The gnome starts chattering excitedly at your approach. "A visitor!" he says, "And just in time! In time for what, you might add? Well, watch and see!" He pulls out a large, two-tined fork that glitters in the light. With a flourish, he points it at a large crystal-studded rock, and the fork begins to vibrate! The rock shudders and cracks, and then splits into rubble. "See? My Titanium Wall-Basher reduces certain types of walls to rubble with no more effort than it takes to point. All you have to do is aim, and there you go! Very useful for some situations! It only works some places, though. Also, I have something else you might like to see!" With that, he pulls on a strange-looking helmet that covers the mouth and nose. He walks over to the tall glass tank, dives in, and floats down to the bottom. Bubbles froth out of the piece covering his mouth, and to your astonishment he begins to talk in a muffled voice! "See? I call it the Breathe-Like-A-Fish-Helmet. Or just the Fish Helm for short. It has all sorts of uses, and will revolutionize underwater exploration! At least it will, when I work out the problems. For some reason, it only works in extremely cold waters. Why that is, I have no idea, but it works, it works!" He swims to the top of the tank and climbs out, taking the helmet off and placing it on a table. "They're so easy to make once you know the trick, so I've made many of them for testing purposes. Would you like to try my fine helmet, or test out one of my blasting forks?"
