Gnomish Crack Suicide Squad Division

by An observer

(Crossing, Zoluren: 238 Arhat 363)

This night, brave warriors from the south, all belonging to the Gnomish Liberation Movement, Crack Suicide Squad Division, gave their lives in an effort to defeat the evil that Sorrow has brought.

Battling odds that were insurmountable to the best of warriors, these small, ferocious squad members stood their ground and scratched the knees of the enemy with their hearts and their weapons. Even after losing their weapons, this group of courageous heroes went back into battle, forsaking their lives so that the goal might be accomplished.

In this war that is ours... the first, most obvious heroes of it must be the Gnomish Crack Suicide Squad! They sacraficed their lives with no thought of self or possessions. Sacrificed all to defeat the evil, with only a vague promise of marrying princesses as their prize if they succeeded.

Many held this brave band of warriors in contempt. They sat on their keesters, protected by those who were willing to give their lives for the greater good, and they sneered at the passing squad.

So be it... glory was not their goal. Their goal was to put an end to the evil... and they tried until they were forced to walk the starry road.

Remember and honor the Gnomish Crack Suicide Squad... Remember, and Rejoice in that remembrance.

Honor them as they should be honored.

Zarblunk - the fearless commander of the squad... maintaining discipline and keeping his squad together even in the worst circumstances. A true leader.

Zartunk - Scout and Chant leader, who lifted their hearts with his ceaseless singing of the squad's official anthems.

Zarphanina - The banner-bearer of the squad. Waving the banner to strike fear into their foes.

Zarish - Fighting with glory through Elpazi after Elpazi... Picking the skin from Elpazi knees out of his teeth.

Zarbunkle - Mighty with his sword... scratchting the knees of S'lai. Not soon shall the S'lai forget the name Zarbunkle.

Zarplunk - Who's lighthearted banter kept the squad's hearts filled with happiness and glory even when things seemed most dark.

Zarwego - Even when the squad had ended in death... was the first to regain life and encourage a charge back into the enemy lines.

Zuicide - Rarely has the realms seen a gnome as courageous as Zuicide was... the first into battle. Always ready to strike down the enemies' knees. A warrior!

Zardweezal - A Tog, adopted at birth by a family of gnomes, he was considered by all Gnomes to be a brother. With a Gnome's heart and a Gor'Tog's strength, his coming made the knees of the enemy quiver and tremble. Easier to hit for his brethren.

Zarzing - An illiterate Gnome who would not let that be a detriment to himself. He faced the enemy with a valiance rarely seen in these realms.

Ranger Keloc - Not a member of the squad that set forth from the far south. But upon seeing the glory and the courage of the Gnomish Crack Suicide Squad... asked and gained admittance into that noblest of groups. His actions in the midst of battle brought more honor to the squad. Honor his sacrafices to the cause.

These brave souls risked everything for the freedom of little people around the realms. They should be honored for their extraordinary valiance. Nae they NEED to be honored for it.

I call upon the Prince to erect a memorial for the brave, valiant, courageous souls who were and ever will be in our hearts known as the Gnomish Crack Suicide Squad.

Bless them and give thanks.
