So this happens during the encounter with Nere.

Most gamers, like me, who work hard in real life as LG/NG/CG would choose to save the gnomes in the gryforge. Because why not, right?

Now this is a funny thing, on entering the combat with Nere and his minions, you CANNOT RELEASE ANY AOE DAMAGE, or the gnomes would SUDDENLY become hostiles and attack you...

Bro I am trying to save you???
