Today made me really uncomfortable with the decision to force us gnome tinkers to participate or contribute otherwise to killings of our own brothers and sisters who where sent on the mission to Solusek Eye dungeon.
As an apprentice tinker I was offered a task to obtain appropriate trophy to show off my skill and dedication to the craft. Among many contraptions I was asked to produce as a proof of my abilities, was a thermal cloak. To make this device I needed to procure a tattered gnomish cloak, which was rumored to be a rare possession in the hands of Solusek goblins, which they could have only obtained by killing and pillaging my fellow gnomes. Armed with this knowledge and with my gnomish contempt for goblins of any kind I went on what I could call a killing spree in the halls of Solusek goblins’ domain to avenge the deaths of poor gnome miners and recover their possessions. I slaughtered numerous kings, torturers, drunks, bartenders, foramen, high shamen etc, etc. but to no avail. As it turned out the notorious cloaks were, in fact, still in the hands of Solusek mining company members, as was handily demonstrated to me by a dubiously looking necromancer who was preying on gnomes in the mines. He had great number of these bloody cloaks stuffed in his bags in very short period of time!
I can only think it is a dastardly cruel joke to make direct or even indirect killing our fellow gnomes a part of our professional rite of passage. Even the mere existence of such a recipe in our skill tree is offensive to me!
