The Uppanddown

The Uppanddown is a local gnomish tavern nestled deep within the cavernous settlement of Gnomengarde. It serves as a central hub of hospitality, drinking, and rest for the local gnome inventors, craftspeople, and the rare visitors permitted past Gnomengarde’s guarded gates.

Notable Events

The Post-Doppelganger Celebration

Following a tense crisis where shape-shifting doppelgangers infiltrated the gnomish court—paralyzing King Korboz with paranoia and resulting in the binding of King Gnerki—the adventuring party exposed and defeated the threat. In deep gratitude for restoring safety to Gnomengarde, the Gnomish Kings threw a small celebration for the party. This event featured famous Gnomish fireworks and discounts on their remaining magical artifacts, inventions, and clever gizmos.

Planning the Ambush on the Spider

After the festivities concluded, the party and their companions (including the dwarf Gotrek, the academic Dusty, and the monks Jaque and Zoe) retired to The Uppanddown to rest and recuperate. Laid out in sleeping bags across the tavern floor, they utilized the sanctuary of the tavern to map out their final strategy to confront the Spider at Wave Echo Cave. It was during their late-night stay at The Uppanddown that they received a critical undercover message from their rogue companion, Erëvyn, confirming he had successfully infiltrated the Spider’s operations, setting the stage for their eventual victory.
