I should totally take notes on that in case a group of my players end up running away from an enemy in a populated area.
Er. I mean...
Poor gnomes.
If it were my players, they'd just let the gnomes die.

My players are dicks.
If they were mine, I'd reward them for running. It's when they don't do the smart thing that half the party gets possessed and tries to kill the others.
We didn't even realize until we had gone to bed, two days later.
Seriously. I figured it would be a minor plot point at most, unless everyone was really careless. You just wait 'till I start tracking diseases, or karma, or magical curses, or something.

You might not have noticed, but this is not your OOC thread.

I blame Oreosome for everything :P.

One would think adventurers would have killed gnomes themselves on some quest or another.

For anyone who backed the reprint kickstarter so long ago, the Therkla story (Entitled "Spoiler Alert") got released.

Does adamantine have some special effects on unholy abominations?

"Armor" in D&D usually reduces hit chance. Damage Reduction simply reduces damage taken per attack. It's relatively rare and often fairly powerful, since the numbers are usually pretty high compared to weapon damage values. However, it's usually pierced by a specific condition, either a material or magical effect, which is denoted by a term or terms after the slash. DR 5/- means you take 5 points less damage from every physical attack period. DR 15/Adamantine means you take 15 less damage from non-adamantine weapons. And so on.

In other words, it's pretty close to just dealing bonus damage. Which can be particularly vital if your normal weapons deal low damage themselves, as with dual-wielding daggers or flurrying arrows.
