Gnomecalypse [5e solo hexcrawl]

[Smilex]

The two of you move to the west along the beach. You watch the sun descend behind the Sunset Shield mountains. Looking at the mountains you see a small avalanche near the top of Black peak. The spring is starting to melt even the highest areas.

For a moment you wonder whether Chrnogor was involved somehow.

You get to the angle of the beach where you can start heading southwards. Then you hear a curious noise, like metal striking rock. As you approach it comes more consistent, though still irregular. You also hear what sounds like a battlecry of a lone gnome from behind a nearby hill.

Should we see what that's all about?
