"Hohoho. Pleasure meeting you too! And thanks for the gift, I will have to think of something for you too!"

Ichmod, still sitting on the chair as Klashanna left, looked over the designs. Armor? No, he was already wearing one! It would be silly to give him designs for armor. Oh, wait! Self-mobile armor! But the gnomes did have something like that, enchanted suits with extra bulk, that made the wearer larger and stronger (but clumsier).

That seemed to be the design. But without the magical links he was used to, nope, nope, levers and cogs, mainly. Interesting, but seemed much more prone to technical difficulties than the magical version.

Hmm... That paper felt funny to the touch, poke, poke, poke. No, focus Ichmod! Robots!

Hmm... There was an interesting word. Robot. Rooobot. A self-powered machine, no driver, no rider. But... All those gears, it was really fun to see how they connected but it all looked really unpractical! How to change that, how, how, how. Oh, yes! Just a small alteration the pistons and the levers, substitute the hidraulic pumps and the power sources for runewire to unclog space. Yes, yes. It all cobbled up itself in his mind... But that word did not fit anymore... Robot. No, no. A new name was needed.

"Golem! Hohohohoho! Yes! That's it!"

With that small surge of inspiration, the short god could no longer sit idle, his skin shifted to a lighter metalic sheen, and he dashed through the halls to the door, and as soon as he felt the magic return he opened the iron gates of Inovation in the middle of the void, striding into his own halls.

Ichmod had a design, and from the world beneath, he gathered the mumblings of gnomes who had been assaulted and thieved by a new race, so his deisgn would soon find use. His golems would serve well as the soldiers of the gnomes.
