Summary: This is a song/poem I wrote for my bard character. The story behind the song involves a Gnome who transformed cat feces into Platinum coins. By the time to coins changed backed into their original form the Gnome was long gone. He narrowly escaped at Waterdeep. Until he encountered our party's Orc Barbarian that is. The Gnome's situation was created by the game master.



A Tricky Little Gnome He Was



There once was a Gnome

who a few months ago

decided to play a trick.



It was quite clever,

yet a short endeavor,

and the spell wore off quite quick.



He would make cat droppings

into something nice and sparkling;

all with the flip of his wrist.



The Platinum was splendid,

but others could not spend it

putting the Gnome at risk.



And by the time merchants found out

the Gnome had fled town,

and could not be tracked at all.



It seemed as if all was lost,

but one day the Gnome pissed someone off,

and barely escaped with his life.



The Gnome finally met his demise

from an Orc in disguise,

and eventually the peasants rejoiced.



For they learned the Gnomes story

and thought him to be sordid

due to his Platinum betrayal.



So the moral of this song

is not to transmute dung

into a monetary material.
