    A Gnome is coming...
  • wubblewubble Member Posts: 3,156
    So hard to choose.

    The mighty Glod sounds like an awesome weapon so I'll go for that.
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    I'm a Glod fearing individual... Are you?
  • wubblewubble Member Posts: 3,156
    @Anduin‌ Obviously


    Now answer my post in the guess who thread!

    Actually... All the options here are wrong... It's clearly Gli...

    Who do you expect to save you when a bear attacks? Will it be a rogue or a fighter? No! It will be a lumberjack!

    Mostly picked this to find out how someone becomes an axe-eater. Are they at all related to Gobblehammers? :)

    I said that already on the activity page once... This is the kind of stupidity we get under mummy leadership...

    But seriously, thanks for the poll, @Anduin :) Now I know for sure we'll get a Kara-Turan warrior in the Adventure Y-amato!

    Is it strange to want that Club as the NPC and Glirakuru as its weapon?
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    It looks like most of us love Glod...
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    Glandyr? I prefer Glanduin...

    Actually Glengoshi has a certain ring to it...

    Maybe Glesset or Gleagloth...

    Glevsdaak, Gleeminster, Glenvese, Glee, GlackGlack, Glouthpaw, Glidcarnival, GlentGoster, Glipdaigle, Gloriander, Glilly, Glimran, Glordrumfish...

    Even Glubble...

    All sound better than Glandyr.

    MwahahahAhahA!

    Although, I will admit, they all sound like names for half-orcs...

    Great poll anduin! :) axe-eater is such a grat handle.
  • kcwisekcwise Member Posts: 2,287
    I picked Gloria, but everyone knows the name is going to be Glarsomyr.
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    May as well put people out of there misery.

    It was Glint Gardnerson.

    And he is Gnome!

    ...

    Wait. There is room and capacity for a female gnome!

    It's going to be a female dwarven defender LN.

    Gli** is more feminine sounding than masculine and the community has been asking for a female dwarf since ever. Having one of the new kits limited to dwarves seals it.

    I'll even go as far as saying the name is probably Glinyce meaning holy, fair one.

    I do have the possibility of being completely and utterly wrong though.

    See, I was completely and utterly wrong.
