That's the best use of a gnome I've ever seen!+1
Overspark: Brags on and on about how great he is, leaves his crew to die.
Gazlowe: Authorizes hazard pay in the face of danger, orders Skaggit to pay life insurance to the families of his dead crew members...at full value.
Next time someone tries to tell me gnomes are better than goblins, this is the quest I'm a'referencing.

What to do
Description
You and the Greasemonkeys got this machine up and running even faster than I expected. The gnome we captured is keeping her mouth shut, but that shouldn't be a problem. I can take it from here. Let me know when you're ready. I'll crank up this machine to max and we'll finally see what it can do. I hope it prints gold coins...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Let's Get It Started
Those gnomes think busting up machinery is gonna stop a goblin like me from figuring out what all the tech in this place does? I ain't never seen a hunk of junk so busted up that ol' Skaggit and I can't get running smoother than the day it was made. Tell ya what.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Machinations for Mechagon
So Mechagon ain't just a fairy tale? Gotta admit I'm surprised. But, if the tech on that king is any indication of what they've got out there for us to swipe, I am very, very happy to be wrong! We can't rush into this. A good crew died today. That ain't happening again on my watch.
