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.

I blame Oreosome for everything :P.

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

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.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
