Mechanimagica Spy
The following is the story of a Gnome named Bahlding Constantlee. Our story starts in the dim city of Ak'Anon.


Mechanimagica Spy - Chapter 2
Gindhal received a note from Mechanimagica saying that there was need of a spy, and the other Gnomes wree too young to attempt this dangerous and long quest. Mechanimagica wanted photo proof of a Dragon that had settled into the snowy lands outside of the Barbarian North. The rewards were amazing. After much consideration, Bahlding accepted. After looking over the note again, he realized they had called him Bahlding Constantlee. This was to be his name from then forward. Balhding grabbed a robe and some starting money, and ran out into the Steamfont Mnts to try to gain the minimum level required to even attempt to see the Dragon that had murdered so many better than 10 of him.
Balding had never been outside of the city in his life. He had only heard of the sun, and the only other people he saw were the ones that adventured into Ak'Anon. He had never seen a Halfling. The very first thing he saw when he stepped out into the sun was, well, the sun. Ak'Anon was a cave, and not much sunlight ever got in. It was blinding, but Bahlding son got over it and decided to attempt fighting. He had studied his spells well and soon was three-fourths of the way to reaching minimum level. Then he heard of the Windmills.
Never before had Bahlding seen such works of art. They were massive structures and powered Ak'Anon. They were under attack by the occasional Troll, but the guards there were excellent and never lost. They were the landmarks of Steamfont and the pride of all things Gnomish. Balhding sent in pictures of the Windmills to Mechanimagica. Also he sent a note. "This is not what you are looking for, but I want you to keep a record of my progress. I will give a picture of every landmark I pass on my way to the dragon."
  Mechanimagica Spy - Chapter 1
Bahlding Constantlee was born in the mechanic city of Ak'Anon. He was born with hair. Not much, but he did have hair. But when he was only 4 months old h began to lose it. He grew it back at 8 months, and lost it on his first birthday. His parents nicknamed him Bahlding Constantlee.
Then his parents were called to help with the boat construciton to Velious. Balhding (true name Gnidhal) never saw his parents again. Balhding was 7 when news of the attack hit. They had been attacked by a group of giants, and were presumed captured.
Gnidhal adapted and became a very skilled mechanic, as did all Gnomes his age. It was never until he received a call from the casters guild Mechanimagica that he saw the power of arcane abilities.

Mechanimagica Spy - Chapter 3
Thus began Bahlding's epic journey. One he knew he might not return from, but one he knew he would remember forever. He stopped to take pictures of Kelethin, Kaladim's great entrance statue, the Seafury Cyclops in Ocean on Tears, The East Commonland tunnel, the undead of Kithikor Forest, the farms of Rivervale, the never-ending Plains of Karana, the luxurious Qeynos, the Kerran Island between Odus and Antonica, Erudin, then came back to Qeynos and stayed. There he rested back to health, and found an apartment for a short period of time. Many days he had been traveling, counting on his anti-sleep magic to keep him awake (caster caffeine) and his low rations to keep him in strength. He reached Qeynos, and received the level he needed to go to Halas and Permafrost, and then hopefully make his way back to Ak'Anon alive.
He traveled to Halas, taking a picture of Surefall Glade and Blackburrow on the way. He didn't like the temperature of Everfrost, as he came from a land where it is spring almost all of the time. He finally made his way to Halas, where he sat in the snow and waited for the small boat to take him across the nearly frozen waters. After he made it in, he went to the hottest inn he could find and slept until the next morning. Then it was time to find the dragon.

Mechanimagica Spy - Chapter 4
Balhding memorized his spell that made him invisible. If all went well, this was all he would need. He began to run through Everfrost, taking a few pictures of the giant Mammoths and the snowy Orcs. Then he was the entrance to Permafrost. He stared at the 50-foot giants guarding it, and thanked Brell for Barbarian hunters that would only get madder if they got hit. Soon the giants were killed at the fort entrance, but the Barbarians wouldn't understand Mechanimagica's greatest plan for spying on the dragon, and they seemed intent on waiting for other giants, so he continued into Permafrost.
Inside were ice goblins. Hundreds of them. They were the only thing between him and the Dragon, and a huge maze. Bahlding had a map (which is a good thing to have in a maze) and the goblins couldn't see through his invisibility. He ran through the maze of goblins, some of which he swore could see him, but didn't act like they did. He continued until he saw the dragon.

Mechanimgaica Spy - Chapter 5
The dragon was an amazing creature, and Bahlding knew then why he was sent on this mission. The dragon talked with the giants, as if it were the leader. He took picture proof and wrote down many of the things he knew the dragon was saying (Bahlding knew dragon-speak). The dragon had a strange accent that must have been picked up from talking with giants all the time. He didn't understand giant, but based on what the dragon was saying they were up to no good.
He sent the picture and a note saying he had finished his quest to Mechanimagica. He then said he would be settling down in Qeynos, as it was a city of more adventure then Ak'Anon ever was.
Bahlding died in the deep lairs of Blackburrow, attempting to save a group of young Humans. The Humans made it out alive, but the Gnome was killed in his own magic blast, killing over a hundred gnolls in the blink of an eye. There was a ceremony in Ak'Anon and Qeynos on what would have been his 65th birthday. Sandfyre Dunestorm spoke kind words about Balhding, and of his courage against the gnolls. When asked how in Norrath Sandfyre knew, he replied, "I was in the group of people that Gnidhal saved. He was a heroic Gnome, and those who say differently should be cursed by Ro and Serilis alike." To this, there was a moment of silence for the Gnome who knew not of adventure when he had his 50th birthday, and died saving someone who would become a great hero. Balhding Constantlee was 61 day of his death. His final words were, "Get out of here alive, or nobody will."
