Three times we had to deal with folks who either ran into gnomer before the tankbusters were done or ran into gnomer before the tunnel boss was done.
The King ended up glitching and just sitting there and then reset.
With 20 or so or us behind enemy lines.
Said enemy lines were highly antagonized elite gnomes.
It hurt.....
So please.....for the kittens....stay with the King.
Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Gnomeregan-5 was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some weak, irradiated lepers? Oh no, they were merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this, and this time, you will not interfere!

Description
Momentarily, the multi-phased assault upon Gnomeregan will begin and Mekgineer Thermaplugg and his men will be brought to justice! Too long has Thermaplugg festered in the depths of our home, defended by a corrupt and irradiated army. The assault begins in but a moment! Be ready recruit, this fight will not be for the faint-hearted.
