Strata and Nodaryc are driving to Nodaryc's Talismonger contact. Nodaryc forgot that his contact has garden gnomes out front, which always creep him out. He rolls his driving and gets a critical glitch. This is compounded by the fact that he's driving a truck with a manual transmission that should really be in a museum.

GM: "You attempt to stop the truck, but you can feel the gnomes staring at you. You know that they're watching you. You swerve to the right, which causes the car behind you to brake unexpectedly, causing a three car pileup. You forget to press the clutch, and your car lurches forward a few times, careening into the side of a building."

Strata: "What's happening?"

Nodaryc: "Gnomes..."

Strata: "Ah."
