<!-- 15:32 Bennie [80]: missions 15:32 Gnomargery: I can offer you several missions: to deliver parcels to our boys and girls in the battlefield, to get reports from our undercover gnomes, to do some temperature measuring and to kill some humongous fungi. 15:32 Bennie [80]: deliver 15:32 Gnomargery: We need someone to bring four parcels to some of our far away outposts in the caverns. If you are interested, I can give you some more information about it. Are you willing to accept this mission? 15:33 Bennie [80]: information 15:33 Gnomargery: With the strong enemy presence out there, we have to divert their attacks as best as we can. We created several outposts that harass them as good as possible. ... 15:33 Gnomargery: The outposts not only serve as a constant thorn in their side, they also supply us with invaluable information about the enemy movement. ... 15:33 Gnomargery: Yet the life in those outposts is not only hazardous, but also lonely. Though we have emergency teleporters, we have not the energy stored to use them for more but the most basic and important functions. ... 15:33 Gnomargery: Yet the boys and girls at the lonely outposts long for some words and presents from far away home. To raise the morale, we sent them messengers with packages from home now and then. ... 15:33 Gnomargery: You could be one of those messengers and bring some joy to a gnomish life. 15:33 Bennie [80]: undercover 15:33 Gnomargery: Someone is needed to get three reports from our undercover agents posing as monsters in the caves around us. If you are interested, I can give you some more information about it. Are you willing to accept this mission? 15:34 Bennie [80]: yes 15:34 Gnomargery: Gnometastic! Get three reports from our agents.

If you are interested, I can give you some more information about it. Are you willing to accept this mission? 15:34 Bennie [80]: yes 15:34 Gnomargery: Gnometastic! Here are the parcels. Regrettably, the labels got lost during transport; but I guess those lonely gnomes won't mind as long as they get ANY parcel at all. ... 15:34 Gnomargery: If you lose the parcels, you'll have to get new ones. Gnomux sells all the equipment that is required for our missions. 15:34 Bennie [80]: temperature 15:34 Gnomargery: Your task would be to use a gnomish temperature measurement device - short GTMD - to locate the hottest spot at the lava pools in the caves.

If you are interested, I can give you some more information about it. Are you willing to accept this mission? 15:35 Bennie [80]: yes 15:35 Gnomargery: Gnometastic! You should have no trouble finding enough drillworms. -->
