Macavity

Carideth, angry at the gnome leader's arrogance, takes a swing at him.  The
blow connects squarely with the gnome's large nose. The old fellow is knocked
backwards, and looks to be knocked out, but when his followers rush to help
him, he angrily pushes them aside. Rising to his feet, he begins to scream
insults at Carideth. The gnome seems angrier than ever before. This time, even
his previously indifferent henchmen seem to be rather shaken. A few of them
tighten their grip on their axes. The gnome leader begins to get so flustered
with rage that his voice fails him. In his place, the tallest of his followers
steps forward, axe at the ready.

"It is with great reluctance," he begins, "to formally place you under  arrest
for assaulting the captain of the king's guard.  You shall accompany us to our
city - "

"If we can figure out where the hell it is.." mutters another gnome.

"Ahem.." says the first gnome. "You shall accompany us to our city to be 
tried for your crime, and shall be brought forth for questioning as to 
how it came about you were trespassing on the king's property. If you shall
not come with us willingly then you shall be taken by force."

The gnome shifts his eyes around your group. It is all the other gnomes can do
to restrain their leader from charging into your party with his axe raised
overhead.
