You basically have one month to start running games to resolve it, or I'm just going to make up an outcome.

Recently, a series of gnomish creatures have been sighted in the near vicinity and confines of Coranis. They appear to be scouting/gathering information. There seems to be a linked purpose to their actions.
(OC note: this is for a region I have designed that I will be adding soonish. Also, Ian, if you can contact me, we can discuss any further actions that might be taken.)
FYI, Coranis is a fairly large country. Spotting anything near there, unless it's an army, is pretty normal. ^_^

The sheer number of these creatures has been odd, as was their appearance. There was something 'not right' about them for gnomes. One weird gnome is one thing, but dozens of them being reported from outlying cities is worthy of note.
