The gnomes are encountered once the party approaches the checkpoint and answers the Flaming Fist's questions, having the Steel Watcher scan them. As the party is about to be arrested as enemies of [[The Absolute]], a group of rebel gnomes pops up and use a Sunflash grenade to disable the machine. The Flaming Fists at the checkpoint give chase, and the gnomes run off somewhere to the east. | The gnomes are encountered once the party approaches the checkpoint and answers the Flaming Fist's questions, having the Steel Watcher scan them.

Wulbren {{Coords|-258|-1084}} can be found in the southwestern room, along with {{CharLink|Barcus Wroot|Barcus}}, if he survived. Wulbren states that the city has gone to hell and that the [[Gondian]]s are responsible for it. They created the [[Steel Watcher|Steel Watchers]] who are guarding the city. Refusing to go along with Wulbren's plan earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Keeping Your Hands Clean''' ([[Folk Hero]] background). Afterwards, the party can speak to Wulbren again to accept the plan and receive the {{SmRarityItem|Runepowder Bomb}}. | ||

If the first two options are chosen, the Gondians help the party. Otherwise, they are too scared to fight against the Banites and remain hostile until Black Gauntlet Tamia Holzt is defeated.
