hid deeper into the cave.
This may not be a real dungeon, but they were certain that they could make the experience so that Peter and Asmodeos would never darken their doorstep ever again.
And so, the siege began.
