Neglin asked as he looked over at his cousin (by marriage, three times removed) who was polishing a long length of wood. The other gnome was well known in the family for 'troubleshooting'. Of course he was also known to be the source of the occasional riot, event of mayhem and generally being regarded by those outside the family as a brigand from time to time. He had read some of Nevlin's papers, and he was an effective alchemist and merchant. <br/><br/>That train of thought was cut off as the door was kicked in and two of the thugs he had been dealing with of late stomped in, hunched over to avoid hitting their heads. <br/><br/>"So .. word is you called in some sort of leg breaker to take care of us." The leader growled as he picked up the gnome and slammed him on his counter. "Where is he then runt?"<br/><br/>The sound of a loud belch filled the small store as the two men turned to see who made that sound. <br/><br/>The two men outside smiled as they heard the sound of breaking furniture and muffled impacts of bodies hitting walls, the boss was having all the fun but they figured that they wouldn't have any more problems from the runts after this. They'd all quietly line up and pay the protection. <br/><br/>Till the two men came out of the door and the biggest, and ugliest, gnome they had ever seen stepped out of the door and stood upright to smile at them as he patted a staff in his hands. They pulled their blades and circled the .. gnome. Who merely smiled as he thumped the staff on the ground and a massive blade 'clicked' out. <br/><br/>"I was hoping you would try that." He said as he spun the scythe around with casual ease.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Background</strong>:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">From the beginning, Nevin was an unusual child. Gifted in tinkering, he took apart his father's watch at the young age of 10 and was working small clockwork constructs together by the time he was a lively 17 and apprenticed to a local crafts-master as soon as he showed skill. A gifted alchemist and weaponsmith, he's shown a lot of daring in making weapons that mix metalwork, intricate clockworks and alchemical components. <br/>The unusual bit of his outlook was his desire to protect his community. Mixing his knack for crafting weapons, potions and sense of justice, Nevin has spent more than a few nights protecting various gnomish businesses in his city and even visiting family in other towns to step on thugs attempting protection rackets. His two dogs, potions and exotic weaponry aid him greatly in showing the low lifes who thing gnomes are easy prey. <br/>He typically prefers to ambush his foes, usually catching them in the act and given the size advantage they have he particularly likes to catch them in gnomish scaled buildings. Using a mix of alchemical tools, infusions, and his weapons as well as any allies he can recruit he likes to turn them over to the guard in a variety of embarrassing conditions if he can. (dyed odd colors, bound and gagged, hung up like a goose waiting slaughter and such). This is to show the local gnomes that they can take the 'biggers' with a good plan and team work.<br/><br/></div></div><strong>Character Sheet</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=8737 (http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=8737)<br/></div></div>
