"hmmmmph! Tazosurefoot is really gonna get it this time when I get back! That ranger can't give good directions if his life depended on ....on...
Oh hello .
"My name is Cephius. Perhaps you have heard of me, I am the great Magician Inventor which hails from Klick’Anon." Cephius said to the clerk.
The clerk at the census office thought he was hearing voices as he looked and no one was in the office.
"Hey! Down here!" Cephius cried.
The clerk looked over the other side of the counter to see a small gnome holding a walking stick. It was hard to tell what color his garments were, as he was completely covered from head to toe in mud. The clerk tried not to laugh, but how could one not laugh at a gnome trying to appear dignified covered in mud, and the only thing one could make out was the eyes opening and closing.
The clerk quickly covered his mouth to try to hold in the laughter that was about to erupt, but managed to reply.
"Ummm can I (snicker) help you?"
"Yes, I had to travel through that bloody swamp because some ranger named Tazosurefoot is an idiot and gave me wrong directions. He told me I'd might be able to come here to further my studies on magic and create more of my great inventions."
"Is that so," replied the clerk still trying hard not to laugh.
"Yes you might be interested in knowing I am a great inventor. I was even awarded a medal of knowledge by the mayor of Klick’Anon himself. He used my iron boat and sank right to the bottom!"
Amused by the story the clerk encouraged him, "Please go on."
"Well yes, quite right...the mayor had heard I had a new invention called the iron boat. He planned to give his public speech to the whole town while standing in it on Mechanics Day. As soon as they untied it from the docks, he sunk to the bottom of the lake along with the boat."
Cephius grabbed a handful of his muddy tunic and pulled it out for the clerk to see. The clerk noticed something shiny under all that mud.
"This is my medal for inventing a new way to take baths!" Cephius said with pride.
The clerk couldn't take much more of this knowing at any second he would burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Yes, …yes I see it the clerk said with tears of laughter in his eyes." As he held back the impending mirth. "How can I help you?"
"Well I need to register here so I can join a local guild of gnomish magic to further my studies and create my inventions."
"Oh...well dear me...I'm sorry but there is no gnomish magical guild here."
"There's not?"
"Nope"
"Well bless my sprockets! Tazosurefoot is really in for it this time! I have been wandering around in that bloody marshy swamp for 3 days just to get here...and I..."
"Three days you say?" The clerk interrupted.
"Yes! Three days!"
"But Klick’Anon is only a half day journey from here just up the road?"
There was a long moment of silence as Cephius and the clerk both just looked at each other.
"And there is no gnomish magical guild here?"
"Nope"
"Well then. I guess I will be going then. If you need anything invented or need to find me, I will be in Klick then."
"May all your machines run smoothly." Cephius added as he departed.
The clerk just stood there a moment not believing what he just saw. If it weren’t for the mud still on the floor of the office, he wouldn't have believed it really happen. Once he was sure the gnome was out of earshot, he began laughing hysterically.

Some of you all may know me as Tazosurefoot from the eqoa RP forum. Looking forward to adventuring with you all. Me (a seasoned magician) and my wife (bubbletrbl a seasoned gnomish alchemist) will be residing in Klick and welcome all to come for a visit. I can show you all my new inventions(please wear your armor, only as a precaution). We play weekdays PST 5:30pm-11:00pm except on Tuesdays and pretty much all weekend. RPA members, please feel free to call upon me should you need help with anything. I have a lot of experience in both eqoa and Dming and always enjoy the telling of a good story
I look forward to meeting you all. Travel well!
