A loud gun shot went off, Smuggs stared forward as Troggs rushed down the metallic hallways... Smuggs aimed his rifle and pulled the trigger hitting a trogg in the shoulder, it didn’t even seem to phase the rocky creature! Another gnome fired his rifle missing the trogg and hitting some pipes behind them, gas began to leak into the hallway!
“Gas leak! Pull back!” A gnomish commander screamed! The gnomes turned and retreated as quickly as possible, a scream went out as a trogg managed to get to close! Smuggs watched in horror as the trogg grabbed the gnomish female and bashed her body into the metallic floor spraying blood across the room with a sickening squelch! You could hear the gnome females bone break, as the trogg began to chew on her broken body... The scene made Smuggs sick, he tried as hard he could to hold back the bile in the back of his throat! Smuggs rushed forward, hearing the Troggs behind him as they found their gnomish prey... Another gnome was ripped apart his limbs ripped off by the Troggs...
Smuggs continued forward as green gas started flooding from vents, he neared his home, rushing in to grab his wife... The hideous screams outside signaled that the Troggs were coming! Smuggs grabbed his wife, a cheerful smart little gnome women with curly black hair! “Gelbin’s plan failed! The gas is rising, it’s not killing the Troggs! We must run!” Smuggs called, pulling her forward.
Smuggs aimed around the corner quick to see several Troggs rush through the radioactive fog unaffected, in fact they only seemed more angry! Smuggs fired twice forced the Troggs to duck before pulling his wife quickly towards the entrance of Gnomeregan! Smuggs rushed forwards he could see the elevator to freedom they were gonna live! A explosion knocked the gnomes down to the ground, Smuggs pushed himself up quickly they had to flee!
Turning to look at his wife, a massive trogg stepped out of the ever encroaching fog, she had been pushed closer to the expanding fog from the blast. Smuggs called out in desperation as the trogg raised his club and brought it down upon his love, his wife! Her scream of agony as she was tenderized by the horrific monster, her body pulled apart to be eaten!
Smuggs rushed forward to rescue her into the radioactive fog, He felt the deadly fog enter his lungs! He nearly made it to his wife as the trogg looked up at him, her hair in its teeth! Smuggs roared raising his gun to fire before being knocked back by the dining trogg and outta the fog! Smuggs pushed himself up to run back in, he had to save her! He could still save her! When a group of three gnomes grabbed his arms and legs and pulled him free of the mechanical hell that Gnomeregan had turned into! He reached out in vain to get his wife and fight the gnomes dragging him to freedom!
“Noo!!!” Smuggs sat up abruptly, his body covered in sweat... He looked around the room of the inn shaking, the same nightmare... The day he lost his city, his home and his wife... Smuggs pushed the blankets off him, revealing green leperous skin on his legs, he would not be sleeping anymore tonight...
