"Nice one, Caliaphy!" Serna waved up to her friend before she slammed her shield square into the face of another Bullywug.

The Overseer looked over towards the Shield Maiden despite the ear splitting ringing in his head and vanished reappearing behind her. The changeling seized Serna so fast that she could not react in time. "NOW YOU'RE MINE! SURRENDER AND DROP YOUR WEAPONS! OR YOU SHALL NEVER SEE THIS PRETTY LITTLE THING AGAIN!"

Without hesitation Serna opened her mouth and bit down on The Overseer's hand while she took her booted foot and stomped on The Overseer's ankle.

The Overseer laughed again its grip tightened on the shield maiden, "So feisty for someone so small! I like this one!"

"You're not going to like it when we kick your butt, you mean, nasty Overseer!" Serna retorted after she relinquished her bite.

Caliaphy wrinkled her nose with a huff, "HEY! That's my friend there! Put her down this instant or I'll--"

"Or you'll do what, you insignificant fairy?" The Overseer sneered.

"I'll do this!" The kurori produced a triangle and began to play a little tune. The vibrations from the little instrument hit the crystal behind her amplifying the sound. Any thing that wasn't made of magic or constructed by the gnomes became brittle and shattered. The crystal itself built up so much energy from Caliaphy's instrument it forced the changeling to toss the shield maiden across the hard stone floor.

"Go long! Go for the touch down!" Alyson cheered the swordsman running to catch Serna as if she was thrown by the quarter back on a football team.

"Oh crap!" Irzen saw Serna being tossed away and raced to intercept her before she hit the ground, "I got her! I got her!" Unfortunately, the Swordsman forgot he no longer possessed the body of an adult. So when he 'caught' the Shield Maiden, it was more like he broke her fall when she landed on top of him than him actually catching her before she hit the ground.

Both Serna and Irzen groaned from the collision and did their best to get back to their feet.

"What in the Realm hit me?" Irzen asked no one in particular.

"Me, I think." Serna replied equally confused as she rose from atop the Swordsman.

The Overseer's form quivered and shivered from the intense stream of sound. In one final shriek, Venger's servant imploded into nothing. The crazed gnome fell face first on the floor with a thud and turned to stone. With the leader dead, the bullywugs dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"We surrender. We don't remember how we got here?" The head frog man said.

Another added, "Why we here and not in swamp?"

Lazheros stepped forward cautiously, "Well done, Caliaphy, it would seem you found your way finally."

"Aww! Shucks!" The kurori blushed.

Gimble and the other gnomes came back down into the mine with looks of relief. "Oh thank you! Many thanks for defeating him and freeing the Crystal Elemental."

The crystal shimmered brightly reforming into a huge like humanoid figure with gnomish features. The elemental reached down and revived Nathosot with a touch.

He yawned as if he had been asleep and got to his feet, "Oh hello my friend! My fellow gnomes and I thank you adventurers for all of your help. You see, this crystal elemental was a gift from Flandal Steelskin. A truly rare and wondrous creature but we accepted it as our guardian. Perhaps, one day we shall repay the favor."

The bronze man simply bowed to the gnomes, "It seems that Flandal Steelskin is a favored deity of both the gnomes of Gravelwood and here in Gnome Gnome town."
